Vintage Solid Steel: ‘Now, Listen’ Tour Retrospective

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 [...]
Autechre - Quaristice Preview
Dastardly electronic duo Autechre have returned from the future with Quaristice, their latest album for Warp Records. Based on the sounds presented here, Autechre have fitted their new work somewhere between the likes of Tri Repetae (1995) and later (and some might say less accessible) works such as Confield (2001) and their last studio album, [...]

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 [...]
Rhettmatic - Bake & Bits (Stones Throw)
Stones Throw podcast time. Looks like it’s the last one for 2007, and what better way to go out than to recruit one of the founding fathers of the Beat Junkie crew, Rettmatic, to go nuts with the doughnuts. Not so much a round-up of Stones Throw’s blistering releases from the past year, instead podcast [...]

In most cases, it’s usually linked to the impending close of a recording label contract, when a lazily packaged ‘greatest hits’ compilation falls into place in the absence of any new material.
