A decade before the Solid Steel mixes featuring modern masters like Amon Tobin, Herbaliser, DJ Kentaro became some of the most listened-to podcasts and downloads around, a little radio show on London’s KISS FM began building clout for an up and coming sound. While many of the individual shows were lost with now-obsolete formats, Solid Steel 1998-2008 : 20 Years of the Broadest Beats gives us what we couldn’t possibly compile ourselves. The disc contains shows featuring staples like DK and Coldcut, as well as interviews with the likes of Jean Jacques Perrey and Steinski & Double Dee. Check it out and hear what we with radio was still like.
