Solid Steel Radio Show

Coldcut, Pepe Deluxe

Solid Steel in association with Serato (27th January) Coldcut step back into the hot seat this week, straight in with heavy beats with an Eastern twist from Beats Antique, before stepping up the pace with DJ Rashad and Ital Tek on a mutant footwork tip. We delve deeper with music from U Roy, Muddy Waters and Rocky & The Riddlers and their classic West Coast garage sound. Afro beat comes courtesy of Future Warriors and more from the electronic end with Om Unit, Objekt and Dark Sky, wrapping up a tidy first hour.

In hour 2 it's the return of Pepe Deluxe with a mix celebrating the release of his highly anticipated 'Queen of the wave' album, out on the 30th January. It's a concept album,with the usual Pepe elements of late 60's vinyl influenced sound, plus weird instruments and equipment, including The Great Stalacpipe Organ (the largest instrument in the world).

His mix is full of inspirations ranging from the Brit heavy rock of Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden, to pseudo-classical music, some 60's pop and a little garage rock, plus we get a taste of the new album and an exclusive spin of a Husky Rescue remix for Pepe Deluxe.
