16.05.08Solid Steel radio show - Strictly Kev & DJ Hickory Dickory Doc on Acid!
This week (16th May) Solid Steel features Strictly Kev's quickfire selection from the recent Ninja Tune "You Don't Know" compilation entitled 1000 Masks as he highlights the treats on the album for those of you with ADD who can't make it through the 3 CDs. Classics and freshness from Ninja, Big Dada and Counter!! The guest mix this week comes courtesy of Australia's DJ Hickory Dickory Doc, making his third guest appearance with his homage to Albert Hoffman, the Swiss scientist who synthesized LSD. It's been a year in the making but DJHDD was spurred on to finish it after hearing of his death recently. Sounding like the b*stard offspring of the KLF & the Orb, it is the ambient & sound representation of what it might be like tripping. Microdot anyone?
