Coldcut Solid Steel: Saturday September 22, 2018

In Hour 1 we're joined by San Proper who has released music on Rush Hour, Dekmantel, Perlon, Church and many others.  The music he makes is always idiosyncratic from his earliest 12”s right up to his debut album. He had this to say about his mix;
"Being schooled by crazy groundbreaking artists like Aphex Twin, Mille Plateau and Jeff Mills in the mid 90s, the music by Coldcut, Dj Food, Vadim and Dj Krush actually felt more inspirational, because of the Funk, Triphop & B-boy-Jazz which was preserved by Ninja Tune, therefore it is more than a sentimental honor to boomerang it with a mix for Solid Steel. This right here, my mix, is the after-effect of a mid-90s-Youngblood-Dj trying to put his foot down. Proud to be able to work this mix 20 years later... I am a Ninja Toon.
One love. San."


In Hour 2 it's Tin Man who is of Finnish descent, but born and raised in California and now has a home in Vienna, a town perfectly suited to his deep and moody productions. TIN MAN has acclaimed releases on the Finnish record label Sähkö / Keys of Life, Cheap Records from Vienna, and continues with new releases on his own imprint, Global A . While TIN MAN's output is diverse in its references, certain underpinnings can be heard throughout. There is always a strong reference to Acid House music, as well as a strong reference to Ambient and Electronic Pop music from the past 30 years. He told us;
"Here is my mix. Its on the acid tripping side of deep techno with some soft bookends.”
