SOLCAST by Sol Martinez

In the 12th installment of this mix series, the sound is a bit on the darker bass heavy side of the spectrum. Solcast 12 features some techno inspired breaks and house beats that are meant to set some warehouse style vibes. Some of the artists heard in this mix are Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Ricardo Baez, Enrico Sangiuliano, and many more including a special Coyu remix of the Moby classic "Natural Blues". I hope you feel the vibe on this one.

Big thanks to all who joined me for the celebrations at Solstice in downtown Phoenix at the end of June. If you were there you may recognize some of the tracks including beats by artists such as Fred Everything, Doorly, Eli Escobar, and Huxley. Enjoy the sounds... Sol

The 10th installment of the Solcast mix series featuring tracks by Fluida, Todd Terje, Theophilus London, Maribou State, Hijinx feat. Chuck Inglish, & more.

The last of the single digit episodes is upon us so I put some serious groove into this one. This episode kicks off with with the Catz 'n Dogz remix of Soul Clap's Ecstasy featuring Mel Blatt. Also featured in this mix are tracks and remixes by Riva Starr, Harry Romero, Michel Cleis, and many more.

It's been another busy year in video production for me, but a recent move to Los Angeles has allowed for a bit of time to get some mixes recorded. Here's some of the sounds I've had in my playlists from various parties in South Beach, Downtown Miami, and Downtown Phoenix in recent months. Love Frequency by Nick Holder kicks off this mix setting a lofty spacey vibe.

After taking some time to work on other media projects, I'm back in the music studio and playing a couple of gigs here in Miami and in Phoenix. Solcast 7 is a sampling of what the downtowns of these cities can expect to hear.

WMC 2012 is here and in my back yard! It still is a bit surreal that I live in this extremely unique city known as Miami. With the Winter Music Conference around it's a great time to bring up the energy level for this special WMC edition of the Solcast. Lots of heavy funky and driving house music in this one, including tracks and remixes by J Paul Getto, DJ Dan, Sasha, Alex Kenji, M.A.N.D.Y. & more. I'll be dj'ing the A2B pool party at the Marseilles Hotel 3/22, and Metro Beat at Sushi Samba 3/24. Hope you dig the mix... PAZ!

Attention, Solcast episode 5 is now online. We're just about a month away from WMC here in Miami and thoughts of sipping mojitos out on the ocean are hard to keep out of my mind. This episode starts out real basic, and the energy gradually kicks up and stays groovy. If you're a child of the 80's like me you'll also appreciate some of the samples on this mix... Heavy D ring a bell? Feedback always appreciated, tracklist available on request. Paz!

This is the first episode since I returned from Costa Rica and Phoenix, both places where I played shows that were really aimed at the deep house sound. So I wanted to share some of that vibe, tracks which are really making my soul groove at the moment. I hope you dig. Tracklist available upon request.
