Solardo deliver an electrifying Essential Mix debut

There are few names as scintillating to watch in the current techno and house market as Solardo. Though the swiftly burgeoning UK-based duo is a relatively new addition to the scene, both of its members have noted solo careers in dance music. As MRK1, Mark Richards is an established producer within the dubstep community, while James Elliot has seen his success under his own name in the house scene.

Over the past two years, the pair of producers has caught the attention of labels from some of house and techno’s biggest influencers, gaining support from Jamie Jones and Lee Foss’ Hot Creations imprint, Skream’s Of Unsound Mind, and Steve Lawler’s Viva Music – the lattermost of which backed the duo’s 2015 breakthrough single, “It’s a New Jam.”

Solardo have become practically ubiquitous in the global club and festival circuit during their brief tenure, and in their first-ever Essential Mix, they demonstrate why they’ve become such an in-demand duo. Over the two-hour broadcast, Richards and Elliot build an ever-enlivening set which would be at place in any concert setting. Celebrating some of tech house’s most engrossing releases of the last several years, Solardo’s Essential Mix includes standout remixes from the likes of Joseph Capriati, Catz ‘N Dogz, and Prok & Fitch. The set also showcases unreleased singles from the duo’s own catalogue as well as from artists such as CamelPhat, Riva Starr, and Frankie Rizardo.
