After a small hiatus this summer and returning back to work with all the craziness in the world, it's time for some new content and show you what I've been studying the last few months. The Tuesday Podcast is a show that is based solely on skill, learning new gear, and to sharpen my ears for new techniques as a DJ. The next few episodes will be live from Dancers Showclub, my residency of 9 years. I'd like to give a big shoutout to Gabriel and Dresden and Dj Flipside from B96 Chicago for keeping ...

It's been about a month since I've released any new content with everything going on in the world and learning some new stuff with editing my mixes, which is what The Tuesday Podcast is all about. I did this mix on my birthday (5/25) but just now decided to release it. You'll recognize a few tracks from Summer Sampler Vol. 5 and some other mixes due out later this month and in the future. Be sure to check out the links below and tell me what you think. Now that I'm back at the club again, I plan...

Summer Sampler is my annual EDM classic with some of my favorite Dj/Producers and mashups. I bought my first Dj gear and started mixing in 2016, and this series is all about progress and growth. This year I wanted to include 3 genres of music in depth; house, techno, and trance. With the variety of mixshows and podcasts I've put together over the years, these 3 genres that make "EDM" have now become series of their own, Solly's Proper House, Into The Techoverse, and Transcension. Be sure to chec...

#starkleavesclues is a favorite hashtag of mine that takes a play on my personal instagram (@sollystark) and my favorite MCU character Tony Stark/Iron Man. I take my approach to music/Djing much like Tony Stark does to his tech and using his resources to change the outcome of situations. My mixes have lots of "lyrical imagery" and clues that people who know me personally will get and others will find hilarious yet interesting. This will concludes this mixtape series as I will reboot my birthday ...

Tony Stark is one of my all-time favorite Marvel characters (who also is known as Iron Man in comics and movies) and #starkleavesclues is one of the hashtags I use on Instagram a lot. I decided to call my birthday CD #starkleavesclues because I think of myself as a Dj in the same way Tony Stark does when it comes to tinkering with technology to build his suits of armor and various gadgets. This 90 minute mix your about to listen to is jammed packed with 39 songs (my age today) as I take you on a...

For the past 3 years or so on my personal Instagram (www.instagram.com/sollystark/), I've used the hashtag #starkleavesclues. My nickname at the gentlemen's clubs I've worked at over the past few years has been Tony Stark. I'm a huge Iron Man fan and fits right along with being a Dj for the past 15 years. Anyways, I always believe that Dj's can tell stories through music and I've always identified with inspirational and real life quotes and memes on social media. This year, I decided to do a mix...

This week's episode of The Tuesday Podcast is a closing set I did for my monthly event at The Patron Saint called Transcension. It's mashup between Trance, Progressive House, and Techno. These are 3 genres I love but do not play a lot in my normal rotation at say Dancers Showclub, my residency of 8 years. The purpose of this show has been become more than gear or skills I've developed over time, but an expression of my love for music. As time for the global lockdown lessens, I will be back to my...

Trance. An interesting genre of music that as of late I have an monthly event surrounding it's euphoric vibes at The Patron Saint, a hot new venue in downtown Indianapolis. This set is a practice set (with some mistakes) I've been working on with the help of Dj Rencarn8 as I work on longer blends and more of an uplifting vibe. Thank you for your support and shout out to Elated from Vancouver! https://www.pscp.tv/thedizz1979/follow https://twitch.tv/iamthedizz1979 https://www.mixcloud.com/thedizz...

Tonight's episode of Mixtape Monday is live from The Patron Saint. Usually before a event I get there early and do a soundcheck and record a set to test out levels and get in my zone. Running an event is different than just being a Dj because there are other elements you're involved. Big shoutout to the staff at The Patron Saint and Slater Hogan on giving me an opportunity to bring my creative ideas to a wonderful venue! Next week I'll bring you part 2... Thank you for your support and be sure t...

Transcension is a new monthly event I will be hosting starting in January 2020, featuring trance, progressive house, and techno. I'm familiar with all 3 genres, but I will be working with other Dj's so I've been doing a great deal of studying along with digging through my crates of music. This is the fun for me because I like to share music with my listeners and try different things. My goal is to be a well rounded, world renown open format Dj. Having traveled overseas a few times to network and...

This weeks Mixtape Monday has an old school vibe to it, similar to my work on Flash 107.6 FM with Old School Mondays and Old School Hour. Lots of samples, like of new jack swing and other 80's and 90's R&B hits. This weeks WCW will be gracing the cover of the #new52mixshow series in November.

Mixtape Monday is once again live from Subic Bay as we bring you another set from Olongapo City here in the Philippines. This time I wanted to bring you an island vibe with some dancehall , smooth jams, and some top 40 hits. As my trip nears the end, I was very excited about the music I heard. It has definitely inspired me as a Dj.

Currently I am on vacation/sabbatical from Djing but I'm still producing content. Traveling is fun to me and to be inspired by sights and sounds is something that happens for me quite f...

And we are back with more from my Saturday Night at Dancers Showclub on today's episode of Mixtape Monday. Every night I Dj, regardless of the venue, I make it a habit to study my playlist and sometimes record my sets in hopes for a better performance next time. No Dj wants to be typecast as playing the same thing over and over although the crowd wants to hear what the crowd wants to hear. I try to mash up a few things with what's popular and introducing them to something new. Dj's are tastemake...

This week on Mixtape Monday I had a little fun with Phase, a alternative to styli for turntables. They take some getting used to but I put together a set with some old school and new school tunes while playing with effect on my Pioneer DJM S9. We will see more of this in the future along with other gadgets I'm trying as I add to my arsenal.

Welcome back to Mixtape Monday ladies and gentlemen. I have another mix to present to you from my Golf outing at Prairie View golf club a few weeks ago. This time I decided to branch out a little more with some trance and big room house mixed with a few classic rock remixes. The next few episodes of Mixtape Monday I will explore more trance, drum n bass, and big room tracks to close out the summer. Once again thank you for your support and make sure you check out my newest mixtape release Summer...

Today's episode of Mixtape Monday we take a sharp turn with music that didn't go over well with my crowd. But the way I see it, if you're going to be a Dj on a global scale you need to be willing to try music that doesn't work and know how to switch it up. Most of my mixing favors a nice amount of EDM and primarily Tech House. I do play dubstep and trap music but tonight's mix is a little bit heavier versions of both genres. You'll see towards the end of the mix the I change the vibe of the mix ...

This week on Mixtape Monday we take another look at Phase. I've worked with turntables, dj controllers, and just a straight laptop in my Dj career, but Phase is probably one of the most phenomenal devices I've used. This is the second mix I've posted using Phase and I must say that it's something that will stay in my bag along with my actual turntable needles. I feel a good Dj is always willing to learn new gear and incorporate it into his style of play. I'm still new to mixing but I'm excited t...
