Lest you think he’s only listening to leathered-up industrial music these days, Trevor Jackson recently cut a very special megamix for Ninja Tune’s Solid Steel series, which he described as follows…
“This mix consists of electro/freestyle/Miami bass classics & bonus beat edits by the likes of Chep Nunez, Omar Santana & the latin rascals, how they did what they did with just tape, a reel 2 reel & a razor blade still defies belief and continues to inspire me as much as it did when I first heard their work in the mid ’80s.
There is no tracklisting & won’t be because I come from a generation when Shazam. Discogs, eBay & Google didn’t exist, when I first heard something on the radio in a club or a mixtape it often took me many months of desperate searching to find out what it was, I’m more than happy to inflict this highly satisfying laborious experience upon you, you’ll appreciate it in the long run.”
