Solkist RIPEcast Live at Unison 6

58 minutes

Wow it took us awhile but we got through all the fine music from BoC. We also just wrapped up the SEVENTH installment of Unison where we raised >$10k for the Asian Pacific Fund. One of the new hosts of Unison working with us is the Santa Cruz DJ Sessions and we're pleased to welcome the founder of SCDJ, Solkist, to the RIPEcast with her set from Unison 6! We have a few more from the last event and then we'll get to some of the U7 music as well!

Here's what Solkist had to say about the mix:

"Sweet N' Nasty Fresh Chunes for your listening pleasure! Stay tuned to SCDJ Sessions upcoming LIVE events scdjsessions.com"

About Solkist:

Solkist, a world traveling electronic ace, guarantees an energetic dance party. Considered to be a “music mixologist,” she has sounds for everyone to jam out to. With her sneaky ninja-beats, bass’d up remixes, and funky jams, Solkist weaves wildly flavorful ear candy. This female DJ has a huge stage presence and even bigger anthems that crowds and clubs get electrified by. You’re sure to enjoy the bouncing jams that Solkist delivers.

She first fell in love with electronic music in 1995 and began her international house and trance collection. Traveling across the globe to pick up the latest and greatest live sets, Solkist soon had an incredible library of rare and treasured tunes. In 2001 she played her first vinyl set, and by 2010 she had her first CDJs.

Her djing career took off from there playing at local Santa Cruz clubs, Monarch SF, Burning Man, Festivals across California, and clubs in Mexico. She’s played with many sound camps on the On/Off the playa including Camp Questionmark and Airpusher, Duck Pond, and Ali Bar Bar. Solkist has opened for Dirtybird Resident J.Phlip, Fort Knox Five, and Tronik Youth, amongst other heavy hitters. She has written and produced deep house songs as well. Solkist’s unique flavor bridges the delicious sounds of bass imulsified melodic house, with a kickin’ 4-on-the-floor beat, and instrumental audio for an explosive full-spectral experience!
