Hexstatic: Distorted Minds

Hexstatic: Ninja Tune

Hexstatic: Solid Reel (51 min)

Hexstatic - Solid Reel


Solid Steel 27th March 2009 Hexstatic celebrate 20 years of the 'Solid Steel' radio show by taking it to a new dimension in the form of the video podcast. Here, Hexstatic mix up some of their favorite tunes as only they know how, in a special video mix, inspired by the Solid Steel rules,..."there are no rules".Everything from turntablism to drum and bass, thru techno and breakbeats to more chilled vibes are thrown into this special blend, and all accompanied by the videos to make the experience all the greater. Stepping away from the manic sample mania that typifies some of Hexstatic's live shows, this first episode is more like a DJ mix where they want you to savor the music and work of the directors who created these videos. But don't be fooled, you still get specially edited intro's, funny bits, and some exclusive mixes and edits from Hexstatic,....of course. So sit back, relax (well, unless you're on the bus) and enjoy this new dimension of the Solid Steel experience,..ladies and gentlemen, our feature presentation,...

Amy Winehouse: Rehab

Now I'm not really a fan of standard pop music/culture but this fly bird does sing a different tune. She breaks those boundaries and happened to become famous in teeny bopper circles. So don't judge me cause I think this album if fuc#ing phenomenal! So dig it.

Aphex Twin: Come to Daddy

By far one of the most FU#$ED UP videos I've ever seen. The Aphex Twin has been long known to be strange, unique and his own genre. Here he teams up with legendary director Chris Cunningham to make a dark and grimy surreal world with midgets that all have the face of Richard D. James (aka Aphex Twin).

Music video

The accompanying music video (released in October 1997) was directed by Chris Cunningham and filmed on the same council estate where Stanley Kubrick shot many scenes in A Clockwork Orange.[1]. The scene is shot around Tavy Bridge Shopping centre, Thamesmead , which is now being knocked down[when?]. Many of the Dark underground car parking is now gone.

The video opens with an old woman walking a dog in a grimy, industrial setting. The dog urinates on an abandoned television lying on the sidewalk, causing it to sputter unexpectedly into life. This unleashes a poltergeist from the set, accompanied by a set of small children (all which bear the face of Richard D. James), that constitute the inhabitants of the abandoned buildings. The children go around wreaking havoc, such as trashing an alley, and chasing a man into his car.

At one point, the monster (played by Al Stokes) is birthed out of the television and screams in the old woman's face. After this, he gathers the children around him in a manner reminiscent of a scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.[2]

The acclaimed music video was voted 17th Greatest Music Video Ever by Q Magazine Readers, and one of the 100 Greatest Scary Moments by E4 viewers.
