DJ Andres Solano with 27 years old, started at the age of 16 buying “Vinyls” by internet and lying about his age to have the opportunity to play in the first “rave parties” and clubs in Costa Rica.
Born into a humble family in Costa Rica, his father won a scholarship to become a sound engineer in Holland and London for the BBC in the 80’s.. Andres grew up seeing his father editing with scissors, tape and open wheel (the old analog way to produce audio).
At age 6, Andres got hold of a microphone, some tapes, and a double tape stereo. His father found him on various occasions “producing” a radio show purely by play and pause.
In 2001 at age 17, he opened for Satoshi Tommie in Costa Rica and since then can’t imagine stopping. Dave Seaman, Paul Van Dyk, Hernan Catteneo, Anthony Pappa, Chris Fortier, Infusion, Tiesto, Jes are only a few names he has been involved with since then.
With 18 years of age Andres was named The youngest DJ – producer to become part of the Balance Record Pool roster, including top international artists like DJ Colette, Danny Tenaglia, Chris Fortier, Jimmy Van M, Paul Van Dyk, Peter Hook, Sultan, Steve Lawler. (Balance Record Pool closed operations a few years ago).
Solano is part of the DJ generation and producers having to move forward with new technology, first vinyls, then CDs, and now Ableton live and MIDI controllers. “Now I can mix more than 2 tracks at the same time with loops, vocals, effects and more! I called a live DJ performance”.
”Music and dancing are the most humane expression of all, since it connects with our primitive past, love, sadness, passion and all those feelings so humane, all in one single universal fusion.”
At the end of the day, Andres only cares about love, the future not the past and strives to make people smile. Through his music, his desires are delivered in a message felt all over the world.
