Fans of Mr Scruff have been waiting a long time for this and now it’s finally here, his first ever commercially available mix CD. You’ll be even more pleased to know that more are already planned for release; the Solid Steel series normally only puts out one-offs but seeing as Mr Scruff’s DJ sets tend to average between 5 and 6 hours, the good folks at Ninja Tune thought it unfair to limit him to just one CD and have given him his own mini-series.
Keep It Solid Steel Part 1 blends reggae, hip hop, fuck and soul, creating a chilled out vibe perfect for lazy days and late nights.
This is also one for all you rare track hunters out there. It’s packed so full of hard to find stuff that Ninja Tune have seen fit to put out a completely unmixed vinyl version too.
So, he’s started the series well and will be keeping fans and DJ’s alike in blissed-out rapture. I (and I’m sure you) can’t wait to see where he takes us with part 2.
