SOLID STEEL - THE BROADEST BEATS - COLDCUT & FRIENDS BROADCASTING LIVE Coldcut first started Solid Steel back in 1988 on the London pirate station Kiss FM. Jonathan More had been involved with the station since it's inception in 1985 hosting the Meltdown parties. Matt Black joined in early 1987 with his Mixmaster Dance Party. As Coldcut, they joined forces to present the fledgling Solid Steel. It soon became a regular event as listeners tuned in religiously to tape their weekly fix of audio madness.
