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.

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.

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

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...

This week SOLITUDE go international, bringing you a banger of a guest mix all the way from Chile, courtesy of the don @hitch93 🇨🇱

Representing Santiago, Hitch 93 started to fully focus on his mixing and production back in 2015. Since then, he’s found himself favouring the purest of old school UKG influenced sounds in the form of 2step and 4x4 tracks and selections. We saw his guest mix a while back for RinseFM France and clocked he was one to watch 👀 

His mix for SOLITUDE (as always) is packed out with remixes, exclusive tracks only Hitch has access to, and a few unreleased dubplates from across the globe.

He’s making noise over in the U.K with his recent “Green Light” album, featuring 10 of his most recent tunes. He’s pushing the sub-genre of “Half2Step” that’s a hybrid of 2step and broken beats. You can find the link to his Bandcamp in his bio. Trust us, this guy knows what he’s up to.

My remix of Diplo’s track ‘Be Right There’

Be Right There - Diplo & Sleepy Tom (NOAH WHO Remix)

DOT5 drops “Shoot 2 Kill” on Far West – a tech-house roller built for peak-time energy.

Heavy grooves, tight percussion, and a hypnotic low-end collide with a raw vocal lift from Gimisum Family’s “Thinking of a Drive By”. The result is a stripped-back yet deadly club weapon – dark, driving, and fully charged for warehouse systems.
