21.11.08Solid Steel radio show - The Qemists & PC (Classic Edition)
Chalk & Cheese (21st November) The Qemists step up to the front this week and its all about D&B! A mix recorded a month or 3 back show casing some of the best of the scene at that moment in time. Chase & Status, Spor, Sub Focus, Brookes Brothers all get a look in as well as some well placed reworkings including Inner Party System and Rage Against The Machine. And of course some of The Qemists very own style of bone-shakers feature. Check the current single Lost Weekend featuring rock legend Mike Patton and watch this space for the next offering featuring Wiley. 2009 belongs to The Qemists! We dip into the dusty archives once again for a vintage edition for the second hour. This time round we're back in the mid to late 90's with a mix from PC from DJ Food, labeled 'African Steel' on the DAT, he mixes all manner of percussion together, both old and new, traditional and contemporary. Burundi beats and thumb piano collide with downtempo breaks and Photek on 33rpm instead of 45. The track list is unavailable, but expect a journey all over the globe, managing to be in several places all at once. Catch the second part featuring Strictly Kev's Dark Star Sci-Fi mix at BosBos.net.

If you haven't heard of this Toronto-Montreal duo, you're going to know a lot about them, through Big Dada.
