"...instrumental experimentalism par excellence. Classy without unnecessary showiness, chilled out without faking the funk, it spreads its tapestry over two CDs, but your eyelids won't droop once. More therapeutic than a lifetime's supply of Prozac and Freudian analysis. Prescribe now." Calvin Harris, Mixmag on Steve Cobby's first album as The Solid Doctor, 'How About Some Ether?'.

"Sod the sculpted wombic interior of the modern luxury car, the second most comfortable place you'll have ever been is immersed in the amniotic aural fluids of 'Faustian Bargain', the ambient breakbeats of 'In The Offing' or in the sunny electro phonic jazz funk of 'Intranauts'." - DJ Magazine on 'Beats Means Highs', the second and equally highly-lauded release from The Doctor.

And now for the yearned-for third album release, 'A New Gladstone Bag'. After being struck-off for 17 years, The Solid Doctor has re-registered, hooked up to your heart-monitor - and is now prepping you for impeccable sonic surgery.

DJs supporting The Solid Doctor include DJ/Radio/Music Detective Daniel Peñacoba at Ibiza Global Radio. Steel Tiger releases have featured on BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music: Rob da Bank, Don Letts, Lauren Laverne, Stuart Maconie and Nemone's Electric Ladyland - US and European airplay includes KCRW, KEXP, Soma FM, Ibiza Global Radio and Radio One Prague.

Steve Cobby is a musician, composer, producer, and DJ - a co-founder (with Sim Lister) of Steel Tiger Records and member of the legendary Fila Brazillia, and The Cutler, J*S*T*A*R*S, Hey, Rube!, Peacecorps, Chieftain and the Heights of Abraham. His summer 2013 sets at the celebrated Garden Festival in Croatia were very well received.

Cobby's fantastically eclectic selection of remix credits range from Radiohead and Lamb to Busta Rhymes and Black Uhuru.

Steve provided the soundtrack for the Hull 'UK City of Culture 2017' bid film - and Kingston-Upon-Hull was announced as the winning City on 20 November 2013.

The album artwork was a gift from famed Scottish artist and fan Douglas McDougall.

Let's get on with the business of Steve Cobby's major contribution to downtempo funk in this country and leftfield dance music in general. He is one half of Fila Brazillia and one third of Heights of Abraham, which on their own should get him a knighthood. - DJ Magazine

The Solid Doctor's new music sounds great, 'Settlings Days' is already a fave, like a lot. One of the best tracks in 2013. Mucha clase!! - Daniel Peñacoba La Captura Del Sonido/Capture Of Sound Radio Show (Ibiza Global Radio)

Steve Cobby's also The Solid Doctor, his (inevitably) princely solo project of subtle beats and warm, ambient sound space. - DJ Magazine
