"Since the early 90s, Solar has been a cornerstone of San Francisco's underground club scene. Through seminal parties Sunset Sound System and No Way Back, he has enthusiastically pushed techno, EBM, electro and house to Bay Area dancers - a role that has steadily gained him a glowing reputation on the universal circuit. Dirtybird founder Justin Martin calls him the best DJ in the world - see for yourself at The Loco Klub, where he plays alongside Viscera and Continuous Movement residents.
