SOLR is a drum and bass producer and DJ working primarily in liquid drum & bass. His releases appear on Liquicity, Fokuz Recordings and Celsius Recordings. Notable credits include the single "Lost In You" on Liquicity, the track "Shatter" from the Kupalo EP on Fokuz Recordings, and the Painted Clouds EP on Celsius Recordings. SOLR also maintains a SoundCloud profile under the handle solrdnb and his tracks are listed on liquid DnB playlists and on the release pages of the labels above.
Public biographical detail on SOLR is limited. What is verifiable is his emergence through label releases and streaming platforms: he has used Liquicity, Fokuz and Celsius as release outlets and has a visible artist presence via SoundCloud (solrdnb). Those label placements indicate a focus on the liquid side of drum and bass and have been the primary route by which his music has reached listeners and playlist curators.
As a producer, SOLR’s work leans toward melody-driven, atmosphere-first drum & bass. Across releases such as "Lost In You" and the Painted Clouds EP he centers layered pads and sustained harmonic elements alongside programmed breakbeats. His tracks combine smooth, rolling drum patterns with cleary mixed low end; production choices favor warm sub-bass and midrange clarity so melodic elements remain upfront while the kick/sub pocket stays defined.
In production technique, SOLR commonly uses sustained ambient textures, tasteful vocal or melodic chops, and clean transient processing on snares and hats to keep the rhythm articulated at 170–175 BPM. Sidechain-style ducking between pads and bass is audible on his label work, creating the characteristic pulsing movement that supports vocal lines or lead motifs. Where tracks call for a tighter dancefloor feel, drums are layered with crisp transient shaping and controlled compression; where the release leans more to listening, the arrangements open up with reverb-dressed pads and delay automation.
Career highlights are the three label placements named above. "Lost In You" (Liquicity) positioned SOLR on one of liquid DnB’s key channels; "Shatter" appears on the Kupalo EP released by Fokuz Recordings; and the Painted Clouds EP was issued on Celsius Recordings. Those releases are the concrete markers of his contribution: original productions that feed playlist curators and label catalogues within the liquid subgenre. He also keeps music available and promoted through his SoundCloud account, which appears under the username solrdnb.
