The Dizz presents Solly's Podcast

If I had to tell you who one of my biggest musical influences was from my hometown, I would have to say it's Cheyenne. Over the years we've often shared Spotify playlists, and it gave me ideas of things to play at a club level. By the time I put together Summer Sampler ten years ago, a few of her songs made it to the Final Cut. I would even go as far as to say Sunday Vibes from the #new52mixshow i...

Normally, The Kat In The Trap releases on Thursdays or Fridays, but today is special... it's Kat's actual birthday!!! And to celebrate, here is a new mix with new cover art. What started out as a semi-annual mixtape series in 2017 has now become a recurring mix on the #new52mixshow and a precursor to the WCW series. Known for its "Lyrical Imagery," this birthday episode takes a dive into the progr...

On this week's episode of Mixtape Monday, we get a new look with some old familiar tracks. Long before I started playing in clubs on the West Coast, I had a passion for electronic dance music. Some may consider most mainstream music commercial these days, with a "Coachella" type vibe. But during my tenure at Dancers Showclub from 2012–2025, these are some of the tracks that helped shape the sound...

Got a nice subtle mix for you on this week's episode of Sunday Vibes, as the #new52mixshow keeps trucking along. For those of you who are new to the series, I usually tend to be more R&B focused with some smooth tunes as most people wind down their weekend or just getting started with their week.  Thank for lending me your ears and continued support.  Track Listing  DJ Drama - My Way (feat. Co...

The 765 Podcast is back in full effect with some bonus episodes coming your way this week. The #new52mixshow is now 7 days a week with some new editions that are on my SoundCloud. Tonight's episode I wanted to experiment with some older hip hop tracks and a few tempo slides to get you in the mood on a late Saturday Night. Thank you for lending me your ears and continued support. https://soundcloud...

After a small hiatus, the #new52mixshow is back ladies and gentlemen !!!! Mixtape Monday is one of the longest running mixshows and this week we have a guest for our 150th episode, the 3rd time that's happened in this series.  Dj Psydquest is an up and coming Dj in the Portland scene and has an amazing ear for music as well as a wonderful photographer.  For more of her awesome masterpieces behind...

Tonight’s episode of Sunday Vibes is filled with a little Valentine’s hangover energy. I’m feeling very ‘90s with this one — revisiting some of my favorite jams from before I even became a DJ.  We let these tracks breathe and play out a bit, keeping that laid-back feel while continuing to bring you fresh selections from the #new52mixshow this week. As always, thank you for lending me your ears and...

This week’s episode of The Kat in the Trap pulls a few favorites from my radio show on The Block 105 (airing Saturdays at 8pm ET, 7pm CST, and 5pm PST). There’s plenty of heat in this one — including T.I.’s new single ‘Let ’Em Know,’ selections from Don Toliver and J. Cole, and a standout remix of Chris Brown’s ‘Beautiful People’ by Vancouver’s own Seb C West Coast. As I get ready for spring and s...

This week’s episode of Manila Underground is packed with bangers — including a remix of John Summit’s ‘Light Go Out’ and fresh heat from Seb C with his flip of Chris Brown’s ‘Beautiful People.’  As the mix builds, we lean into the heavier side of things with a nod to dubstep and trap toward the end, bringing that bass-driven energy the series is known for. Manila Underground is always a fun challe...

Kayla definitely needs no introduction to the WCW Series, having been featured here before. A former bartender and waitress from my last club residency, she’s always been a strong supporter of my DJ journey and the playlists that come with it.  For this episode, I put together a selection of jams you might catch on the #new52mixshow, kicking things off with a fresh remix from Cardi B’s new album a...

I had a few cool ideas in mind this morning while putting together this week’s episode of Mixtape Monday. To kick things off, I opened with two recent Super Bowl halftime performers — Bad Bunny and Kendrick Lamar — along with Paul Oakenfold’s remix of ‘Massive’ by Drake to set the tone.  Former Solly’s Podcast guest Mister Gray also brings the heat with a standout edit of Fred Again..’s ‘Turn On t...

Feeling extra groovy tonight after Bad Bunny’s halftime performance and watching the Seahawks bring home another Lombardi trophy to the PNW. This week’s Sunday Vibes leans into that laid-back energy, blending soulful house with touches of disco. As a teenager, I had a deep fascination with disco that eventually evolved into my love for house music. I was born in 1979 — right as disco was fading an...

We return to some familiar themes on this week’s episode of The Kat in the Trap. Cardi B’s ‘Err Time’ remix by DJ Bizzon blended with Jay-Z’s ‘Stick to the Script’ sets the tone, alongside T.I.’s new heat, ‘Let ’Em Know.’ The closing stretch was especially fun, with Chlöe and Halle’s ‘Do It’ featuring Doja Cat, followed by ‘Swan Song’ and a final chef’s kiss of drum & bass to wrap things up. ...

I’m going out on a limb and saying this was one of the most challenging mixtapes I’ve put together in years. But with the Big Game coming up and me being a longtime Seahawks fan, I wanted to have some fun with this one — blending in Bad Bunny and Cardi B to set the tone. Shoutout to my longtime photographer friend for the creative input and song suggestions that helped shape the direction of this...

I’ve got something special lined up for you — a wild mix that takes a few unexpected turns about halfway through.  This one features a standout remix of ‘Gyalchester’ by Drake from Vancouver-based DJ Jaemo, and we close things out with some Netgate — because what bass head doesn’t appreciate a little Netgate to end the ride?  I love putting together these jams to help kick off your weekend the rig...

Zelda is truly a beautiful soul and an incredible supporter. I met her when I returned to my hometown over the holidays for a few shows, and this mix is my way of giving that energy back.  I wanted to create something reminiscent of my club days — that Kat in the Trap space where EDM and trap collide. There are a few moments to listen for in this one, including two edits I put together myself (pro...

This episode of Mixtape Monday stays true to the series — with a twist. About five tracks in, you’ll hear a tempo shift that flips the energy and climbs back toward a more upbeat, house-inspired feel. I’ve been vibing to French Montana’s new single, ‘Ever Since U Left Me,’ and used it as a bridge between moods and momentum. Along the way, you’ll catch a few cuts I’ve been rinsing on Sunday Vibes a...

I want to begin by paying my respects to DJ legend Michael ‘5000’ Watts. I grew up on Swishahouse, and it felt only right to honor that legacy by featuring a few tracks from Mike Jones and Paul Wall in this week’s mix.  While my catalog for this episode isn’t as deep as I would’ve liked, I also included records from other artists across the Dirty South — songs that are over 20 years old and shaped...

This week’s episode of The Kat in the Trap takes a different turn, pulling from a wide range of sounds inspired by my sets during the strip club era. It’s an upbeat, dance-forward vibe, opening with remixes from Gunna, Larry June, and even a touch of Amy Winehouse to set the tone. The storyline stays true — artists and tracks that reflect Kat’s taste in music, woven into the Alice in Wonderland–in...

This episode of Manila Underground reflects how I typically approach my bass and dubstep sets — blending a wide range of genres and tempos into one cohesive, high-energy journey.  DJ MikeMetal from the Philippines is a collaborator on this weekly series, and coming up soon you can expect a guest mix from him, with hopes of a back-to-back livestream in the near future. Thank you for lending me your...

One of my favorite tempo ranges to mix in as an open-format DJ is around 113–118 BPM — it’s the perfect bridge for transitioning between genres. Today’s Sunday Vibes blends a few of my favorite artists while keeping things funky up front, then gently teasing into some house toward the end. As always, thank you for lending me your ears and for the continued support. Track Listing  Roosevelt - Montr...

Tonight’s episode of Sunday Vibes revisits a few tracks from my Sunday Funday days of 2016 and 2017. As a DJ, mixing records with live drums is always a fun challenge — especially when some download pools offer DJ-friendly intros. But for certain tracks, I lean into authenticity out of respect for the artist and the original feel. This one isn’t part of our sample vs. original series (Episodes 83...

I’ve got a fresh new episode of Technoverse for you. With my current schedule balancing the mixtape series and my YouTube channels, I’ll be releasing one episode per month from each of my electronic series — Solly’s Proper House and Transcension and this one — until we roll into spring. This approach gives me time to dig for new music and line up a few upcoming show announcements along the way. Be...

Today marks a special chapter in the Transcension story — six years of late-night journeys, evolving sounds, and moments shared both on and off the dance floor. What began as a concept has grown into a space for exploration, connection, and community across cities and scenes. To honor the anniversary, this episode features a guest mix from Winfield Music, a member of the Amryta Collective in the P...

Welcome back to Part 1 of today’s double-header on The Groove Directive. Fellow Hoosier & Seattleite DJ Amp kicks things off strong, followed by a run of remixes and hits designed to keep the dance floor moving. Our feature track this week is Gene Farris’ latest release, ‘Lazy’ — a cut that brings the energy from start to finish. As always, thank you for lending me your ears and for the contin...
