« Mixtapes » Solid Steel Radio Show: DJ Cheeba, Ghostbeard & DJ Grotesque #2
DJ Cheeba, Ghostbeard & DJ Grotesque
Cheeba returns with a mix more typical of his live DJ sets. Setting out on some re-edited trip hop from the likes of Depth Charge and Waxfactor leading through to more upbeat dance floor devastation from Diplo, Afrika Bambaataa and Peter Parker. From the Ninja catalogue, The Slew and Scruff jostle for space with King Cannibal and two edits from DJ Food's recent EPs. Typically layered and cut up this is Cheeba back on a short break from his video adventures.
Ghostbeard kicks off with a few 'old skool' jungle ragga tracks and when it's labels like Congo Natty, Ganja and Suburban, you know what to expect, plus tracks from Bongo Chilli, Marcus Visionary and Busy Signal. DJ Grotesque is back with more of a reggae dancehall feel, with artists Ghetto Priest, Jah Screechy alongside Poirier, Toddla T and Modeselector.

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.
