MIX SERIES

We’re extremely proud to present the first edition of our SOLITUDE MIX SERIES. Curated by one of the most promising new names in the UKG scene, we introduce Arfa; the 19-year-old DJ/producer whose talent and flair for this music far surpasses his age.

Dipping our toes back into our less aggressive side, UK Garage don @on1uk joins us for KIX012 - Since joining us for our event in 2019, On1 has appeared on Rinse FM, Mode fm and Subtle Radio to name a few, he has pushed a few of his releases onto wax and definitely shows promise in both his productions and live sets in the future.

London based, Birmingham born, he's been making a name for himself in the garage scene the past year or two thanks to his high energy sets and moody productions. Taking a lot of inspiration from pioneers such as El-B, Zed Bias, Steve Gurly (just to name a few) during the period where UK garage music was getting progressively darker, On1 is fully immersed in the culture this movement brought forward. This sound massively influenced his productions and still does. By blending infectious and skippy 2-step percussion with powerful gritty basslines you know when he's on the buttons.

They launched their first event back in March 2020, but of course got put on pause over lockdown. Since then, they’ve kept it moving with their bi-weekly show on Phever TV and have got some events in the pipeline ready for when things fully settle down in IE 🇮🇪 


To keep in tune with the sounds of SOLITUDE, Mick recorded a punchy UKG mix with one of the sickest intros we’ve heard in a minute 📞

@CORNERSHOPBOY coming from our beloved Liverpool with this jungle swinger

CORNERSHOPBOY - NOKIA160 [OHSVA001]

Insurrect is a selector who resides on the darker side of the tracks. He’s always represented the music he loves, initially carving his path as a resident at the Crystal Clear DJ society in Hull (they’ve been holding it down for 14 years now…) He’s currently based out of Manchester and has been shelling in full force since he moved down. We’re gassed to have him as the mastermind behind the fourth entry of our guest mix series.

He isn’t one to shy away from the grimy sounds and nasty basslines we all screwface to. Having opened for some of the sickest names in UKG; Conducta, Higgo, Smokey and Wookie to name a few, we assure you his SOLITUDE guest mix is more than serious. In his own words “sometimes you’ve gotta get dark and wobbly.”

Don’t miss out on his residency shows at @subtleradio and UKG sets for @altoradio either. You can often hear him move through breaks, dubstep, UKG and electro with no stress. Hit play and get ready to bop your head to this one.

Bandoe & Cortex - XS
Holloway - Echo Tone
Interplanetary Criminal - Bronze
Oldboy - Kung Fu Kenneth
Eyesight - ??? [Unreleased]

Freddie Baker AKA BAKEY has got to be one of the most influential young producers this side of the scene. His releases have been featured by UK giants @mixmag-1, he has almost 15,000 monthly Spotify listeners and he’s been getting support from some of the biggest underground names out there for a while now; @skeptical, @bigflowdan and @e5izco to choose a few.

@bakeymusic isn’t locked to one genre, with his guest mix for SOLITUDE truly expressing his talent with some crazy blends, HUGE dubplates and a bunch of features from fellow music heads. He effortlessly experiments through styles and pulls out selections that on paper don’t sound like they’d work, but when in the mix they sound nothing short of incredible. You gotta hear it to believe it.

He’s also the brother of @breakaleeds who is killing it right now. The two of them have just released "Pro Perc" and "Club Dynamics" two super crisp pieces of production that feature on Breaka’s upcoming EP "Breaka 003" – You don’t want to miss that one. Talk about talent running in the family.

P.S We don’t want to say too much… but you will probably see BAKEY on a SOLITUDE line-up towards the end of the year...

It’s been a heater of a week, so we’re keeping the sunshine vibes strong with this belter of a mix from @oldboytrax 

Some of the SOLITUDE crew are over in Croatia for @noise-london festival and we’ve been rinsing his mixes non-stop. Perfect ones to kick back to. 

His guest mix in particular is gully from start to finish. As always with SOLITUDE mixes, we ensure you hear lots of high quality, unreleased music. Wait till you hear Oldboy’s dub that opens the sections. 

Hailing from Sheffield, Oldboy caught our attention with his grimey remixes, rolling sub bass that accompanies almost every tune, and his flair to flip unique sounds and samples into head boppers. He’s remixed audio sourced from everything  from The X-Files to grime cyphers. 

His latest 4 track release “Grimey Ones” does what it says on the tin. Check it out after you give the mix a spin on beatport.

Oldboy - ???

Nerv Rack

Blends heavy, raw-edged synth layers with crisp percussion and evolving textures, carrying both grit and atmosphere. Experimental EDM vibe that’s both confrontational and transcendent.
