Sol Power Sound is proud to present its first release of 2016, a 3-song EP by recent Finnish expatriate, Tom of Brooklyn. After a massive release on Razor-n-Tape in 2015 (and slight change of moniker), the ever-mysterious Tom delivers a 3-song EP of breezy disco grooves inspired by his recent cruise of the islands.

On Theme Song from Deep Cock, Tom double-teamed with Deep Sang (of the Sol Power All-Stars). The tag-team duo came up with a tight and groovy title sequence for a film that will likely never see the light of day.

Look at Me is a moody slice of disco goodness that Tom put together for his now-legendary sunrise sets on the ship.

Make Me Wonder is a warm-weather jam that fills the B-side of the record. A seemingly endless funky groove, it was Tom’s secret weapon at his all-day beach parties in port. He tells us he can’t wait to play it at outdoor jams in his new home of Brooklyn, NY (and at Fire Island soirees this summer)!

Just in time for summer, Sol Power Sound is proud to present its 4th release, the Djidjo Vide EP, a 1-2 punch of Afro house by label heads, the Sol Power All-Stars. 

Djidjo Vide, the title track on the A-side, features DC (via Togo) Afrobeat band, Elikeh. It’s  a vibey slice of propulsive Afro house about finding joy in the face of hardship. Massama Dogo’s commanding vocals (sung in Mina) combined with the driving bass line, and aggressive horns (performed by DC’s Sticky Bear) make Djidjo Vide a summer sure shot for a roof-top jam, beachside dance floor, or nightclub near you.    

The B-side, Tell Me Why is darker and deeper, chock full of percussion, a chopped vocal sample, and in-your-face afrobeat horns (performed by Matt Rippetoe and Joe Herrera of DC’s the Harry Bells). It’s a late-night beatdown that will set things off proper in a dark room! 

Support from: Jose Marquez, Soul Clap, Cottam, Daz-i-kue, Philou Louzolo, Nadastrom, Dawit Eklund (1432R), DJ DRM (Bastard Jazz / Wonderwheel), Adam Gibbons (Uhuru Afrika), DJ Cortega (Dakar), Ausar, Adrian Loving, Panama Cardoon, DJ Taha (Khartoum), Lil Dave (Illvibe Collective), Stevie G (Bali), Chris Brooks (ESL)

Washington D.C.'s Meso Creso family was kind enough to invite us to play their first festival. The Nomadico weekend was full of good vibes and open minds despite some challenging weather. We had a blast going into the deep reaches of afro-latin house under Meso Creso's bayt and a full moon. Listen close and you might catch a future Sol Power Sound release in the mix as well as some jewels from our back catalog.

In a world of widening extremes, plastic fills the oceans, an insect apocalypse threatens the delicate balance of natural ecosystems and a million dead fish rise from the depths of the Murray-Darling Basin. Dread and hopelessness come naturally in the face of these overwhelming crises, but optimism still manages to persist. 

Harvey Sutherland’s rolling samba keeps a relentless pace, punctuated with a loping gospel mantra – they say there’s something in the water – delivered by Jace XL, whose past credits include live and studio recordings with Hiatus Kaiyote; backing vocals for Sampa the Great; and ‘Sacrifice’, a 2016 EP with Silent Jay released on Rhythm Section International. 

SOMETHING IN THE WATER is the first single from Harvey Sutherland’s new studio band, which comprises long-time drummer Graeme Pogson, percussionist Phil Binotto and bassist Luke Hodgson. It was recorded and produced at Harvey Sutherland’s velour-lined recording studio that might just come in handy as a survival bunker when the approaching apocalypse hits Melbourne’s inner-northern suburbs.

Vocals: Jace XL 
Drums: Graeme Pogson 
Bass: Luke Hodgson

Something In The Water (Underwater Dub)

For its first release of 2019, Sol Power Sound is pleased to welcome back Nenor -- formally Obas Nenor-- to the label family. Since his now-classic Color Soul EP on Sol Power Sound back in 2015, Nenor has gone on to release a string of hugely successful EPs on Heist, Whiskey Disco, and on his own imprint, Nenorion Music.

With the Future Ancestor EP, Nenor revisits the African-inspired textures that made the Color Soul EP unforgettable, but ventures further into the subterranean reaches. On "Tike Ye Ya Kende", Nenor teams up with Congolese-born vocalist Natalie Wamba for a rousing dancefloor heat-rock, with pulsing marimbas and hazy synths.  

"Nova Man" is a straight-up banger with huge chugging bass, dubby vocal samples, and thrilling atmospherics.

"Ibe" dives head-first into the deep with tripped-out arpeggios, complex, layered percussion, and more of those gritty signature Nenor synths. 

"Knwo" speeds ahead on a bruk-n-bass trajectory as a frenetic stomper that will inspire late-night dancers to throw crazy shapes.

With early support from Simbad, Soul Clap, Jacques Renault and more, the Future Ancestor EP is sure to be another staple in ever-growing Nenor and Sol Power Sound catalogs and will keep dark rooms ablaze all summer long.

Full tracklist is available of the Sol Power Interview on LV online, link is below.

Hailing from Washington, DC the Sol Power All Stars describe themselves as a sweaty and exhilarating party experience connecting Cuban roots with the discos of Lagos and the warehouses of Chicago and Detroit. Their latest EP ‘We Push On’ has just dropped on Soul Clap Records and it’s as dynamic as you would expect from this brilliant crew but with added political bite taking the current US administration to task. We spoke to them about the EP, their message, line up and plans for the year ahead. Check out the interview on LV Online via the link below:

Sol Power remix of the classic Fruko smash on Discos Fuentes.

A La Memoria Del Muerto (Meistro Sol Power Remix)

Deep sounds inspired by planet earth. We connect the beats from Cuban roots to the beaches of Rio to the discos of Lagos to the warehouses of Detroit and Chicago. Three obsessive crate diggers and veteran party rockers team up with a master percussionist to destroy dance floors and press records that move them.
