BosBos Blog gräbt regelmäßig Perlen der Solid Steel-Radioshow (Podcast) aus dem Hause Ninja Tune aus. Ganz großes Kino ist das zweistündige “Solid Steel Sound Museum” von Strictly Kev (DJ Food). Das lässt schon die (nach dem Klick einsehbare) genreumspanndende Tracklist erahnen.

[The Mix is] hosted by Ken Nordine as he takes us around the Solid Steel Sound Museum in my head. Imagine turning on the radio and every channel was playing Solid Steel from a different year, some stations bleeding through to others, but always in a good way. Keep up there at the back and no touching the exhibits… you get a quick peek and then it’s off again.

To illustrate the mix the image was taken at a place called ‘The Treasury’ in Johannesburg, South Africa. I took the fifteen images that make it up nearly ten years ago, the whole 5th floor of a warehouse was filled with records which Amon Tobin, Kid Koala, PC and myself got the chance to raid one afternoon back in ‘99. The other floors were filled with books, antiques and vintage recording gear, it was a truly daunting place and I doubt it’s still there. I found albums of African percussion alongside complete runs of KPM library records, all in pristine condition. There were side rooms with filing cabinets full of 78’s and 45s in boxes all over, just way too much to take in.
