“Fresh, cheerful and open-minded with a subtle taste of filth and urban lifestyle” – deep house and disco producer/DJ Nhan Solo has steadily made a name for himself; spinning throughout Berlin’s underground circuit and releasing original material via Mother Recordings, Off Recordings and his own label, Semester Musik.

Get familiar with the sounds of Nhan Solo below:

Solo’s lengthy roots in Hip-Hop has prompted samplings of Snoop Dog, Dr. Dre and a heavy bassline club-edit (and free download) of Whodini’s 1984 hit single, “Friends” -

_____

His latest EP (a Mother Recordings debut) I Wanna Be High & Stay, was released March 7th and has already received early support from Jimpster, DJ Sneak, 6th Borough Project, Huxley, David August, H.O.S.H and Solomun – and includes the soon-to-be house anthem, “I Wanna Be High”

and the soulful and breezy 90′s R&B-influenced, “Stay”

_____

and finally, a personal favorite (released last year), the booty-popping bouncy-house Oliver $ remix of Solo’s “Gandy”

More from Nhan Solo via Facebook and Soundcloud.

Dave P. & Sammy Slice – Weekend at the White House

Brian Billion just posted his latest mix, Leap Year; a lush, dreamy, slow-motion disco/house collection that touches on the ethereal tones of Berlin-based Tigerskin’s “Three Master,” the addictive, sultry sounds of Hot Toddy’s “Down To Love,” (featuring vocals from theater actress Jennifer Rhonwen) and the shadowy, affective notes of John Talabot’s “Destiny” (featuring Pional on keys and percussion), to name a few.

As one who is consistently ahead of the curve, Brian Billion and his DJ sets are not to be missed. Arrive early to U Street Music Hall this Saturday night and catch Brian’s opening set before Classixx and Bit Funk. Doors open at 10pm, purchase tickets here.
