DJ Food (PC & Strictly Kev): Solid Steel 97-99
DK’s choice this time round and he sums up these selections thus: “These are probably my favourite Solid Steel mixes, early days in the show for me and some great ‘moments’ in them….” He obviously liked them because as well as appearing on the 19/10/97, 06/06/99 and [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: Ken Nordine - Talking All That Word Jazz (2008 Edition)
“You may not know Ken Nordine by name or face, but you’ll almost certainly recognize his voice.” A very special outing for the Vintage Solid Steel collection for your listening enjoyment, originally broadcast in 1998 but extended and edited for 2008 by an exacting Strictly Kev who doesn’t know when to say ‘it’s finished!’ Also [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: DK - More From The Vaults
Time is precious as they say. We say - never a truer word spoken. We’re keeping it direct and to the point this time round, not too much in the way of reading material (from the worldy wordsmith Strictly Kev, as always)… but it’s about the tunes, you all shout! Good show, as DK’s back [...]
Boris, BosBos - Ambience
Japanese group BORIS are as eclectic as they come. Listen to any one of the albums from their extensive back catalogue and you’ll often find it quite different to the last; drone, metal, psychedelic, noise, sludge… something for everyone, you might say. One area of sound that BORIS really do excel at is the more [...]
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 [...]

(Introduction courtesy of Strictly Kev) For this week’s vintage session we turn the tables over to Solid Steel’s US ambassador: King Megatrip. For those who don’t know, Megatrip has been first a fan, then a show archivist, amassing possibly the world’s biggest collection of past Solid Steels. He has also had guest mixes featured [...]
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: ‘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 [...]
