DK jumped on \nboard in 1997, quickly rising to become producer and in 2000 the show \nenjoyed a spell on BBC London. In 2004 J Mountain joined the ranks and \nthe show continued airing a diverse selection of guest mixes along with \nthe occasional special interview.  Solid Steel has spread it's wings, \ngoing on to broadcast in over 30 stations around the world, spawned a \nmix CD series and club nights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn today's ready-to-go world of mp3 players, internet streaming and \npodcasts it's easy to forget that the show wasn't always easy to come by\n and, for the first ten years, was only broadcast in and around London. \nFans of the show taped it on cassette and some of these found their way \nonto the web in the last decade, the equivalent of musical gold dust. \nThose days are now largely over but the Solid Steel podcast has already \nreached over a million downloads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe have dug deep and here we bring you a selection of shows, from the \nearliest find on cassette, (from '88 along with 'authentic' tape hiss), \nto DATs, videos and CDRs throughout the 90's and the odd mp3 right up to\n 2008. You'll hear straight studio mixes, interviews and a few full \nshows with jingles, ad breaks and the occasional bit of studio banter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is just a taste of what Solid Steel has been bringing you over the \nlast 2 decades and we'd like to thank all our listeners and guests for \nyour support and look forward to beaming the show straight into your \nheads in another 20 years times\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDisc content: over 40 hours of mp3s + a pdf booklet full of info about each show featured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eColdcut vs The Orb (31-12-91)\u003cbr\u003e\nColdcut meet Juan Atkins (02-12-88)\u003cbr\u003e\nDJ Food (PC) Solid Steel (09-05-99)\u003cbr\u003e\nFourtet, Bonobo, DJ Food \u0026amp; DK - Now, Listen' Tour Retrospective (07-01-02)\u003cbr\u003e\nColdcut - More Than An Alien Sphinx (11-93)\u003cbr\u003e\nColdcut - Return of Alien Sphinx  (1994)\u003cbr\u003e\nDJ Food (Kev) - War Is Not The Answer (10-02-03) + War Is Stupid (07-04-03)\u003cbr\u003e\nDJ Food (Kev) - Double Dee \u0026amp; Steinski - The Solid Steel interview\u003cbr\u003e\nDK - Solid Steel mix SSDK01 (2000)\u003cbr\u003e\nColdcut, DJ Food \u0026amp; DK - Last stand at the BBC (21-10-02)\u003cbr\u003e\nJ Mountain - Solid Steel (28-03-05)\u003cbr\u003e\nJ Rocc - Syndromes 2 (26-08-05)\u003cbr\u003e\nColdcut - Best of the K Mixes Pts 1 \u0026amp; 2 (13-12-90 \/ 92)\u003cbr\u003e\nColdcut - Planet of the Apes special (13-08-2001)\u003cbr\u003e\nKing Megatrip 'I Must Insist You Eat Steel' (2001-2008)\u003cbr\u003e\nDJ Food vs DJ Vadim (14-07-96)\u003cbr\u003e\nDJ Food (PC) - Via Josephine (15-06-97)\u003cbr\u003e\nColdcut meet Jean Jacques Perry (1997)\u003cbr\u003e\nColdcut -  Best of the K Mixes Pts 3 \u0026amp; 4 (1991\/93)\u003cbr\u003e\nDK - Solid Steel (2002)\u003cbr\u003e\nDJ Food (Kev) -  Strictly's Jazz Beatnik Hipster session (25-20-98)\u003cbr\u003e\nDJ Food (Kev) - Ken Nordine interview (2008 extended version)\u003cbr\u003e\nColdcut + PC - Solid Steel (28-02-93)\u003cbr\u003e\nColdcut + PC - Solid Wood (16-06-96)\u003cbr\u003e\nDJ Food \u0026amp; DK - Herbie Hancock interview (01-04-02)\u003cbr\u003e\nDK - David Axelrod interview (02-07-01)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":62903556604063,"sku":"SS20DVD","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/solid-steel-1988-2008-20-years-of-the-broadest-beats-main.jpg?v=1793913095","url":"https:\/\/merch.ninjatune.net\/products\/various-artists-solid-steel-1988-2008-20-years-of-the-broadest-beats","provider":"Ninja Tune","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
