Yours truly puttin down some serious WOMP-WOMPs in Champaign/Urbana, IL. I’m currently traveling all over the midwest on my “summer tour” in support of my mixtape/e.p. DJ SOLO “Hated In The Nation”. If you ain’t got it yet…go get it HERE. BASS PUNX muthafucka!!!!

Schwagstock 2010 Mini-Mix (Grateful Dead, Phish, Sublime) DnB!! by DJ SOLO

Who knew?…Hippies love BASS music! So, I’ve been booked to play the late night electronic music tent at a 2-day Grateful Dead tribute festival called “Schwagstock” in the middle of the woods somewhere in Missouri. In preparation for that, I’ve made some special music just for the occasion. A ten minute teaser of the upcoming live set featuring The Grateful Dead, Phish, & Sublime all mashed up with Drum & Bass, and Hip-Hop. The live set at the event will also include some classic SA mashups, plus Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Flaming Lips, The Pixies, and as usual, live DJ SOLO madness!! From what I’ve heard, the hippies might actually riot if I play mashed up Grateful Dead, but if that seriously happens, I think it would be awesome to be known as the person who insighted a hippie riot with music. I’d even proudly wear a shirt that said that.

I’ve been playing a bunch of shows this summer all around the midwest, and have been calling it the “Summer Tour” even though none of the shows are related and it’s not really a tour. I just think it’s funny to be on a midwest tour, because who goes on a tour of just the midwest? That sounds ridiculous…and that’s why I like it!! So this mix is the official “leak” of the “DJ SOLO Midwest Summer Tour 2010″ (un-officially sponsored by Coke and Subway).

TOUR PICS SO FAR… (more…)

He didn’t bring a lap top. No records. But this Mofo Brought some killer shit that I wasn’t ready for. If your not up on 6 Blocc wake the fuck up, I just did. Here’s his set from last night’s B real TV Set. GET YOUR BARS UP!!

DJ SOLO – Hated In The Nation by DJ SOLO

This is my new dubstep concept album/mixtape/EP “Hated In The Nation” which contains all original DJ SOLO bootlegs, re-edits, and remixes, along with 5 original rap tracks over dubstep, drum n bass, and hip-hop, and is “hosted” from beyond the grave by the most hated outlaw punk rocker himself…GG Allin!! The goal of this mix, other than to be fun and entertaining, is to draw a clear line in the sand between what used to be considered “dubstep” and the newer hardcore style that has now evolved into something that the original dubstep fans cannot identify with and for the most part, downright HATE. I want to open the doors for hardcore bass music of all genres including dubstep, DnB, electro, and Hip-Hop, to be united without it being subject to someone else’s rules and standards. This ain’t your father’s dubstep…this is BASS PUNK!

(and in case you’re wondering…the cover art is a take-off of GG Allin’s Hated In The Nation)

Chicago Mobster Dance (feat. DJ SOLO) – Doctor P by DJ SOLO

DJ SOLO on the mic? WTF?? This is an original song I wrote over dubstep producer Doctor P’s track “Rasputin’s Gold”, called Chicago Mobster Dance. It’s not an official collaboration between me and Doctor P, it’s just a “freestyle” for an upcoming mixtape I’m working on that will feature all original bootlegs and remixes, as well as more DJ SOLO on the microphone! Protect your neck!!!
