Solid Steel Presents: Hexstatic
Listen & Learn
Ninja Tune
Here we have volume two of the Solid Steel series based
on the mix style of Coldcut's massive radio show for
a long time now. The first featured DJ Food and a battering
ram of hip-hop, reggae, drum & bass, classic soul.
you name it. Needless to say, Hexstatic is taking the
torch and running fast with the same mish-mash style
that he put together on CD players. Before the vinyl
purists get your fucking panties twisted, the new pioneer
decks do just as good as a 1200 and it looks like laptops
and software like Traktor could be in the running as
well with the exception of a little scratching. As evident
on this compilation, digital mixing allows for some
amazing edits and new versions so let's have a little
fun shall we? Just like the Solid Steel show, Hexstatic
and the whole Ninjaland loves those spoken word samples
between tracks and you'll get plenty of demonstrations,
sex sounds, classic and tired reggae chants on this
one. They use it all and it's the best mix you'll get
without picking out the tracks and producing the damn
thing yourself but I bet you can smack the tunes together
as good as Rob Hexstatic! The commercial release will
feature a new track and video so save your nickels.
