Solid Steel Radio Show


DJ Cheeba, Ghostbeard & DJ Grotesque


Part 1 + 2 - DJ Cheeba

Part 3 + 4 - Ghostbeard & DJ Grotesque

Solid Steel in association with Serato (5th February) 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 hour 2 with a few old skool jungle ragga tracks and when it's labels like Congo Natty, Ganja, 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

DJ Food & DK present - Now, Look & Listen



DJ Food & DK showcase their AV mix that they perform live on 4 decks and 3 mixers. Using Serato's Video-SL plug-in for Scratch Live, they mix, scratch and blend the sound AND vision for each track they play.

Months were spent creating videos for each piece of music, either using the original source material or, in most cases sampling footage to create a new video entirely. Described as 'Video Turntablism', it has become a way for Food & DK to visualize their already legendary DJ sets.

As usual, it's the diverse mix of music that they love and are known for, taking in current club floor fillers, but also making room for classic tracks. You can now marvel not only at their musical tastes, but also the visual side as well.
