This spring I have been on a deep dive into Future Disco. It is a corner of the musical world that I knew little about a few months ago. Now it seems to be at the epicentre of my creative process. Here is a sample of a set I recently performed with some of the favourite tracks I have been jamming to.

My journey with mixing truly began at 14, as I first spun records until 17. That's when I dove headfirst into the Montreal Underground Rave scene, from 1994 to 2008, dancing my heart out through halls and dancefloors… worldwide!

What defines my sound? It's an unfolding story deeply rooted in my family's music – picking up sounds as far back as the 30s to the 60s. This foundation quickly stretched to include BB King and Elvis, alongside the raw power of Rob Base, Funkdoobiest, and Das EFX. I even pulled from the Bee Gees to Dee-Lite! These artists, combined with countless hours on the dancefloor, taught me the true meaning of funk, groove, and rhythm. I fed my soul on those undeniable grooves and funk, letting my body swagger and dance freely in unity.

Now, a gift newly unearthed at 50 years old, I've only truly been back behind the decks for about 30 hours this year! My sets these days are always unique and never prepared, as I carelessly experiment and go with the flow. I effortlessly transition from intricate jungle to joyous, grade-one cheesy disco funk. As a natural B-boy, even the rawest electronic hardcore will find its groove with me.

I'm notoriously picky about my sounds: unique, different, and special are my three rules. My repertoire spans every underground style that emerged from the rave scenes. The rhythms of DJ Food (NINJA TUNE!), A-Trak, Cut Chemist, MONTY, Digweed, Farina, and Mills aren't just influences; they pump through my very heart. My drive is always towards what's fresh, truly innovative, and inherently groovy.

My creative intensity means I can pivot in an instant: from soulful grooves to fast, dry hardcore or raw dubs, then smoothly back to progressive, jumpy beats that carry my soul away.

This is my vibrant sound, a direct reflection of underground music culture, from the 1980s until today. My electronic and house music journey began at 14, and my sonic world is in constant, dynamic evolution.

SimbaSōl is not just an artist—he is a conduit for emotion, rhythm, and release. Montreal-born and rooted in a life shaped by movement and sound, SimbaSōl creates electronic music that is meant to be felt, not just heard. Sonic experiences that blur the lines between club set and inner journey.

His lifelong connection to music and spirit now fuels a mission: to transform dance floors into spaces of presence, growth, and joy. His sound is marked by earth-driven grooves, expansive synthscapes, and a subtle emotionality that invites listeners to open, move, and let go.
