Solid Steel Radio Show 7/9/2018 Hour 2 - Ital Tek Solid Steel(7th September) In Hour 1 we welcome back Ital Tek for his 3rd appearance on the show. The Planet Mu artist is celebrating the release of 'Bodied', (the follow up to his acclaimed 2016 album 'Hollowed') and is out now and available to buy here: https://italtek.bandcamp.com/album/bodied As on his last album, the sounds on 'Bodied' are highly designed, but this time barely a whisper of dance music remains. Instead it's built around acoustic elements and ghostly choral arrangements, refracted and transformed into atmospheric, alien forms which are given the time to settle and transform. Rhythm is used only as a tool to give his world a sense of dark, mechanical momentum. He had this to say about his mix; "When I'm deep into the process of making an album I enter a bit of a self imposed music vacuum. I tend not to listen to much else through a combination of wanting to keep my vision clear and also the fact of spending all day in the studio leaves me not really wanting to listen to much else. So when I come out of that phase it's always great to open the flood gates, seek out what I might have missed and get that spark back. This mix contains some of the music that has made an impact on me in the past few months since completing the record alongside a selection of tracks from my new album 'Bodied' ."
