We are so excited to have DJ SOL joining us for the first time THIS FRIDAY for our Juneteenth Celebration of Southern Club music! She’ll be sharing the decks with none other than Sonic Essence co-founder & local tastemaker @verlikewater!

Sol is a Durham, NC based multi-instrumentalist with a keen ear for movement-inspiring music. She prioritizes spotlighting diverse sounds spanning the Black diaspora, from Ampiano to Ghetto Tech to Baile Funk, and everything in between.

Sol acknowledges the dance floor as a sacred space, and understands music as a means of facilitating liberation, healing, and community. In reverence of this understanding, Sol’s approach to soundscape creation centers freedom, creative expression, and human connection wrapped in feverish rhythm and bass and playful vocals that are guaranteed to move you.

Through music, Sol strives to create a transformative experience that is immersive, embodied, and transcendent by cultivating a sonic environment that inspires listeners to shed their inhibitions and embrace their interconnectedness.

Everyone please give her a warm welcome 🙌 can’t wait to see you this Friday at @the_pinhook! taken in The Pinhook by @sol.aerys

📝 Class is in session… freedom of expression, freedom of movement, and freedom to gather have never been free. This was the inspiration for DIRTY SOUTH, our celebration of Southern club music happening at Pinhook on Juneteenth!

We have lovingly prepared for you all a jumping off point to dig into the various interconnected histories within southern club music, a sonic tradition that is deeply influential to other genres we elevate in our work. For example, Detroit Ghettotech would not exist without Miami Bass! 🔊

It’s important to understand how all of these traditions are in communication with one another, so that we can honor them properly when engaging with the music. It’s also important to give weight to the true influence and cultural impact of Southern club music, to prevent the erasure and cultural extraction of the communities that built every facet of it from the start, and continue to carry this tradition forward (as evidenced by our song selection for this post).

Don’t let your learning stop here! 🚨 Please continue to seek knowledge directly from the source, while we still have the opportunity to be in direct conversation with the pioneers that built these genres.

Are there revisions you would make to this content? Let us know in the comments! ⬇️ These are living breathing resources that can be revised with community input. It takes a village to do justice to this work, and we invite your participation ❤️
