Solid Steel Show 2011-04-22 Malachai and DK & Albert

“This week we have a mix from Bristol residents Malachai with their ‘Herbal Elixir’ mixtape. With an album out on Domino, we get to hear a selection of their tracks and plenty more that have influenced the duo. Erykah Badu, J Dilla and Gonjasufi all feature alongside music from ESG, Gary Numan and the sublime ‘Soul Vibration’ by Dorothy Ashby. DK begins proceedings in hour 2 with some current House grooves, although a couple lean more towards 1988, in a good way. Julio Bashmore is back with another stormer, Wiley is remixed by Toddska, there’s unreleased music from HaHaHa and we finish with NDV on the excellent Botanika label.
Albert continues the second hour in a dubstep vein, more textured beats than gut wrenching bass. We hear more tracks from his EP on Studio Rockers that has already had spins on the show, plus tracks from Jack Sparrow, Subreachers and Root.”

FACT mix 241 by Kryptic Minds

“It’s a Bank Holiday, the sun’s out, the air is sweet (sort of). So what better time for one of the dankest, fiercest FACT mixes that you or we have ever encountered? Dankness and fierceness aside, Kryptic Minds’ FACT mix 241 is every bit as nuanced as their own productions, with a strong, confident narrative and a spacious sound design that conspire together give it a near-cinematic quality. Listening to it, you can readily infer the kind of drum n’ bass influences that are central to Brett Bigden and Simon Shreeve’s dubstep vision: the lustrously darkside landscaping of Source Direct, Omni Trio, Photek, early Metalheadz and Reinforced. Urban music in the truest sense: inspired by, and made for, life in the city.”

Resident Advisor Exchange RA.EX029 with Blackdown

Words and beats with one of the preeminent chroniclers of UK bass music. Some think that writing and electronic music just don’t mix. It’s writers like Blackdown that emphatically disprove the point. As one of the most high-profile boosters of grime and dubstep in its earliest days, he helped to introduce personalities like Dizzee Rascal, Wiley and Burial to the wider world largely via his blog and the influential magazine Deuce. Nowadays Blackdown writes for bigger outlets, namely Pitchfork and NME, but his time is also now split between writing about the music he loves, and supporting it directly through his Keysound Recordings label, which has put out music from the likes of Skream, DVA and LV. That, and his own productions alongside partner-in-grime Dusk. But where did it all start electronic music-wise for Blackdown? Techno, of course. ”
