DJ Sneaks #11 Solo

Back from Secret Garden Party and broken does not do our condition justice. Such an amazing weekend and by far the best UK festival in my eyes, definitely a party that is not about the big names on the line up yet the music is as good as any other. Huge love to The Full Colour team and the guys at Team Love. We joined Mr Solid Gold and Park Ranger on both Friday and Saturday nights for a proper B2B session and a lot of fun was had. Love as well to all the people who came down to see us play. Definitely going back next year.

Now on to this little beauty from our Italian man about town, Solo.

As you may have heard before, Solo aka Stefano Ritteri is one of the nicest guys in dance music, he is also however one of the talented. With a schedule that seems to be get busier and busier as well as some unexpected projects in the pipe line for certain artists that i would be shot for letting out any info on, Solo is definitely doing things right.



With past releases on Dirty Bird, DeadFish and many more his back catalogue is certainly something to be proud of. His latest Ep "Midgets Go Deep" released on Lapsus music has kept the quality in step with it being a staple in our festival sets over the past few months.

And there's more to come. Solo is set to launch his own label "Congaloid" in the coming months and in celebration he has put the below mix together for DJ Mag as well as sending us a sneaks (well....not quite sneakers) shot over to make him number 11 in our DJ sneaks posts.

And in true Solo style the foot ware is definitely at the smoother end of the spectrum. He was in a hurry to get off so snapped the below and pinged us the mix link over but unfortunately we don't have too much info on the shoes themselves. This is what he did have to say.

"Yo, got some boat shoes on because I'm on the way to Ibiza, gonna sneak in some boat parties and i hate flip flops....you can't run away fast in flip flops."



Get on the mix below and download it to your tune pods.
