Sol Martinez Bio:

Arizona Native Sol Martinez has been an integral part of the surging Phoenix dance music scene for over a decade. From the very beginning this DJ has been on a mission to make people dance through the vibe of house music, in all its forms.

Sol’s DJ resume includes a wide variety clubs, festivals, and radio shows… he has also spun at nearly every reputable venue in Arizona, as well events in California and Miami including the Ultra Music Festival. His work has earned him awards such as AZ’s House DJ of the Year & New Times’ DJ Spinoff winner. Most recently Sol has taken much pride in co-creating and running one of the Valley’s most successful weeklies: “FUSE Fridays”. “FUSE” (created and run by Sol & partner DJ Mara) is known for bringing in some of the best underground talent from around the country and globe such as Congorock, Tittsworth, Drop the Lime, Harvard Bass, L-Vis 1990, Nadastrom, DJ DLG, & many more…He’s also been specifically requested to open for dj’s such as Laidback Luke, Benny Benassi, DJ Craze, & Bart B More to name a few.

To see Sol behind the tables is to see someone who is truly passionate about his craft. He is always on top of the most cutting edge sounds from around the world, has the ability to build a story through his sets spanning a widespread knowledge of house music, knows just the right time to bring in a classic beat or vocal, and displays his strong technical abilities mixing at times on 3-4 decks, all while feeding off the energy of the crowd and exhibiting a vibrant stage presence.

Mowgli w/ Opening Set by Zachary J

Italian born DJ and producer Mowgli (Michele Savasta), began his career humbly in the north Italian village where he grew up. With few nightclubs to really get lost in and no happening music scene, Mowgli felt compelled to make his own sounds and made do with a cheap keyboard and sampler. It wasn’t long before he discovered hip-hop, immersing himself in the lifestyle and culture before moving …to pastures new in Bologna. Once there, Mowgli indulged in all manner of illegal rave diversions until fixing up and making the move to the London in 2006.

Mowgli’s unrelenting ambition to find new directions and expand his musical boundaries saw him experiment with different musical genres, but his time spent producing Drum and Bass in Bologna left him with elements to his sound that made it instinctively recognisable. Mowgli’s first EP on Mantra really pricked the ears of the industry and grabbed the attention of the underground House scene. In the year that followed, Mowgli’s bootleg of the Chemical Brothers,” Do It Again”, led to an influx of remix requests, some of which include X-Press 2, Santogold, The Sugababes, Martin Solveig, Armand Van Helden, Tommy Sparks, Tricky and Simian Mobile Disco amongst others.

Doc Severinsen & El Ritmo de la Vida – October 14th – Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts – According to the promoter’s website “Doc Severinsen’s virtuosity on the trumpet is rivaled only by his unforgettable stage presence.

Of course, he will forever be known as Johnny Carson’s witty and wildly dressed band leader on The Tonight Show.

Now living in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, Doc maintains a busy performance schedule with his innovative and aptly named trio, El Ritmo de la Vida (‘the rhythm of life’), featuring guitarist Gil Gutierrez and violinist Pedro Cartas. “I came to Mexico with retirement on my mind, but when I heard them play I knew that I would be playing with them for some time to come,” notes Doc. “Latino music, along with the blues, has always been among my favorites, and Gil and Pedro do it along with a European style that I love and so do our audiences.”
