Solid Steel in association with Serato (3rd February)
Coldcut back again with the mixes featured in last night's show presented live on Strongroom.fm. Tune in every Thursday between 7-9pm UK Time for the presented version of this show. We kick off with a host of reggae stars taking turns over the "Joyride Riddim", before heading into classic jungle territory with Solution, SVDL and the familiar sounds of Junior Reid. Bambounou and Africa Hitech keep the tempo, with a their own twist on proceedings and set us up for a 'Back to the Nineties' set featuring Meat Beat Manifesto, Eptome of Hype, Utu and LFO.
Coldcut continue into hour 2 with hip hop from Eric B & Rakim, KRS 1 and a track off the new Wiley album Evolve Or Be Extinct. It's more reggae from Ward 21 and beats n wobbles from An-Ten-nae and PH Fat, before we welcome the guest mix from Slugabed. The Brighton based producer has already had a couple of releases on Ninja Tune, along with a limited White Label Rockin U which includes his Busta Rhymes "Dangerous" remix featured in his mix. We also get a taste of tracks from his forthcoming album alongside music from Dirg Gerner, DELS, Cameo and Russian synth classic from Zodiac.
Dave Sitek has just uploaded a track to his Soundcloud featuring DELS, DOOM and Jneiro Jarel, taken from a forthcoming Sitek mixtape - head over to Soundcloud to hear "Cockney Rhyme and Slang" now.
