The Dizz presents Solly's Podcast

Being a Dj in gentlemen's for 15 years, The Kat In The Trap represents what I think of the future of the industry and how multiple genre's of music flow together. What started out as birthday CD for Kat turned into mixtape mini-series and led to a few spinoffs such as WCW, #starkleavesclues (my birthday mix) and Flash Forward (a new show on Flash 107.6 FM). In part 4, we dig deeper down the rabbit...

Welcome back to another episode of The 765 Podcast, tonight I'm bringing you another part of my set from the Streetcar Takeover I did at Twin Peaks back in July. This time I turn up the volume and hit my crowd with a little more aggressive dubstep and trap music. If you've listened to the first of The 765 Podcast that's the direction I went along with some Hip Hop and R&B. As always, thank you...

I must say that I like Phase a lot, new Serato update not so much. In creating my mixes, the smallest detail is very important to me. In the long run, speed becomes important as well. My transitions are a very important part of my mixes and when and if I make a mistake I try to correct I as soon as possible. My preferred setup is turntables always because the records are always moving. Take a list...

Welcome back to Sunday Vibes. The next few weeks I will be getting acquainted with Phase, an alternative to Styli for turntables. Check out these smooth grooves I put together on the wheels of steel in front of a live studio audience (Dancers Showclub)... Thank you for listening and for your support. Be sure to check out the links below to my other mix shows on Flash 107.6 FM and Mix99Radio https:...

When I initially did The Kat In The Trap Part 3, I did 2 versions that both were for the radio. I wanted to take the series to a more commercial level, by making it more of a mix show format like I do at Flash 107.6 FM and Mix99Radio (links below). The revised version is unedited and a little longer than the original version. Part 3 concludes our first trilogy, with the typical story structure; ex...

Tonight we return with part 3 of my performance at the streetcar takeover at Twin Peaks in Indianapolis. This was a great opportunity for me to extend my brand play in front in a very large crowd. Normally at Dancers Showclub, I play in front of a few hundred people on Friday and Saturday Nights, but this event is the largest crowd I've played in front of. I tried to play a variety of music and de...

The Kat In the Trap is a story within a story, but ultimately it;s about building a brand. For years, I've worked in gentlemen's clubs and the vast majority of younger entertainers like Hip Hop, R&B, and Trap Music. This series best represents my connection with the younger generation in my industry through music. As I've progressed my skills over the years and branched out of my comfort zone,...

We are back ladies and gentlemen with some more tunes to bless your ears and speakers this afternoon with another set from Streetcar Takeover at Twinpeaks in Indianapolis. I've never played a car show, but it was great time to promote my promote my brand and introduce my audience to a little bit of everything. Take a listen and be sure to follow some of the links below for my radio work and other...

Recently I've been experimenting with Phase, a new form of Dj gear that replaces needles for Turntables. I takes some getting used to that's for sure. I'm still new to mixing which is cool because I learn something new each time I do a mix or mixshow. I like to include my mistakes because what I'm putting together is authentic in the long term. Being a Dj is all about expression of an art form. I'...

The Kat in the trap started as a birthday CD as for this young lady a few years ago. At the time, I was still new to a lot things as a Dj including trap music. But this is a story kind of like Alice in Wonderland as I take my listeners down a rabbit hole of genres of music. Could you mix dubstep with trap music or some metal songs? Can you add in some electronica or trance to the equation? The tem...

In the month of August, I'm going to bring you a few parts of my set from Streetcar Takeover in Indianapolis, an event hosted at Twin Peaks and sponsored by Folds of Honor. I decided to switch a few things up with all the releases I have coming up. Take a listen as I take you on another journey with music, and be sure to check me out 5 days a week on Flash 107.6 FM Columbus (link below) bringing y...

So here we are. 2 episodes left in Season 3 of The Tuesday Podcast, a show I created that documents the growth of my skill set as a Dj. A few weeks ago we were live from Sub Zero Vodka Bar in St. Louis (Shoutout to Dj Greasy), this week we are live from Revel Nightclub located in downtown Indianapolis (shoutout to Cadillac G). Here's some things to look for in the mix, the importance of a good pla...

This is my finale set from Indy 500 Weekend at Dancers Showclub this year. I decided to mix a little bit of various genres for my diverse crowd I have. That's what it's about, taking your crowd on a journey through music while telling a story. As time goes on, I try to push more creativity through my shows, whether it be this one or my WCW Series or my Radio work. I'd like to thank my listeners an...

Summer Sampler Vol 4 is a love story. When you listen to it you'll think it's about a woman but it has to do about my growing relationship with music. 3 years ago today, I began recording my first mixes, they aren't great but when you compare them to this mix you'll see my growth. My annual EDM classic has now become a measuring stick charting my growth. Shout out to Maddjazz from chi-town making...

Tonight's episode of Sunday Vibes is Part 3 of 4 of my Indy 500 set on race Sunday. This time I took an EDM approach to the wheels of steel while mixing in some classics the crowd recognizes. I like posting my live sets to show the variety of music that I play at my club. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't as you will see in future shows that I upload. As a Dj, if you want to successful o...

Today's mix is a continuance of last Saturday's performance at Dancers Showclub, a set that did go over well with the crowd. I almost always have success with my crowd when I play house music the past few years. There's a lot of elements from every genre that can be interpreted. I think the beauty of things is that some record pools do remixes of popular rock, hip hop and r&b songs and it's ea...

Summer Sampler was my first mixtape ever produced as a worldwide release. That sounds so funny to me to say 3 years later. I've learned a lot since then producing and mixing well over 300 mixes on both Mixcloud and Podomatic. My first mix was done using Mixmiester putting the tracks together on a tempo curve. I didn't go the way I wanted but I learned a lot from my first mix. This warmup set that...

The summertime is always productive for me. Starting next month, I will be adding another mix show to Flash 107.6 FM Columbus called Flash Forward. It will replace Old School Hour on Fridays at 8pm EST and Old School will move to Thursday Nights at the same time slot. I'm working towards pushing radio play a lot more. WCW Radio will be an ongoing weekly thing with new episodes Wednesdays at 8pm an...

Last week on Mixtape Monday I brought you a drum n bass live from a golf course. Yes, a golf course! Every year I do a charity golf outing with Folds of Honor and I perform a set from the first tee box. It's very interesting yet fun considering I'm a golfer and a golf course is the last place you'd think to hear loud music. Anyways, I put together an EDM set for this weeks 765 Podcast which went o...

First things first ladies and gentlemen, Shoutout to Dj Greasy from St. Louis. He spins every Thursday Night at Sub Zero Vodka bar so you should definitely check him out (instagram link below). I hopped on the deck for about 40 minutes or so last week and did some editing of the mix but putting two sections together of my impromptu set. This mix is very reminiscent of some of my set that I did in...

The Indianapolis 500 is a weekend I've Dj'd many times. The past few years have been a little different after learning how to mix tracks on a continual basis. In the past, a majority of my sets have been primarily rock due to the crowd base during this event. This year I decided to mix it up and record a few of my sets to give listeners a peak into what I play. Last week and the next two weeks on...

The Tuesday Podcast is a mix show about the elevation of my skill set as a Dj. I started with a controller, worked my way to CDJs and then to Turntables. It's a process. Now I'm Djing with with no needles thanks to Phase. I'd like to say that I love Phase and will continue to use it in my sets. The pitch adjustment is off somewhat but it's workable. I did this mix with one headphone working and it...

This month on Sunday Vibes, we take an inside look at my Sunday nights at Dancers Showclub. The four sets I did were during the Indianapolis 500, one of our busiest weekends of the year. Fresh from the Pacific northwest and celebrating my 40th birthday, I had a few ideas in my head for sets for the weekend. I like posting content for my followers/fans weekly as I come up with ideas and get more fa...

Tech House Takeover is a genesis if you will or elevation with myself and house music. This set is inspired by the very birthplace of house music, Chicago. I decided to do this mix on Turntables and more experimenting with the crossfader. This summer I will be re releasing some of first few projects on CD and on more platforms. I think as a Dj, the music you put together in a mix is an expression...
