| Mixshows |
Andre Solaris delivers
his signature mix of progressive, tech, electro, tribal house
and new school breaks, weekly on these FM, Satellite, and Web
radio stations. With weekly one and two-hour shows Andre keeps
it real with choice progressive cuts from his collection. Although
the selections oscillate around progressive and global house,
the mixes often feature tracks not necessarily expected. Nevertheless,
the placement and delivery is right-on and the flow is immaculate.
Just as it is live on the dancefloor. All studio- recorded mixes
are live sessions and Andre is
currently using
Final Scratch 2™ with Traktor
DJ Studio™ to produce the mixes. |

As
of July 31, 2007 the network management decided to remove a
large number of mixshows from its 24/7 House Music channel "The
Move". Andre Solaris' Fuel
fell into the pack and it is officially no longer featured every
week. It is rather unfortunate that the excellent selection
of shows has been narrowed down in lieu of playing individual
(mostly vocal and/or deep) House tracks. Nonetheless, it's been
a blast providing my Future House music selections (in a mixed
form) to such a huge audience. Through "The System"
and "The Move" I have been involved with XM for over
5 years and I truly appreciate the opportunity. The show must
go on though, and after a good number of experiences (look below)
with various FM and XM broadcasters I have decided to stick
to one format where the ultimate decision on whether the show
stays or not is mine. Via the podcast, not only will I be able
to deliver whatever music I feel is worthy the exposure but
also do it on a schedule I choose, provide sets that are not
limited to 1 hour blocks, and be able to reach millions across
the globe. Oh, yes and it's FREE TO YOU!
Along with over a thousand hours of mix sets in my archive that
I will selectively feature, you can expect brand new ones showcasing
my hand picked selections from producers from around the world
as well as my own from the Electric Playground Studio.
Click, relax, crank it up, and enjoy ! |

infiltrate the United States coast-to-coast. "Acclaimed
Chicago DJ Andre Solaris leaves the ordinary behind with Departures.
Mixing beats from tribal house to breaks and progressive house,
this electronic dance mixshow takes off to points unknown every
Saturday Night. It's all custom designed for SIRIUS Remix and
departing from gate 62!". Saturdays (10
pm ET) Rebroadcast Tuesdays @ Midnight. The show ended unexpectedly
as the big guns at Sirius finally decided that they cannot support
a show from a DJ whom is also featured on their rival's, XM
Radio's top dance channel. A choice had to be made. Thank you
for the few month run. |

Chicago's
flagship mix-show, solely dedicated to underground electronic
dance music that ran for 5 1/2 years had suddenly got the boot.
The program staff of WQKX "Q101FM" decided that the
6 hour Saturday night slot should remain true to their daytime
alternative rock programming and cancelled this great show.
Joey Swanson, the host and originator of the show will take
it along with its listeners to the "greener pastures"
and hopefully it will re-emerge on Chicago's FM soon. Joey Swanson,
introduced brand new sets from Chicago's top DJs as well as
some out-of-town listen_on_line. The 'Sonic Boom' family also
included : Lego, Danny The Wildchild, Nosmo, John Curley, Psycho
Bitch, Teri Bristol, D:Fuse, Green Velvet, DJ Rap. and Little
Louie Vega. With a wide spectrum of sound, the show covered
almost every genre, strictly sticking to quality and proper
representation of today's club music.
During his over 1 1/2 year residency Andre Solaris delivered
his exclusive Breaks mix every Saturday night after 10pm
CST.

In
early 2003, Andre Solaris enjoyed a short run of his residency
on Chicago's biggest urban dance music station - WBBM-FM B96.3.
A 7 week stay with the station's mixshow created quite a big
buzz around the city as the station had, for the first time,
included proper global progressive house in their mix-show.
Andre's segment, The Sound Of The Global Underground
has been quickly noticed by the city's most respectable mix-show
and its host, "Sonic Boom" (above) and the rest, as
they say, is history.
