Meditation 001: Dj Andres Solano

Meditation 001 is part of a series of DJ mixes I did a couple of years ago.

If you like Techno, Progressive House, Deep House, House Music and Acid House you are in the right place. With 34 years old and 17 years on the road, Andres started at the age of 16 buying “Vinyls” in Miami and by internet ( in Costa Rica there was not other way at the time to buy records and even by internet was really hard) also he had to lie about his age to have the opportunity to play in the first “rave parties” and clubs in Costa Rica.

In 2001 at age 17, he opened for Dj Satoshi Tommie in Costa Rica and since then he started mixing 3 o 4 times a week every week in the best parties, events, clubs and bars. Dj Dave Seaman, Dj Paul Van Dyk, Dj Hernan Cattaneo, Dj Anthony Pappa, Dj Chris Fortier, Infusion, Dj Tiesto, Jes are only a few names he has been involved with since then.

Dj Andres Solano is part of the Dj generation and producers having to move forward with new technology to be a great Dj, first mixing with vinyls, then CDs, and now Ableton live and MIDI controllers.
“I can mix more than 2 tracks at the same time with loops, vocals, effects and more! I called a live Dj performance”.

Andres released his first production in April of 2006, “Clouds over the Ocean” song played in the radio show Vonyc Sessions 079 of Paul Van Dyk and after this support Dj Andres Solano did the opening for Van Dyk in two opportunities. Now Solano counts, with more than 70 songs in stores like Itunes, Beatport, Amazon, Spotify and more.

October 2011, the legendary record label of United Kingdom Renaissance, released the song “Tierra Blanca”, chosen by Dave Seaman (pioneer of electronic music) in the new Renaissance Master Series mixed by Dave Seaman.
