sola system

88 listings in 27 named rooms, over the last three years

Raised between three continents, borders and genres aren’t boundaries when sola system weaves sonic tapestries - from global club and bad bitch rap to percussive bass and shimmery house, sola system’s goal is to make you move.

sola system is driven by a desire to connect QTPOC communities through music. sola system is a co-founder of ABEG NYC, a collective by and for queer Africans, and SLICK DOWN, a collective focused on electronic music’s roots in black culture. they are a resident on 8 Ball Radio and host their party HYPNOSIS quarterly.

Their rooms

One tick a night, on the one axis this page has — Aug 2023, where the listings start, to Jan 2027, the last night anybody has announced. The shaded end has not happened yet.

Aug 2023Jan 2027
3 more rooms they have played twice or more

Once each: Jolene Sound Room Brooklyn, The Bush Dyke Bar, LoHi, 53 Scott Ave, Eavesdrop, The Living Gallery, Mi Sabor Cafe, H0L0, Anything, Cafe Erzulie, Mad Tropical, The Sultan Room, Telephone, Xpizza, The Bar at Café Kitsuné and All Night Skate. Three of the 88 listings never named a room, and are not counted as one.

Who they play with

Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.

Simisola has stood on 1 of these bills. Simisola is one of the names sola system records under, so they are named here rather than counted as company. — their aliases on Resident Advisor
