Solo just did a spectacular gig in Malmö and he also just finished the new EP “Minimood/Rawmania” which was released by everyone’s favorite new label Sound Pellegrino. BeatauCue popped up out of nowhere a while back and here they add a new twist to the midget house soundings of the b-side “Rawmania” with more of a club banging feeling.
A bit weary from last nights Smuts party at Babel where Solo flexed his skills and made the Malmö crowd dance like there was no tomorrow.
Anyway, just yesterday we gave you the Harvard Bass remix of new single “Set Me Free” from Brooklyn bass guru Drop The Lime and today we’e able to hand you the remix from the Zombie Disco Squad boys. Whilst the original is a big room monster complete with house diva vocals from new talent Carrie Wilds (she’ll also be featured on the Crookers record), the Zombies turn it down a notch for more of that funky techhousey sound.
Tomorrow night sees the third edition of Smuts, the club night we run together with the WooBanger boys at Babel here in Malmö. Last time we had Bok Bok and Spoek who both did a mighty fine job of trying to turn the house upside down, wednesday sees Italian gone Londoner Solo try to outdo them with his midget house sound. This remix of dynamic Milan duo Crookers track “Put Your Hands On Me” (released on Southern Fried Records a while ago) is his first offical one and for this occasion he decided to just use the accapella, transforming the track into a pure banger which has been a highlight in our sets lately.
Solo has been hard at work in the studio lately not just producing his own tracks or remixes but also producing beats. In the near future, we can expect an EP for Sound Pellegrino + a remix for Wiley and also remixes for some bigger names across the pond.
Midget house pioneer Solo will be playing at the Dance On Glass party tomorrow night (Friday October 9th). Dance On Glass is is a monthly party at The Westbury in London and Solo made a mix to promote the event. If you’re in London we suggest you go to this since he will whip up a frenzy on the dancefloor.
Italian born but of course London based (like Solo, Riva Starr et al) producer His Majesty Andre gives us a jacking French housey sounding remix of the Burns track “In My Eyes” (taken off the recently released Burns “Teknique” EP.
The long awaited and sensational “Belly Dance” EP release from our Swiss buddies in Round Table Knights has finally dropped on Deadfish Audio. If you like the groovy stuff put out by the likes of Sound Pellegrino, Solo, Mowgli, Riva Starr etc. then you’re bound to enjoy this EP. Here’s an enticing minimix of all the tracks, make sure to go get the full release ASAP.
Italian born but London based producer (where he works with Mowgli, Zombie Disco Squad etc) Solo sent over his latest mix which is filled with some of that midget house goodness. Cracking stuff as always. You should expect big things from him this year with his own work + remixes for among others Jahcoozi, Crookers and Depeche Mode.
After posting the superb Raph summer mix last week, we can now give you a break off track from the mix which is his very own “Africa” remix of the track “Tivoli” by Swedish superstar dj/producer Steve Angello.
“2009. RAPH, the choosen one, the sacred child from Liege’s Tibet, appeared. The 21 years-old boy already earned the trust and respect of his elders the great sages from Forma.T and Partyharders, through which he enchained the parties alongside masters like the great Laidback Luke or also the Atlanta rap dealer lover Brodinski. Springtime he released 2 mixtapes which were quickly approved by Solo, Riva Starr, Harvard Bass but also Teki Latex, the guru of Sound Pellegrino, small-brother label of Institubes. There are many stories that show his potential and his multiple influences…Keep an eye on this young disciple before he exceeds his masters. (original french version by Teki Latex)”
The Italian producer Solo now resides in London where he churns out top of the line remixes that we and alot of others enjoy immensely. This remix of new Maps single “I Dream Of Crystal” (first one off the album “Turning The Mind” which will be out September 28th) continues in that tradition and mark our words, Solo will be one producer to watch out for. On this remix he gives us that funky tropical techhouse that will set dancefloors ablaze in no time.
Solo is doing his Fabric debut next weekend in the the “Batty Bass” room and he celebrate with a mix!
Solos got two massive tracks out at the moment. First his own “The Big Stef” with remixes from Nat Self (Zombie Disco Squad) and Riva Starr and second a remix of DJ Gregory and Gregor Saltos track “Con Alegria”. There is a big chance that both those tracks will be in our set this week. Buy both of them over at Beatport! There are preview videos for both tracks after the jump as well as a tracklist for the mix!
