The collaboration between Alex Blackstock and Dan Sherman was born out of salty, sultry Playa dust. Both resident DJs in San Francisco, and best friends to boot, it wasn't until something happened over that silt-covered mixer in the burning desert that their styles coalesced into unforgettable sunrise sessions, and delicate afternoons on the Esplanade. 

Mixed live on 1200s after a few intense late nights of brainstorming and storyboarding, this set is the debut release of Alex and Dan's collaborative identity. Playing as the symbiotic duo Solomon & Sadao, we want to share some of that dusty magic with the Desert Hearts community. If you enjoy what you hear, give us a LIKE to help us win an opportunity to do what we love and play out some positive vibes at this fall's festival.

Alex and Dan are co-founders of Concept (https://www.facebook.com/ConceptSF), an experiment in musical communication, and Sui Generis, an intimate underground event series in San Francisco that brings electronic music artists who've never been to San Francisco, to San Francisco (first Lake People, then Canson, next, on Halloween, DoubtingThomas).  

Lots and lots of love and heartfelt thanks to all of you. See you in the desert!
