About the DJ
Jeremy Sole
Chicago-born L.A. resident Jeremy Sole has been collecting vinyl from around the world for 36 years to craft his own sound. His remixes and live DJ sets are soundtracks for the “genre non-conforming”, blending or downright transcending era, style and tempo. Sole has had the honor of sharing the stage and/or recording in the studio with hundreds of his inspirations over his career, including Stevie Wonder, Parliament, Roy Ayers, Chaka Khan, Moses Sumney, James Blake and many more. Sole was the last DJ to open for both Ray Charles and Gil Scott-Heron on what turned out to be their final concerts. He deejayed for Sly Stone's birthday party, worked on music for a year with Ms. Lauryn Hill, enlisted Daptone musicians to reimagine a 1976 classic for David Bowie in his final days, and was asked to spin traditional New Orleans funeral dirges atop a giant animatronic octopus with Susan Sarandon, leading a procession of thousands through Burning Man to bring Timothy Leary’s ashes to the temple. It's been a hell of a ride. Sole is widely known for his weekly KCRW radio show, that just ended in it's 18th year, where he helped break many now-major artists with their first radio plays including Black Pumas, Thee Sacred Souls, Hiatus Kaiyote, Michael Kiwanuka and The Shakes (now Alabama Shakes). He aired world radio debuts of music for Santana, Chicano Batman, Rhye, Gary Clark Jr, Aaron Frazer, Saul Williams and countless others. You can listen back to years of the archived shows at kcrw.com/people/jeremy-sole Sole has produced remixes for DAVID BOWIE, FEMI KUTI, ALSARAH, THIEVERY CORPORATION, SOLA ROSA, ROCKY DAWUNI, NOVALIMA, CHAKA KHAN (with RASHIDA and SHEILA E.), QUANTIC, DOM LA NENA, JAZZANOVA and others. His festival performances include Coachella, Lightning In A Bottle, Bahidora, Worldwide Festival, Joshua Tree Music Fest, Calvi On The Rocks, Cosmico among others. Since moving to Los Angeles at the turn of the century, Sole has co-founded three ongoing parties that have developed cult-like followings and mythic reputations – AFRO FUNKÉ (2004-2014), theLIFT (2010-2017), and now LE FRIQUE SONIQUE. • QUOTES: “This brother plays the perfect songs!” -Dr. Cornell West "Jeremy Sole is one of the deejays that we both admire hugely and certainly check his lists and radio show ...a real sort-of bohemian of the old school variety. There aren't enough people like him left in the world of music." - Gilles Peterson (excerpt from Bonobo interview) "Beautiful choices of music... a whole different vibe." - David Lynch "If I was a DJ full time, I would most likely spin like Jeremy Sole. His mind and soul hears exactly what I hear." - Raphael Saadiq “As a selector and tastemaker Jeremy is one of the true eclectic visionaries, joining the dots of new global music." - Bonobo "Jeremy Sole is not only a world class DJ, but a world class citizen of the world. One of my favorite dudes in the game hands down, and a fucking phenomenal talent." - Rich Medina "Jeremy Sole is perhaps the most consistently versatile performer we've ever featured!" - The Do Lab (Coachella / Lightning In A Bottle) "Jeremy's in my top 2 for good global dancefloor DJs." - Nickodemus “One of the only successful AND good DJs in LA (those are usually mutually exclusive)." - Peanut Butter Wolf (owner, Stones Throw records) “Jeremy constantly shatters World Music boundaries and catapults his audience on a sublime international journey." - DJ Nu-Mark "Jeremy has that rare mix of not only being an exquisite and eclectic selector but also a fabulous human being. He never ceases to amaze with his ever changing but always interesting selections. It’s always a joy to hear him play, a true legend." - Danny McLewin (Psychemagik)
