Interview with one of hard dance's founding fathers Sol Ray

Reported by HarderFaster / Submitted 15-07-05 18:38

If there is such a thing as a hard dance ‘scene’ then Sol Ray must be considered a scene maker. Having witnessed the birth of dance music, he’s been around since the ‘scene’ as we know it began, starting off in bands which led to him pioneering the early production of electronic music. As a promoter he booked the likes of Carl Cox and Sven Vath when they were up and comings, until he finally moved into djing and hasn’t looked back.

Now a successful dj, producer, label manager and co-editor of acclaimed underground dance magazine Upfront, Sol continues to be on the cutting edge of the industry. With the launch of new label Headstrong and the forthcoming celebration of Upfront’s 5th birthday in the main room at Antiworld’s ‘Break the System Down’ on Saturday 23 July, it was high time HarderFaster caught up with one of hard dance’s founding fathers for a chat.

For those who don’t know you, how did it all start? Have you always been into music or was it something you fell into over the years? Did you get into electronic music first or are you also into other forms of music?

I started as a guitarist and then got into bands — punk rock bands, and then into ska, which led me into the dance route. If you listen to ska it sounds like dance. I got into reggae with a guy from the Wailers. He really liked dub and I started doing dub effects. We played Glastonbury and sh*t like that. It’s still sort of in my tracks now, in that you’re processing music and sounds, taking it out of a live domain and into a recorded sequence. It got me into bands, 12 piece bands. I got sick of sitting waiting for the drummer to turn up, so I decided to make my own music. Then the whole dj explosion started. I got into promoting because there was so much exciting music around, people like Sven Vath, Carl Cox. I booked a lot of guys as they were beginning to become famous, so spent a few years watching them and saw how they worked the crowd and decided to give it a go, and the rest is history, as they say…

How would you describe the Sol Ray sound?

That’s a really hard one! I think it’s really based on the hypnotic trance side of dance music. Being entranced in music is what I’ve always loved with trance djs, which is what’s happening on the dance floor and what I’m searching for in my music. No matter if I’m making music with Mik (Dynamic Intervention) or NuNRG or hard trance with Dark By Design or hard house with Captain Tinrib or techno with Alex Calver, there’s always a trance thing going on. It’s the same thing you get in reggae bands, a kind of euphoric transformation. It’s definitely uplifting! And usually pretty tough! But it’s quite varied. I can play bits of all of it in a set, but not in most clubs. I just had a really nice set in Leeds where the crowd were up for anything so I played loads of mad stuff! But often promoters will say, ‘This is what we want…’ and I’ll deliver.


Sol Ray @ Impulse


You’ve been involved in hard dance since back in the day. What have been the highlights of your djing career so far?

Probably playing at the Dance Valley and Impulse Festivals. Playing to 25,000 people would have to be the highlight, with the mind-blowing stuff they do with their production, absolutely stunning lighting, sound systems and the environment on the edge of a lake was amazing! The first time I got flown anywhere was amazing. Playing in Canada, touring Australia… Japan was amazing. Being able to go to the local record shop and find amazing records, and then find yourself 6,2000 miles away playing them to a bunch of people who’re into it, it’s a mind blowing experience.

Getting tracks signed to Overdose/Pulse in Germany was a very self-affirming experience. Getting three tracks signed was amazing, as it’s the home of Scott Project and S.H.O.K.K. who’d I’d always thought of as my heroes for hard trance. I’ve been making tracks with Gaz (Dark By Design) and we’re both so over the moon to get tracks signed by that label. And getting a track out on tidy! I’ve been working with John (Captain Tinrib) and getting our track signed to tidy is awesome! We had a really wicked, wicked week in the studio where it fell into place and we knew there was something great about it. It was picked up by Euphoria and two compilation albums before it was even signed! The compilation cds sold several hundred thousand copies before tidy even picked it up and then it was them that signed it!

Just being able to do this at all is a massive highlight for me!

Do you consider yourself as predominantly a dj or a producer? If you could only do one, which would it be?

I suppose work-wise, definitely a dj as it’s something I can do. Going out every weekend gives your life meaning, it sort of makes sense. You can go out and rock the house and get booked time and time again, it gives you purpose.

Production is a very creative and a very personal experience. It can be quite an introverted experience, so it’s great when you’re working with other people. Going in with Mik has been just great, you have so much fun when you go in with a friend. As a producer by myself I can lock myself away for days and days. So I think I’d opt for djing, because it’s such a great experience and it all makes sense. You get to go out and have fun with everyone else, it’s more of a communal activity.

How did you get into production? Did you ever do one of the trendy courses or are you self-taught?

I did it the long way round and am self-taught. I got hold of a guitar when I was 13. The first time I saw someone play the guitar in the same room as me I thought, ‘I want to do that’. Then following that it’s been one long wonderful learning curve, moving away from instruments and getting into electronic music. When the first computers came out I was intrigued! I was learning at the same time as everyone else, no-one had an advantage. I don’t think such a thing as going to ‘Midi school’ was so cutting edge when the first technology was arriving! People into new technology would get excited when the new Atari arrived and it hasn’t really changed. It’s constantly like that being a musician in this kind of field, being a producer in this era, constantly absorbing the new technology arriving.

You’re a very prolific producer. How long do you spend in the studio per average week? Do you have a laptop mobile studio like Yoji’s you can use when you’re on tour? Do you ever find it hard to get inspiration?

I’m in the studio for about 2–3 sides a month, sometimes more. It’s been working out to about two tracks every three months in the last year. Yes, I do have a laptop and do write when travelling. I’m always getting ideas together in parallel with my life. I’m constantly writing things down, finding sounds to sample, ideas to use in a project in a year’s time, constantly absorbing. With new technology you have to be like a magpie! I’m sitting in my studio now literally sitting in a wall to wall diary of the last ten years. I can still think of ideas connected to this record and that record and may finally get round to it one day. It’s so much fun writing music and there’s so much stuff to inspire and so many great artists from so many different kinds of music. If I ever get stuck I just reach in my record box and grab an album… there’s always shed loads of stuff and you go, right, let’s go, and suddenly ten records later you realise you’ve got something. I could talk for hours about what inspires me as there’s so much stuff!


Sol Ray @ Tasty


You’ve recently collaborated with some of the biggest names in the scene including Dynamic Intervention (Mik Cree) and Nuw Idol. What tracks have you done in the last year that you play out the most? Do you have anything in the pipelines you can share with HF readers?

Obviously ‘Attack of the 50 foot dj’ has been at the front of my box since we made it. It’s been a massive tune for me and it’s such a thrill to play something people know to connect to me and John. I had ‘Hardway’ on Vicious Circle with Mik, it’s a big track for both of us and has been picked up by many compilations. Some of the stuff I’ve done with Gaz (Dark by Design) — like ‘Evolution’ on Pulse — has been tearing it up almost everywhere. More recently ‘Nowhere to Hide’ is coming out on our new label, called Headstrong. It’s already been picked up by the GoodGreef album and recently played by Andy Whitby, Ubertruck and Sam Punk so I’m well pleased with that!

How has your sound changed in the 10+ years you’ve been djing?

It’s got harder. I started with trance and techno and I still play trance and techno. Some of the offshoots have obviously been hard trance and NRG from out of trance and house. To simplify, it’s just got harder, but I think that’s because production quality has got better. Things can be clearer. Sound systems are better and the pressure can be better. You couldn’t make sounds like that ten years ago, so that’s possibly a reason! Being on a quest for new thrills is just a fact of being a human being, looking for bigger, wilder, madder experiences and our music’s followed it. It’s in our nature to want that… what was the question?

And how has the scene changed in the last 10 years? Do you often wish you could go back to the good old days of Pickle and Superfish?

I’ve never been one to look back and think, it was better then. There’s no point, is there?! I just had an amazing night at Riff Raff in Leeds this weekend, we went to the club and everyone was having it, listening to cutting edge fresh music just as it was ten years ago!

The scene has changed. It’s become more of an ‘industry’. But generally people are still as great and the people on the dancefloor are having as much fun, because that’s what people do. I can be nostalgic about lots of things in life, but life is what you make it! Your Saturday night is what you make it, whether it’s today or ten years ago.

In this industry names come and go. Who has left their mark on you over the years?

I mentioned Sven Vath before. He’s into techno these days, but he’s got this funk. Like a lot of great techno djs, he can make something out of nothing. Richie Hawkin and Derrick May inspire me, they’re into house and techno, housey chicago fusion, it’s a joyous funky music. Carl Cox. More recently a lot of the artists who’ve inspired me I’ve got to work with… but I don’t want to get all lovey! Laurent Garnier is quite something! Dave Angel left his mark on me. The guys when I first started going out and partying who changed the way I thought about music, and as music is such a big part of my life that’s very important.


Sol Ray @ Samsara


Over the past 2 years hardstyle has been making a frequent appearance in the 2nd rooms of many of the UK’s predominantly hard house events. Do you think it will ever make the switch where hardstyle will be the norm in the main room and hard house will be the second room choice?

Hardstyle is massive in Holland. I supposed some people may construe some of what I do as having hardstyle influences. Myself and Sam Punk have talked of making a track in the last couple of months and may well go down that road. Things have been in a state of flux and tend to morph into one big room style-wise. Hard house has started to have a harder kick as people get more acclimatized to it. Techno inflitrates hard house, trance infiltrates techno, but I don’t know if it’s as straightforward as scenes maneuvering… they tend to cross-pollinate. I’m sure hardstyle is going ahead though… djs have to be brave enough to push the boundaries out and play lots of different things. It all depends on the moment and the timing.

You’ve organised more than a few events in your time. As a musician, how do you deal with the politics of promotion?

There’s always been an interesting relationship between music and people who want to make money out of music, be they promoters, agents, whatever… Promoters are involved in marketing and being in time with the people that want to go clubbing and that’s what they’re good at. In order to get good music out there, you need great promoters. As a musician you rely on promoters to be brilliant and promoters depend on musicians to be brilliant.

Many djs claim they go through a ‘growing up’ period where their music tastes change, usually slowing down and leaning towards what some consider as more mature music such as house or breaks. How much do you agree with this and do you think it will ever happen to you?

That’s a funny one! How one’s moods change over the years…. It all depends what’s going on at that moment. I’m not of the school who’s been doing music for so long I don’t feel the need to mature… I like to think I’m learning but don’t know I’m maturing! I still need to do crazy things that perhaps someone ‘mature’ wouldn’t do! Maybe I’ve acquired some skills that’ve helped me understand the music I make better, but that doesn’t necessarily make my music more mature. Ask me in another ten years… when I may be making slower house records… or I may be banging it out!

What, in your opinion, makes a good track?

It you’re talking about dance music, I think some of the greatest records ever known are really simple. They’ve got the combination of right sounds… it doesn’t necessarily rely on one element. You hear some record and click, it blows your mind, or sometimes it’s the combination of elements. It’s about what moves you, and that can be a number of things, be that a riff that moves your heart or a vocal that makes you go ‘F*ck yeah!’ A good combination of elements where music happens and can be any way now. Quite often it’s just getting the kick and the bass happening and finding something that works …. hearing that kick can make you do that nod ya head thing and go ‘Yeah!’ Knowing where you’ve got that is a skill to acquire! In the moment of recording you do have to be patient with that element. Obviously some people are talented at creating that musical soundscape. Gaz is amazing — he can get that kick in the bass thing going quickly, which opens the doors for me then I just go and pepper my crazy ideas all over his massive sound.


Sol Ray @ Cyberdance


You’ve toured Australia and North America. What’s been your favourite event to date? And is there anywhere you haven’t played yet that you’d like to visit?

Japan was pretty amazing, just because it was so unusual. It was just like being in another world and it made the experience very unique musically. If you’re taking your sound and your records to somewhere so different culturally, it really hits you with a sense of amazement. When you’ve got a group of people so culturally different it’s a very unifying experience. It really made me think of the people back home and wish they were there — I got a real sense of global impact!

How many records do you own? Do you still mostly play vinyl or is the digital revolution changing the way you play music? Would you ever consider playing a live set?

I’m sitting in a room surrounded by about half my record collection and there’s another 5,000 or so around the house. I think I’ll play records forever. I’m toying with some new technology as I mentioned earlier and that’s changing the way I think of dj performances. I’ve been using cds for the last couple of years so I can play my own tracks out before they make it to vinyl. Now software looks like it’s going to give us opportunities to make my tracks work live. A lot of artists like Sasha use Ableton. Richie Hawkin is using a different set up altogether, Final Scratch. Both are interesting to me and it’s a matter of getting your head around how and what I could be doing, so I’m looking forward to seeing them both at the Glade Festival this weekend! It’s exciting, the whole idea of being able to remix a track to a certain degree live. You can really start to create multi-layered sets so you can be taking the samples from one track and going to play in an hour’s time and produce the track. Again, I just like having fun with it all, it’s new and exciting. Being a guitarist and a performer obviously helps the live aspect to being a dj. It is finding the right balance that’s intriguing me, that part where you’re performing ‘live’. I don’t want to be doing performances looking like I’m answering my email — it has to be a physical tactile experience, like djing vinyl.The creative possibilities are very very interesting, it’s just like taking your studio on the road and that’s so exciting. The technology is now being reliable, and that’s the real shift if you like.

What do you believe makes a good set? How would you prefer to get the crowd’s attention?

Being able to read the atmosphere in the room and timing accordingly. All clubs are so different and every night is different, so you definitely need to absorb some of the atmosphere in the room. It helps to get there at least an hour before you play so you can really have a good look and meet a few people and see what the dj is playing. Sometimes the dj on before you is having it and you really can’t drop the ball. That can make for a very good set. For me it needs to be music that thrills me and I tend to play records that thrill me and as I’m mixing so many different kinds of music, it helps me to be able to read the crowd and you can play a variety of music if you play the crowd right. These days I don’t usually get into trouble! When you’re learning you can miss the nuances. Once you become reasonably accomplished and gain experience it becomes quite natural to step in front of thousands of people and have some fun!

What does your mum think of hardcore music and did your next door neighbours love you as a kid?

I think I may have upset the neighbours, but family-wise they’re pleased. My dad especially is pleased I’m doing what I love. But there’s definitely been some upset neighbours along the path! One of the worst times was when I was running a sound system and used to take it back to the massive squat where I lived with huge rooms, so I managed to upset a few people along the way, which obviously I feel extremely guilty about now!

How did the Airborne agency come about?

Like a lot of all this it’s grown organically. It stated because myself and a group of like-minded artists were looking for some time for someone who could understand what we were looking for. Obviously Hils has a good understanding of what myself, John Bell, Michel (Nuw Idol) and the others are looking for in our careers. She’s attracted a certain type of artist to the agency. We’re just like a bunch of mates really.

With your partner in crime Hils you’re an editor of Upfront mag, which is generally regarded as one of the UK’s top underground dance mags, if not the world’s — in fact a friend of mine was in Sydney recently and was chuffed to come across a copy! How did the Mag start?

We were involved in a mag called Implant, run by a Drum & Bass crew. They didn’t really want to keep doing it and were more involved in D&B and didn’t really get hard dance. We were basically helping them run the mag for them so we went on when they stopped. I’ve always loved writing, because it’s sort of an alternative means of expression. I can let my hair down! Making music can be quite intense — you’re subjected to 140–150 bpm for days! Writing is strictly for fun, so I started writing for this mag, doing the reviews and was reasonably successful, then when they decided they didn’t want to do it any more we kept going and we’ve never looked back! It just feels like yesterday really! Like everything it’s grown organically. I’m fanatical about music and constantly searching for new music and new artists, so as a bi-product it seems natural we can be a channel to do exposés on artists. I’m always looking out for who’s doing amazing stuff, so we’ve obviously expanded a lot — we’re doing a lot on psy trance, hardcore, and thanks to the mag I get to check out that stuff.


Upfront, Issue 27, Summer 2005


How have you built it up into what it is today? Did you ever expect it to get this big?

It’s just grown really. Everyone in our neck of the woods musically has made it their own. It’s rooted in the scene now!

You’re in the process of launching your new website. What concept do you have?

It’s definitely an organic extension of everything we’ve been doing. It’s been in development for a while. It has the same philosophy as Upfront — which was important to us from the outset — that it needs to be a practical thing, yet should be a pleasure to read and absorb. We’re hoping the same ethos will be absorbed with the website. People need information about where they can go clubbing, about what artists are up to. So many publications around can be really hard work to trawl through — it’s like listening to the weather man where you never actually absorb anything! I want it to be a pleasant experience for people like me.

You’ve been involved with a number of labels over the years and have just launched a new label, Headstrong. Could you tell us how all this come about?

Yes I’ve run a few labels! I guess the one that’s been the most important to me is E-Traxx, which I kind of got together with Mik. I think that’s been going for 5+ years. We wanted to do our own thing cos our music was a little too out there for anyone else label-wise. Lots of artists do that, so they can be in control of their material and find out if the way you’re going is the right way to go. It’s not until you take the step and manufacture records and take records out there yourself that you realize how right you are about where you’re heading.

E-Traxx has been a wonderful creative experience. The next track ’24 Hours’ is finished and has already been signed to the Tidy/Rob Tissera ‘Dirty Weekend’comp and, is already getting great feedback. As always, the E-Traxx stuff is really special to me and Mik, plus we have such a great time!

Our new label is called Headstrong and the name suits the kind of music I’ve been making. It’s kind of harder trance where E-Traxx is hard NRG. The first track is with Gaz, then the next one’s with Ben-eye & Log One who’ve had a few tracks out on Ubertruck, so the second Headstrong is there and already creating a stir! We’ve just got the artwork in for the first track and it’s very exciting. We got this punky looking model friend of mine to strike a pose with a 9mm barretta for the shot.so look out for the chick with a big gun sleeve ya can’t miss it!!

You’re playing the main stage at Antiworld’s next indoor festival @SeOne on Saturday 23 July. What can we expect from your set? Will you be beating a hasty retreat to Bristol after your set or checking out any other artists at Antiworld?

There’s so much great music so we’re going to be there all night, soaking in the atmosphere and having fun with the djs and artists. In terms of what I play, I’ll be keeping my options open until I see the crowd. I’ve got a lot of new stuff, so it’ll be big room tunes with a lot of new music! I’m really looking forward to it and spending the night there afterwards, seeing friends and having fun. There’s lots going on in the other room including two of my favourites —D.A.V.E. The Drummer and Chris Liberator—I’ll be checking the guys out as well as the superstar djs. I’m also really looking forward to the New Energy Collective. I’ve been involved with a track with Kevin that’s coming out, ‘Time and Space—NEC Live’. And that’s been going off for them for a while now so I’ll definitely be there to check that out.


Sol Ray @ Pendragon


How on earth do you juggle djing, producing, running record labels, a dj agency and a magazine and still have time to breath?

I don’t! I’ve often said, ‘Time is the enemy!’ There’s just not enough hours in the day for everything you want to do. Certainly with the production side it’s good when you’re working with other people as you have to make the time! You’ve got to be strict where you stop and finish. DJ-wise you have to commit to time with your decks and time with your music, so when we’re getting the magazine together it can be a bit chaotic! But it’s all good fun!

Finally, and I always like to finish on this question… for all the wannabe djs, producers, and wannabe magazine writers out there, what advice do you wish you’d had when you started out?

If you love it then that’s the main thing. Don’t give up! If you love making tracks and djing, definitely give yourself that and hang onto it as it’s one of the greatest things! The greatest gift you can have is to love something so much. In practical terms, connecting with people is one of the most important things when it comes to getting results. The more people you meet, the more opportunities and the more results you’ll get. Bounce tracks off other djs. Go out, meet people, and find out what’s happening in your scene and around you in your musical world. That’s one of the biggest things that’s helped me and learning from the people I’ve met. You’re more likely to absorb it and grow.

Thanks for your time Sol! Can’t wait to see you rip it up at Antiworld on Saturday 23 July!
