From Ninja Tune's Solid Steel radio show, this set was the second of my themed mixes broadcast back in 2003. The theme of this mix is scratching but rather than just cram a load of turntablist tracks into the mix, which, let's face it, would get pretty dull, I decided to get a little more creative...

"Awesome!" - Strictly Kev (DJ Food)

"F***ing brilliant!" - DK (Ninja Tune)
