Upcoming Gigs





Dec 23rd Taste it Fridays at Triangle Bar - Milwaukee Wisconsin

 

 





Hey Everybody, thanks for swinging through. Just wanted to drop a small update on whats going on. Been working in the studio alot lately perfecting my craft. I've been checking out plenty of Mixing/Mastering tutorials in between production sessions to try and step up my game. Currently, I am finishing up a 3rd track for an EP I plan to shop soon. Its more of a disco vibe which is what I' am feeling more of these days. On the gig front, a few months back I got asked to play a party in Milwaukee for Jessica and Melody at their weekly Friday night soiree. I have been back twice and will be there on the 23rd of December for their Christmas Party. Its such a good time and the vibe is thick so if you are in the area I suggest you come through. Happy Holidays everyone and if you're a looking for mixes I just posted a snippet of a new mix I plan to hand out to all the Milwaukee heads on the 23rd.

Bio:


Frank Solano was never classically trained in music, nor did he ever play

any kind of instrument growing up.  What he did have was a boom box and

an older sister who was heavy into this new sound that was taking the

city by storm.  The sound was House music and the time and place was

Chicago during the late 80’s.  Frank got his first taste of the underground

recording Hot Mix 5 mixes for his older sister.  These tapes were the

beginning to what would become two decade love affair with Chicago House

music.


Over the years he has always kept a finger on the pulse of what was moving

people in the windy city.  Behind the decks Frank has had the opportunity

to DJ at some of Chicago’s most historically notable House nights in the

last decade.  For 4 years he secured a residency at the famed Zentra nightclub

working with prominent Chicago powerhouse promoters such as HouseArrest 

and Music101, regularly warming up such heavyweights as Louie Vega, 

Mark Farina, and Derrick Carter.


Most recently, Frank has focused most of his creative energy on generating

fundamental, inventive and deep-rooted house music. His deep house

productions have been signed to such labels as Lost My Dog, Kolour

Recordings, and most recently Nacho Marco’s LoudEast Recordings. Frank has

also been keeping busy with composing remixes for US labels, Guesthouse,

and One Thirty Recordings and Kinjo music.  His collaborations with

longtime friend Chris Santiago (of Santiago and Bushido) under “The 312” moniker

have been routinely charted by Deep House heavyweights such as Kevin Yost and

Moodymanc. With many of Frank’s productions in their final stages of

release, it is no question that this bright DJ and producer will soon be

adding his name alongside the incredibly stellar list of Chicago’s finest
