Ninja Tune feature with Mr Scruff, Toddla T, Raffertie and Fink, with Big Dada represented by Wiley & Offshore. there’s two tracks from Martyn on Brainfeeder, Zed Bias feature three times and there’s big club tracks from Joe Goddard, Julio Bashmore and Fourtet, plus there’s a few classics from Liquid Liquid, Radiohead and Har You Percussion group to close a visual feast

Goldie & DK – Solid Steel Radio Show (15th July 2011)

Goldie drops a mix to celebrate the release of his Fabric Live mix CD and it’s straight in with the soulful vibe of Marcus Intalex & ST Files and D Kay & Lee. then it’s back to ’94 with Dillinja and we continue in a 90′s vein with Boymerang, Doc Scott and classic Goldie, before closing with Rufige Kru

DK steps in to close the show with a look at recent and upcoming tracks from the vast Ninja Tune, Big Dada, Counter and Brainfeeder stable. tracks from the Samiyam and Wiley albums are followed by the Two Fingers mix of Amon Tobin‘s new single ‘Surge’. Mr Scruff is on ‘Wobble Control’ and Toddla T gets an Andrew Weatherall remix on ‘Watch Me Dance’ with Roots Manuva‘s version shortly after. then it’s forthcoming singles from Martyn, Raffertie and Offshore before ending on the accoustic sounds of Jono McCleery and Fink

DK – Cymatic Frequencies

the Solid Steel radio show regularly features Audio Visual mixes alongside the audio and this week DK gives you a treat for your eyes as well as your ears with his full on AV mix Cymatic Frequencies

DK (real name Darren Knott) is a DJ, music maker, radio producer and presenter, and a key component in the Ninja Tune live shows as well as one of the main driving forces behind the legendary Solid Steel radio show

his Cymatic Frequencies mix is packed full of musical highlights from 2010 and of course the odd classic thrown in for good measure, all with added visuals (mostly created for each track). what other radio show gives you a visual version of a mixtape? genius! amazing! and other adjectives that warrant exclamation points
