PIANOMAN is a pioneering force in UK dance music with over three decades of production expertise spanning the entire evolution of British club culture. Operating under multiple aliases including Bassline Bangerz and Sub Bass Records (tagline: "Feel The Frequency"), he's carved out a distinctive sound that bridges the golden era of rave with cutting-edge 2026 production.
Career Highlights
With roots stretching back to 1991, PIANOMAN has achieved commercial success while maintaining underground credibility - a rare balance in electronic music. His breakthrough hit "Blurred" reached the UK Top 10, establishing him as a crossover talent capable of dominating both club floors and radio playlists. Follow-up anthem "Cast A Spell" cemented his reputation for crafting infectious, festival-ready garage anthems.
His production credits span collaborations with major labels including Armada Music, Universal Music, and Storm Music, demonstrating his ability to deliver at the highest industry level while staying true to his Northern England roots.
Sound & Style
PIANOMAN specializes in multiple electronic subgenres with authentic mastery:

UK Garage & Bassline House - Skippy two-step rhythms with sub-heavy basslines
Piano House - Classic diva vocals meets surgical modern production
Hard Donk/Bounce - Northern powerhouse energy for maximum crowd reaction
Breakbeat & Techno - Driving, relentless dancefloor weapons

His production philosophy centers on authentic underground aesthetics married to 2026 festival-ready loudness. Every track receives surgical EQ treatment, maximum LUFS mastering, and meticulous attention to kick-locked vocal timing - especially on his signature UK garage productions featuring soulful R&B-influenced vocals.
Legacy & Influence
Drawing from the classic house pioneers of the 90s and modern garage innovators of today, PIANOMAN synthesizes decades of UK dance history into forward-thinking club anthems. His work references the glory days of legendary UK house labels while pushing the sound into TikTok-era viral territory.
Operating from the UK's electronic music heartland - with deep ties to Bradford, Leeds, Sheffield, and Manchester - PIANOMAN continues to champion Northern England's vital contribution to global dance culture.
Current Focus
In 2026, PIANOMAN is focused on UK garage vocal anthems designed for both underground club credibility and mainstream crossover potential. His recent releases including "Shine For You," "Move Ya Bum Bum," and "Best Mistake" showcase his evolution toward emotionally resonant, lyrically sophisticated dance music that connects with both old-school garage heads and the TikTok generation.

SolarTrak aka Ian McGonagle. House Music
Producer, Remixer & Dj from Essex, England.

Aliases: DJ Makka, HouseFly, FatFly, NUCL3U5

Coming from a musical family background his dad was always a keen guitarist
and his older brother was in many bands so at first Ian headed naturally in the
direction of band music learning to play the guitar from the early age of 12. It
wasn’t until a few years later around the age of 18 when he met his first dj friend
and decided he wanted to learn the art of dj’ing. After picking it up relatively
quickly he soon swapped his Fender Stratocaster guitar for his first set of
turntables.

He started off buying some early 90’s house records and quickly fell in love with
the new 2 step uk garage sound that was starting to evolve and here his first alias
DJ Makka was born.
After mixing in his bedroom with friends it wasn’t long before he was approached
through a friend by the boss of Essex Pirate radio station Force Fm and here he
started his radio journey learning to host and dj his own weekly show.
Coming from a musically creative background it was always inevitable that
eventually Ian would turn his hand to producing and in 2004 he released his first
ever vinyl release a UK Garage rework of a house classic Isha D - Stay. Having no
real contacts in the scene he released and distributed the track himself selling
over 700 copies.

In 2010 after playing on various other pirate radio stations and clubs across
London he returned to the station that it all started (Force Fm) but this time under
new alias HouseFly.
After mixing and producing Uk Garage for 12 years he decided he wanted to
return to where it all started with house music and started his new show on Force
Fm playing Electro & Progressive house.
In 2013 whilst dj’ing at The World Body Painting Festival with friends, his sound
was to evolve yet again. After doing some back to back sets with longtime friend
Stevie D playing Deep house Ian decided this was the music he wanted to
produce and once returning to the uk himself and Stevie D teamed and FatFly was
born.

After 3 years of working together in clubs, various festivals and a weekly radio
show & podcast FatFly had releases on various record labels across the world but
both Ian & Stevie mutually decided they wanted to go in different directions.

In 2016 SolarTrak was born and quickly after The Guest House Podcast was
created giving SolarTrak the platform to showcase his own music as well as
playing music from his musical idols and influences.
SolarTrak has now had releases on labels such as Notting Hill Records, Where
The Hearts is (Brooklyn USA), Songspire Records (Netherlands), Sexy Trash
Records (United Kingdom), Champion Records (London UK), Let There Be House
Records Plus many more.


In 2021 SolarTrak joined local Essex DAB Radio Station BKR Essex but in
February 2022 BKR Essex ceased broadcasting. He then took his New Horizons
show to Shine 879 DAB and you can now listen to him on there every Friday 12-
2pm on the Essex, North & East London & Southern Ireland DAB Platform or at www.shinedab.com.

In 2024 SolarTrak joined forces with Stuart J (The Acid Brothers) and formed their alias NUCL3U5.Producing Rave - Hardcore & Jungle Influenced House Music.

Having been bought up listening to the sound of the Pirate radio stations and ships Paul developed a deep love of Jazz Funk & Soul and all things Dance !
One of his earliest inspirations was watching and listening to Dj Froggy at various venues throughout London and the home counties who reputedly was one of the first to bring the art of mixing to the UK. Some years later and by chance he was at a birthday party where the Dj didn't turn up. He was asked if he could play instead and has never looked back. 
After spending many years and hours gigging he found " Radio " and has been hooked ever since. Having previous shows on Blitzkids Radio DAB and Injection radio. These days you'll find him on the airwaves at www.streetsoundsradio.com, each and every Sunday 4-6pm, and producing his own podcasts....
