Solid Steel - 20th Anniversary Special @ The End, London, 6th Nov

[IMG]http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f328/loxtok/Flyer20thweb2.jpg[/IMG]

Well blow me down. The venerable institution which is Solid Steel is twenty years old. Not only can it vote, it can nearly get into nightclubs.

Started by Coldcut as one of the best shows on the then-innovative pirate KISS FM, Solid Steel has always been about the finest, most surprising, most eclectic and all-round wonderous mixing. DJing as a kind of curation, as choreography, as art. As fun. The spirit of the radio show (run to this very day by the mighty DK) has also led to a series of critically-acclaimed and rather wonderful mix CDs. We’d call it a brand, or a lifestyle, if that didn’t cheapen it a bit.

So, anyway, to cut to the chase, to celebrate this momentous birthday, Ninja Tune move into the End for a night of everything you should expect from Solid Steel. Only more. The line-up includes one half of Coldcut (the sensei Jon More), DJ Food and DK with an example of their legendary 4 deck sets, Hexstatic with the musical madness, Bonobo and World DMC champion DJ Kentaro. All this and some very special Solid guests. Groovy…

A great soundsystem, a sprung floor and some of the finest DJs you’ll come across. It’ll be more than Solid. It’ll be sensational…

6th November @ The End, 18 West Central St, London.
