Solid Steel 18.02.2011 o/

"Solid Steel in association with Serato (18th February) This week Redrum starts the show with his Boomtape mix. The Barcelona based French DJ kicks off with funky breaks courtesy of Ali B and gets progressively tougher with Vent and Vibesquad. We continue with music from Wiley, Redlight and Poirier, plus the bass heavy Doorly remix of the Scruff classic 'Get a move on'. This is spiced with different latino, oriental and balkan flavours throughout, before ending on a dubstep note.

In hour 2 Strictly Kev revisits hip hop from 1989 having been asked to play at Classic Material, a night run by Chris Read (whose mix we recently featured). Each month the night celebrates a year from Hip Hop’s past. It was the turn of 1989 which was a special year, rich in musical delights with the beginnings of gangster rap taking over Hip Hop and the emergence of De La Soul’s Daisy Age with their incredible ‘3 Feet High & Rising’ album. All this plus the Beastie Boys, Gang Starr, Jungle Brothers and the excellent 'Calm down' by Most Wanted. " - solidsteel.ninjatune.net
