“Solid Steel in association with Serato (17th September) With the 20th Anniversary of Ninja Tune in full swing, DK steps into the vaults at Ninja HQ to dig out just some of the highlights over the years. This set forms part of the 4 deck AV show he’s performing with DJ Food at the Ninja Tune XX nights around the world, so the focus is on tracks that have rocked the clubs over the years, from the early days at Stealth to the more recent Solid Steel nights.
Plenty of classics from Coldcut, DJ Food, Amon Tobin and Mr Scruff, whilst Big Dada is well represented by Roots Manuva, Ty, Spank Rock and Thunderheist, plus there’s a few sneaky tasters from the Ninja Tune XX box set with Jammer, Diplo, United States of Audio and Seiji turning out an excellent remix of Timber.
In hour 2 we are treated to an interview with Coldcut and Ninja Tune label manager Peter Quicke. We learn how it all started, the history behind the Ninja logo, the legendary club night ‘Stealth’ and we get to hear some of their favourite tracks from the extensive catalogue, plus a look forward to what’s coming up for Ninja Tune in the future.
DK brings the show to a close with more highlights from the archive, including The Crow by DJ Food and the lush Flying Lotus mix of Andreya Triana – Lost where I belong.”
