Nathan Solo is music producer, live act, and DJ. Coming from Prague warehouse techno scene. Active over nine years in underground techno, electro, ambient and similar genres of electronic music. Analog and digital.
He started his musical journey in 2013 as a member of live act duo Binar, that was closely related to Polygon - Prague warehouse techno movement. During that time he meet many influential artists that deeply affected his music taste and inspired his own productions.
Producers like Kangding Ray, Vril, Sleeparchive, or Karenn might not seem too close to Nathan’s music but their imprint is noticeable in some parts of Nathan’s work.
His studio recordings are thoroughly researched works of precision with a little dose of experiment. When playing music live, however, he works with trial and error attitude. Nathan is researching what the machines want to say and creating man machine dialogue. Live jam or hardware improvisation one would say. His live music is an eclectic mix of moods and styles, from deep melancholic ambient textures to broken electronic music, from minimalistic bleepy techno patterns to faster tempo bangers full of distorted sounds. Nathan works with layers, textures and walls of sound, that are blending together to become a self healing journey both for him and his audience.
Outside the music world, Nathan Solo goes by the name Matěj Moravec. His daytime job is graphic design. His influence on Prague music scene is not only sonic, but visual as well – he often provides visuals for various Prague based collectives. Most notably for the XYZ Project run by Oliver Torr or recent work on Endless Illusion new website and last release of the head of the label – Exhausted Modern. The career of a graphic designer was the key reason for him to move to Lausanne in 2017. Nathan currently lives and works there.
Analog media lovers will certainly be interested in the cassette, which was released last summer on his own newly emerging label Solo Catalogue.
