‘House Music A Vida Toda’ is all about energy. It’s Portuguese for House Music All Life Long. This message isn’t new, but the way it is conveyed definitely is. When people listen to this, I want them to channel the hype that the song intends to deliver. I want people jumping and feeling the jungle-like rhythm”, shares Soleil Carrillo on his latest radiant transmission.
On the production itself, Soleil continues, “I used Keys N Crates as inspiration for this track, mostly taking influence from their percussive elements. Although it does not have the conventional clap/snare on the 2 and 4, it still uses the same electronic sounds you would find in house music. For each build and drop, I introduce new elements such as the hi hat in the second build and drop or the siren in the third build and drop. I used a very low tom to complement the sub bass line to give the low end some mmphh.” The collection comes complete with renditions for multiple occasions, including the tech house version from the notorious Kebab & Cream.
The burgeoning talent is coming up through his residency at the finely-tuned venue, Upstairs in Victoria, British Columbia, opening for the likes of AYYBO, as well as finding himself in-the-mix during recent appearances at Amsterdam Dance Event and a Coachella satellite party.
With Panamanian roots Soleil Carrillo has also brought his sound to the Caribbean, drawing inspiration from global rhythms and coastal dance floor energy. Splitting time between the Americas and Europe, he has built a reputation for delivering dynamic sets that move fluidly across genres. While recent collaborations with legendary house vocalists Ron Carroll and Terri B!, which climbed multiple Traxsource charts, as well as his work alongside Eric Redd, reflect his place within the house music culture.
Initially drawn into dance music through Defected Records, Daft Punk, and Disclosure, Soleil Carrillo continues refining a sound that is all his.
You will also find Soleil performing as part of SOLISA, dance music’s signature brother-sister duo with Isa Carrillo, who will be making their Ibiza debut at the island hot spot VYBE on Thursday, April 23 under Head Studios and Meritocracy Records‘ curation.
Over the past 18 years Carrillo Music Group has showcased core house artists including Ron Carroll, Ralphi Rosario, Rosabel, Eddie Amador, Terri B!, Eric Redd, Julissa Veloz, and founder Rod Carrillo, alongside internationally recognized acts like Warp Brothers. The label’s momentum as one of the top 10 dance labels in the United States named by Billboard also continues with their latest release from DJ MAX of Welcome To The Club on HR2 – Croatian National Public Radio Channel 2 since 1996.
