Vintage Solid Steel: PC Via Josephine/Coldcut Meet Jean Jacques Perry
A mixed bag (aren’t they all ‘mixed’ bags?) here, but quality assured nonetheless. PC returns to the shores of bosbos.net yet again with ‘Via Josephine’, and we’re more than happy to accomodate him. And what’s this? Jean Jacques Perry turning up along with Coldcut for a natter? The only thing to improve this wonderful listening [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: DJ Food Vs DJ Vadim
Vintage Steel brings vintage DJ Vadim. A big-hitter on the dusty beats and breaks scene back in the mid 90s, Russia’s finest carved a niche for himself early on by utilising unique sounds that other producers hadn’t thought to load into their samplers back then - it seems Vadim had a lot of squeaky door [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: King Megatrip - I Must Insist You Eat Steel/Coldcut - Planet Of The Apes Special
(Introduction courtesy of Strictly Kev) For this week’s vintage session we turn the tables over to Solid Steel’s US ambassador: King Megatrip.

Vintage Solid Steel: J. Rocc - Syndromes 2
Not much time to spare this time round, but don’t think this entry from the Vintage Steel treasure chest is any less special because of it.

Vintage Solid Steel: Last Stand At The BBC
Cue the atmospheric wild west music in the background as Solid Steel makes it’s last stand! The BBC in their unrelentingly infinite wisdom (note: sarcasm) never really know a good thing when they’ve got it (don’t get us started on the Radiophonic Workshop), and the eradication of Solid Steel from the BBC airwaves is a [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: DK - SSDK01
Summer is just around the corner for most people, so it’s time to put on something… funky! Cue DK, one-half of DJ Food and one totally nice fella with an ear for the tunes. Effectively a 0.5 in the official Solid Steel mix CD series, SSDK01 came across 2 CDs and features some great sounds [...]

Vintage Solid Steel: War Is Stupid
War is bad. Perhaps the only good thing about war is how it inspires people to rise up and make their voices heard, however much some of our nations’ politicans choose to ignore them. Musicians often step into the breach, being in an enviable position to reach people on a wider scale. Strictly Kev covers [...]
