Nathan Solo is a hardware techno live act and DJ based in Lausanne, with roots in Prague's warehouse scene.
His live sets are played entirely on machines, with no laptop: Elektron Octatrack and Syntakt, a modular synthesizer, an OTO Boum and an effects pedal. Patterns are built, stretched and broken in real time, moving between techno, electro, ambient and dub. Sets run from one hour to two, and his longest live jam lasted five hours.
Not Han Solo, though he also travels the galaxy alone with a furry companion. Two differences: it's a cat, and it stays home.
Born on planet Prague and based on planet Lausanne, he brings his spaceship to the edges of the unirave on demand. The sound is dark as deep space and gritty as the rings of Saturn: hard as uncut diamonds, or calm as the Milky Way when the sun demands it. Classic Berlin-system techno meets Neptunian electro, with nods to Raster-Noton, Semantica and the Slavic lo-fi of Russian Torrent Records.
A graphic designer by trade, he builds audio-reactive visuals for his own AV shows and for music collectives and galleries. In Lausanne he co-founded Pulse Records, which releases music digitally and on cassette, alongside zines and streetwear. His latest release is the Theropodos EP (2025).
