DJ PROMO: BIOGRAPHY
END-OF-SCHOOL parties are usually noted for the destruction of friendships and common room furniture rather than the creation of world-class DJs. But 1986 bucked that trend and a new Deity of the Decks was born.
When some friends needed help staging a school leaving party for 2000 people, Matt Solo – who would later become DJ Promo – threw together a Party Survival Kit and grabbed the helm. One rebel-rousing party later, his destiny was determined.
Less than three years later, he was managing a group of British DJs and forging connections with clubs that still stand strong today. By the early ‘90s, he was running a London record store, staging his own events and helping others promote theirs.
In 1996, Matt quit the record store and started selling promos direct to the same DJs he’d served over the counter. At the same time, Crossbar invited him to launch a new night. Sidestepping their initial approach, he instead helped promote a company that made unusual mirrors and had been asked to exhibit in the Ministry of Sound. One foot now firmly in the Ministry’s door, he caved in to Crossbar and launched the infamous Aural Sex parties – and with them, his own DJ career.
In his first year behind the decks, DJ Promo played at some of the most famous clubs in London, including Ministry of Sound, The End, Heaven, Turnmills and Hanover Grand. So respected were his skills at the decks, he was called in to sound check Liverpool’s Cream and even London’s Fabric before opening night, making him the first person to DJ on the club’s legendary system.
It was time to turn his attention overseas and he was soon playing monthly in Europe and America and was then invited to play in Toronto, Canada. In 2001, he took to the turntables on the Greek island of Kos and then Ghent in Belgium.
 
Back on British terra firma, he launched the hugely successful Good Life parties at Sub Logic – a combination of “house anthems from yesterday and tomorrow” that broke bar records. A move towards the darker, more tribal and progressive side of house followed in 2002 and he established the 3D collective with Pedro G of Portugal and Spain’s Enrique Soto.
3D went Europe-wide and the trio occupied a monthly slot on Ministry of Sound’s internet-based radio station, where they played as guests on the Secret Sessions hosted by Ruanne Emmenes with an audience of more than seven million. DJ Promo has also guested on the All About Prog show.
In early 2003, back at Sub Logic, he launched Battle of the Diamonds: an experimental night in which he, Pedro G and guests were only allowed to play three consecutive tracks – keeping the energy level high and the music varied.
By summer 2003, he had completed seven new mixes and tweaked his first album to near completion. That December, he moved to Melbourne, Australia, where he rapidly established his reputation on the club circuit and is now bracing himself to break the Guinness World Record for the longest DJ (club) session marathon, which currently stands at 84 hours.
To date, DJ Promo has played in Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Greece, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Portugal, South Africa, Spain and the USA. His style encompasses a broad spectrum of house, from the sublime jazzy sounds of Europe and the US, to funky Latin, to dirty phat Progressive, Tech and his all-time personal favourite, Tribal House.
