Kormac, the man who has blown up the whole genre of ‘electro swing’ did the sensible thing and reeled in friends Cheeba and Yoda to join him on this track from his debut album for a ‘Scratch Party’ Details of where to buy the track and the very fine album can be found here
In the second hour Cheeba dons his smoking jacket and sherlock pipe for a trip through some blissed out jazz and soul as sampled by Mos def. Recorded live while having a good sit down this is a dramatic change for Cheeba, letting the tracks play in in their full glory with some added words […]

This mix was made to mark the passing of 20 years since Solid Steel first went on air and was first broadcast in January 2009
This was the first Cheeba mix for Solid Steel and went on to be runner up in the Mix of The Year 2007. This mix marked the arrival of Serato Scratch live and finally opened up possibities that were always limited by recording mixes from vinyl.
Originally broadcast on Solid Steel in April 2008 this mix went on to be voted by listeners as ‘Mix of The Year’ fending off many of the world’s best such as; Z-Trip, DJ Craze and Fourtet amoung many others
“An early contender for Mix of The Year, Cheeba’s attention to musical detail is as meticulous as his cuts, he leaves no stone or style unturned in his search” – DJ Food
This mix was created over two days in a kitchen in Devon. Using Minidisk to record, records piled in order out of their sleeves, some serious sticker dropping and some of the fastest record changes ever seen by a toaster and kettle. ‘What The Funk’ isn’t really a funk mix but does get confusing in places so you can imagine the original, unsensored, title.
Sadly, there is currently no tracklist for this one but artists include; Skitz, Aspects, The Flying Pickets, El-P, Mr Scruff, Freestyle Fellowship, Greyboy and James Brown among others.
This mix was originally part of a 3 track CD which also included a minimix and a track with Blagpuss. It was recorded live at one of the very first apperances for DOP in Bristol way back when.
