« Mixtapes » Solid Steel Radio Show: The Leisure Allstars & Strictly Kev #1
The Leisure Allstars & Strictly Kev
Those party starting baddest of boys, Leisure Allstars, drop yet another mighty fine mixtape. It’s their usual self assured mix of bass heavy beats and dutty riddims that are sure to nice up just about any dance. Tom Central, Seiji and Grand Puba are just some of the tasty ingredients.
Strictly Kev furnishes us with a special Brian Eno-themed mix this week - More Volts: The Funky Eno. Most people think of Roxy Music, Bowie, Ambient, Talking Heads, U2 and errrr Coldplay when they think of 'the Bean' but he's turned out some seriously funk-fuelled pieces in his time. Here's an hour from across his career including collaborations with David Byrne, Talking Heads and the Grid, as well as the man himself of course.

Solid Steel Radio Show
This week it's party sets all round, starting with Parker and a mix to get your feet moving in the right direction. Ed Solo, Foreign Beggars and Sub Focus all share the dance floor with bona fide classics from Junk Yard Band, Aretha Franklin and Liquid Liquid. There's also tracks from the man himself and a cheeky remix here and there.
Ruckus Roboticus hits the 4 to the floor button in hour 2 as he starts a tour of the UK. You can catch him up and down the country and hear tracks in his set from the likes of Jesse Rose, Fake Blood, 2000F & Jkamata and of course mr Roboticus himself.
