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 [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: ‘Now, Listen’ Tour Retrospective
As the opening salvo for the official Solid Steel mix CD series, Solid Steel: ‘Now, Listen’ had plenty of expectation riding on it’s shoulders. Embarking the Solid Steel brand on it’s logical progression, DJ Food and DK expanded on the hap-hazard nature of the selections heard on the radio broadcasts with an outstanding grab-bag of [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: Coldcut Meet Juan Atkins
Many of the Solid Steel shows doing the rounds over the past few years as MP3s have mostly come from the mid-nineties onwards. While there have been some outstanding shows from that time, they don’t really reflect the early days of Solid Steel. And by early, we’re talking the eighties! Back when every radio show [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: Coldcut Meets The Orb
Welcome to the very first Vintage Solid Steel, brought to you by bosbos.net in conjunction with Ninja Tune’s ‘Solid Steel’ radio show.

Six Vicious (AKA Sixtoo) - Ghostride The UFO
Weapons House is the online presence for A/V developments from Megasoid and Six Vicious (AKA Sixtoo). Consisting of Sixtoo (Rob Squire) and Wolf Parade’s Hadji Bakara, the Megasoid sound system has been busting up people’s ability to hear straight on a monthly basis, alternating club-style nights with impromptu block parties on the side courtesy of [...]
Controller 7 - BUMPS
BUMPS is a mix which, to quote Controller 7 himself, ‘…was put together in my spare time as an attempt to keep myself entertained’. If everyone else had this kind of forward thinking approach to boredom, we’d be overrun with quality creative efforts! As such, C7 gets digging in those old skool hip hop crates [...]
Disco 45: Jam On It (mastermix series #7)
Okay, so we’ve gotta step it up a gear here - too many classic mastermixes going unheard! Not too much on the words and unfortunately no tracklisting, but plenty of that unmistakeable mid-eighties soulful sound that was on every dial in the land back in the day. Rich Color:
“Saw an ad for this 12-inch white [...]
Barry Jones: September Funk (mastermix series #4)
Yes, it’s not actually September. But think about all those times when you’ve been shaking your thing on the dancefloor in a club, and a track like De La Soul’s ‘A Rollerskatin’ Jam Named Saturday’ comes on.. when it’s a Tuesday. Either way, it’s yet another classic from the Rich Color vaults to give you [...]
Early Banksy piece trashed
Bravo, Bristol City Council. Way to play smart by removing one of your self-appointed sons’ earliest works and in the process, getting the gas face from just about everyone. Yes, in their divine wisdom, the council decided it was high time to get tough on graffiti crime (a phrase probably used in a council meeting, [...]
Big Apple Production Vol. 2 (mastermix series #3)
Cutting to the chase, it’s 1984, and the Big Apple Production mastermix has gone on to the next step - volume 2 courtesy of the Latin Rascals. Rapidfire ain’t the word - this mix wedges in everything but the kitchen sink! Every few bars a new track or one-shot sample. As Rich Color puts it: [...]
