Tracks & Remixes

Nathan Solo is a musician and graphic designer hailing from Prague’s warehouse techno scene, with musical roots stretching back as far as 2013 to the legendary Polygon events, and with a hand in the graphic design of lauded XYZ and Onyx events. Now based in Lausanne, Switzerland, Solo works as a graphic designer whilst pursuing his various musical avenues.

After a smattering of releases through the esteemed XYZ and Polygon imprints from Prague and a recent spate of self-released works through his artist Bandcamp page throughout 2020, Solo now presents ‘Ministry of Anxiety’, an album marking the culmination and final project of his Bachelor of Arts degree at Prague’s UMPRUM Arts University.

Borne from his extensive experience as a live hardware performer, ‘Ministry of Anxiety’ stands as Solo’s most complete artistic work to date. Typically characterised by striking a form of conversation with his mechanical instrument companions, over the years Solo has honed an evolving and non-linear dialogue that sees a reshaping of sound, denoting a certain creative flair somewhat scarce in the world of hardware live sets.

This much translates directly into all aspects of ‘Ministry of Anxiety’: in the shifting focus of genre from floor techno to washes of ambient, and in the detail and instrumentation of the music itself, his acceptance of trial and potential failure grants consistent results of success, thus giving his music an inherently human quality — a trait echoed in the title, which betrays an honest fragility relating to his experience living as an economic migrant in Switzerland, dealing with the throes of modern anxiety in the grips of hypercapitalism.

‘Ministry of Anxiety’ succeeds in a greater capacity than a mere transcription of Solo’s sonic explorations and thought patterns, though. Merging his twin loves of music and graphic design, the album is twinned with a visual counterpart that completes the picture: a hand-crafted typeface formed of a dot-matrix-style font that deforms and contorts into new shapes and structures in time with key sonic landmarks of the music. Presented in a continuous live stream at www.nathansolo.com, the development of these videos is as significant to the album as the music.

This innovation from Solo marks the completion of his continuous dialogue with his machines. Blunt facts about the tracks (BPM, key, running time) are presented in the typeface and twist themselves to the developing music, creating an ever-changing relay of information from Solo to his instruments, and onto the visual display, in a coherent language colliding at the juncture of binary and analogue.

Ministry of Anxiety

Mixes

Nathan Solo is music producer, live act, and DJ. Coming from Prague warehouse techno scene. Active over nine years in underground techno, electro, ambient and similar genres of electronic music. Analog and digital.

He started his musical journey in 2013 as a member of live act duo Binar, that was closely related to Polygon - Prague warehouse techno movement. During that time he meet many influential artists that deeply affected his music taste and inspired his own productions.
Producers like Kangding Ray, Vril, Sleeparchive, or Karenn might not seem too close to Nathan’s music but their imprint is noticeable in some parts of Nathan’s work.

His studio recordings are thoroughly researched works of precision with a little dose of experiment. When playing music live, however, he works with trial and error attitude. Nathan is researching what the machines want to say and creating man machine dialogue. Live jam or hardware improvisation one would say. His live music is an eclectic mix of moods and styles, from deep melancholic ambient textures to broken electronic music, from minimalistic bleepy techno patterns to faster tempo bangers full of distorted sounds. Nathan works with layers, textures and walls of sound, that are blending together to become a self healing journey both for him and his audience.

Outside the music world, Nathan Solo goes by the name Matěj Moravec. His daytime job is graphic design. His influence on Prague music scene is not only sonic, but visual as well – he often provides visuals for various Prague based collectives. Most notably for the XYZ Project run by Oliver Torr or recent work on Endless Illusion new website and last release of the head of the label – Exhausted Modern. The career of a graphic designer was the key reason for him to move to Lausanne in 2017. Nathan currently lives and works there. 

Analog media lovers will certainly be interested in the cassette, which was released last summer on his own newly emerging label Solo Catalogue.

Those three tracks are about Nathan Solo's relationship with the current club scene and transcendental moments that happen there.

Loudness Meditator is about the moment when one is in the middle of the dance, deeply connected to the loud sounds as it feels like meditation.

Flash Memories is about those short flashbacks your brain gives you in times you need to focus on something completely else. Challenging distractions. Musical memories.

Corner Observer is a confession of an introvert's behaviour, as he sometimes just stays in the corner of the club and observes others enjoying the music. Thinking who they are, what they do and if they feel all the same thing at the moment.

For remixing, Nathan asked three friends of his that helped him in music even they don’t know. His “bro” Oliver Torr delivers a melancholic ambient version. Silhouette that brings Afterhours club mix and least but not last Citty that brings hypnotic techno version.

Thanks to Oliver for continuous advice for life as a musician.
Thanks to Silhouette for the time spent on track feedbacks.
Thanks to Citty for all the tips about gear and music production.

@euclio

Producing under Euclio moniker since his early dubstep years, Prague based architect by the time shaped his vibes to more club-oriented territories.., yet still forming both unusually structured and (thus) strangely catchy environment and beat patterns..
But where to move when there are no dancefloors at all?

His addition Cyno is likely taking place at voluntarily dissociated living rooms, outputting undetermined schizoid of intensions to dance, but in mostly isolated spaces.. experiencing lonely happiness and moments of introversion. Like a look onto smile and grin of the presence, with the black coloured lipstick on.

While original versions feel weirdly charming and somehow pure and simple in its effectiveness - tight percussions are riding like razor edges over surrounding darken lights of the atmospheres, beats‘ clips and pieces swarming with bubbling and blopping synths..; remixers puts heavy-atmo lines and waves, observing sound material, worming you, or hypnotise.. But still, there’s enough space to drow or sink in..
