DK, Mr Wyse


Part 1 + 2 - DK

Part 3 + 4 - Mr Wyse

Solid Steel in association with Serato (30th July) DK takes charge of hour 1 and straight in with two hot new tracks from Big Dada. New signing DELS with the excellent 'Shapeshift' (and a great video to match), followed by the grandaddy of UK hip hop, Roots Manuva with at track from his upcoming EP alongside Wrongtom. A nod to Melvin Bliss (RIP) and his well sampled track 'Synthetic substitution', before we up the pace with Flore and Total Science & S.P.Y. Chali 2na hits the button marked dubstep, plus more wobbles from Cakeboy and Toddla T remixed by Benga. Big Daddy Kane and PE represent the old skool (and a taste of the second hour) and it sounds like Fred Wesley's 'Blow your head' inspired an African version by 'Rob' on the superb Afro-Beat Airways compilation. Mount Kimbie, L VIS 1990, Sepalcure and Bunny on Acid bring the first hour to a lush close.

It's another epic session in hour 2 with Mr Wyse and a selection that could be the soundtrack to 'DK the early years' and all the other ageing B-Boys. Not much past the year 2000 here, but what you get is a snapshot of music from the 80's and 90's that clearly influenced Mr Wyse and is lovingly sliced together. Electro flavours from Davy dmx, Captain Rock and Aleem, reggae from Sister nancy, sound dimension and Wayne Smith and the soulful side is dealt with by Barbara Mason, Inner life and Soul II soul. Warp, Ninja Tune and Rephlex are present, as is Eno, Kenny Larkin and The Orb (and even a couple of guilty pleasure from Shakatak and Shalamar). Sit back and enjoy.
