• ED SOLO
Ed Solo shows his signature ragga D&B style
Ed Solo has been at the front line of the drum & bass scene for more than 20 years. For most of that time he’s spearheaded a distinctive blend of upfront drum & bass, jungle and reggae, injecting a fun, bouncy atmosphere into what’s often described as a serious genre. While he’s been DJing and putting out records as a solo artist since he started, Solo’s career has been shaped by a couple of key close affiliates. This started back in 1998 with Represents, a gritty collaboration with Brockie that would spawn a longstanding relationship between the pair. In 2009, he then launched Jungle Cakes with Deekline, opening up the music to a new crowd through twists on reggae classics through highlight tracks like No No No (You Don’t Love Me) and Top Rankin. Solo was also active during dubstep’s explosion for the label Sludge, but with two full-lengths in partnership with Brockie and Darrison since then, drum & bass and reggae has been his primary focus. The mix he’s provided transports us back to energy-filled club nights and summer festival takeovers in the form of uplifting ragga drum & bass, mixed with new school flavours from some of the scene’s frontrunners.
