The Park welcomes one of San Franciso's dance floor legends, DJ Solomon with an opening set by DJ Billy Lane

About Solomon: Or that’s how it might seem these days, given the proliferation of fist pumping knob-turners. But people who know music...who feel music...can easily distinguish between a laptop amateur and an electronic auteur. There’s a magic that happens in the space between, and that’s why people who know and feel and love music, love Solomon.

Solomon isn’t your everyday magician. He doesn’t know how to pull a white rabbit out of a hat, or your six of Clubs from the deck. But what the Bay Area-based DJ can do is elevate you on the dance floor. This was clear from the time of his first gig in ’89, when he used nothing more than a tape deck and CD player to transform a middle school prom into a raging pre-adolescent night club that terrified the chaperones. Ever since, he’s spread his innovative sound in clubs from here to China.

Solomon’s specialty is something he always called “Pop Turntablism.” It’s a niche of music that fuses scratching, beat juggling, word play, and live remixing with an eclectic mix of funk, soul, hip hop, house, and rock tracks. It’s a genre now popularly known as the mashup, and within this community, Solomon shines. He’s known to mix musical styles not only within their relative tempos, but also within their relative keys, allowing songs and genres to flow seamlessly from one to the next. And his stage presence is equally impressive. After so many years of performing live, he rocks the turntables with enough energy to spark a solar flare, blurring the lines between a DJ set and an epic rock show.
