TOM MCRAE : Guest Mix 010

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.

Ahead of his debut EP ‘Freefall’ that releases on 3rd May, Arfa has blessed us with this selection. Moving from garage to jungle, the mix features unreleased music from himself and a host of other up and coming artists. We suggest you take some time to lock into the sounds of Arfa for SOLITUDE.

This one is packed full of dubplates that are yet to see the light of day, so lock in and listen to some unreleased goodness.

Representing SOLITUDE for our third entry of the guest mix series, we bring you the man like M|CK. Emerging from Dublin, @mick_offcut is a founder of Offcut Dublin, a DJ collective who curate underground selections and nights over in Ireland. 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 📞  


This one oozes funk. Full of big two-steppers, melodic vocals and a healthy amount of sub-bass. Large up the Irish connections, we see ye ☘️

MIX SERIES: 003 / M|CK

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.




Tracklist:

Bandoe & Cortex - XS
Holloway - Echo Tone
Interplanetary Criminal - Bronze
Oldboy - Kung Fu Kenneth
Eyesight - ??? [Unreleased]
Xander - You'll Understand (Bam Bam)

Eyesight - Champion Race
Al Wootton - Witness

MIX SERIES: 004 / INSURRECT

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...

Eve - Let Me Blow Ya Mind feat. Gwen Stefani (D.O.S Remix)

Vinyl only. Four fine fast-steppers from the north of Italy give a running start to this fresh sub-label from Lisbon's Carpet & Snares Records. DJ Chupacabra aka Davide Piras splits the difference between UK garage, early 2000s Berlin minimal house and the lighter side of Frankfurt's Gosu sound. The result is a record packed with lively exercises in dancefloor momentum – some straighter ('Cougar') and some steppier ('Rocinante'), some smoother ('Revolver') and some tougher ('Lopez'), but all of them delivered with a cheeky wink and a smile.

Cinthie’s we_r house returns with its eleventh release this December, courtesy of Elgo Blanco who delivers four stripped-back house cuts across the EP.

Elgo Valkoinen aka Elgo Blanco is the moniker for a group of producers hailing from Italy and over the past few years the crew have released their twist on contemporary house via Cab Drivers Cabinet Recordings, Nova Grooves and Old Vibes. Here we see them offer up their latest work via Cinthie’s we_r house, a perfect fit for the labels refined and groove-driven house aesthetic.
Leading is ‘Arpo One’ which employs bumpy drums, an amalgamation of intricately woven bass and synth stabs and subtly nuanced atmospherics throughout. ‘Arpo Zero’ follows next, embracing a more percussive led feel with organic drums, chanting vocals and wooden marimba style melodies ebbing and flowing within.
First up on the b-side is ‘Just In Case’, moving things towards a more micro house feel with swinging robust drums, modulating synth whirrs, a soft stab sequence carrying the groove and wandering acid-tinged bass stabs. ‘Ota & Time’ concludes the EP, fusing metallic kalimba melodies with rounded sub bass tones and a low- slung rhythmic drive.

Track List:
1. Arpo One 
2. Arpo Zero 
3. Just In Case 
4. Ota & Tine
