Sol Calderon

About Me

Since 1996 Sol Calderon has played a significant role in shaping the house music sound of the Pacific Northwest. Sol has brought his signature mix of deep soulful jackin' house to clubs and warehouse parties up and down the West Coast, landing on stage with the likes of such artists as Derrick Carter, DJ Sneak, Mark Farina, Johnny Fiasco, Angel Alanis, and hometown inspiration Donald Glaude.
Sol started to DJ in 1995 when he got his first set of broken down turntables at the young age of 17. By 18 he got his first big break playing at a popular downtown Seattle club called “The Powerplant” every Saturday. It was there that Sol refined his DJ mixing skills and quickly became a fixture of the burgeoning Seattle rave and underground club scene. He would spend the following years regularly playing the northwest rave circuit and traveling to gigs ranging from San Francisco to Atlanta.
Both Seattle and Vancouver B.C. radio stations (Seattle’s 107.7 FM “The End”, 89.5 FM “C89” and Vancouver B.C.'s own 96.1 FM “Planet Aaj Radio”) have featured Sol Calderon on their shows reaching a large Pacific Northwest and Canadian audience. Sol maintained a five year residency at the Seattle based pioneer of live internet dance music broadcasts, Groove Technologies (www.groovetech.com) with partner DJ JoeMatt. This bi-weekly live show “Saturday School with the Professors” aired every other Saturday enabling them to reach online audiences around the world with their unique house music collaboration.
This year Sol Calderon has joined Uniting Souls Productions (www.UnitingSouls.com) as a resident DJ proudly representing their Seattle collective. Look for him this year playing with fellow Seattle residents Jon Lemmon, Jeromy Nail, and Ramiro.
Sol's funky, soulful, and energetic mixing style fills dance floors, bringing crowds of even the most discerning dance music fans together under one groove. Sol Calderon represents Seattle with a smile and energy that is synonymous with the uplifting vibe that his fans have come to expect over the years.
