Solid Steel Radio Show 07/12/2018 Hour 2 - Coldcut by Ninja Tune

Solid Steel (7th December) We finish our week of celebrations for 30 Years of Solid Steel where it all started, with a mix by Detroit Techno legend Juan Atkins and Ninja Tune founders Coldcut. Juan Atkins was the guest on the first Solid Steel show in December 1988 with and you can also hear that mix and interview by Coldcut at http://solidsteel.net/broadcasts/916

Recalling his experience appearing on pirate radio station Kiss FM, Juan told us: “I remember doing the show with Coldcut in 1988 from someone’s apartment, like on the 9th floor or so in what seemed to be a huge apartment building. I was amazed by all of the pirate radio stations in London that were introducing the UK to all the new music, music styles, and genres. We had nothing like that in the USA. Pirate radio stations in the UK were responsible for this music making it into the charts as well”

“Interviewing Juan Atkins was a buzz” recalls Matt Black from Coldcut. “Not only for the fact I had never interviewed anyone before, let alone a don of his calibre. I was a fan of his work as one of the Belville 3 (Atkins, May, Saunderson), but also earlier as Cybertron, whose Kraftwerk-meets-hiphop-electro excursions had reached and rocked us in the UK early 80s with his space-out sound. I relished the opportunity to get a direct line on the origins of electro and techno from key originator Mr Atkins, and also found out some of his thoughts on the birthplace of much music - Detroit. He expressed wonder at being on pirate station Kiss and how the UK's pirate radio supported new music and DJ culture. Juan is a beautiful guy and I well remember his soulful natural charisma and down to earthness. His DNA runs prolifically through modern music.”
