We are honored to announce the debut album from Vin Sol, who’s taken club-goers on a trip with his tracks and sets for the past two decades. Vin Sol is a third-generation San Franciscan of Salvadorean descent who has released on Unknown to the Unknown, Clone, Delft, Honey Soundsystem, and Ultramajic. His DJ sets expertly span the genres of house, electro, techno, italo, disco, soul, funk, and whatever other finds he digs up. He’s also a musical partner of Matrixxman, AKA Charlie Duff, with whom he started the Soo Wavey label. His current focus is on the wild monthly party and label Club Lonely, which he runs with Primo Pitino and Jeremy Castillo.

‘Planet Trash’ consists of 10 tracks spread across 2 slabs of vinyl and a bonus flexi disc. Vin started working on the album in the winter of 2017 while taking a break from making club tracks. Simultaneously he also wanted to disconnect from the grip of the internet and 24 hour news cycle. Spending more time outside, he became entranced by the Bay Area fog. Sutro Tower wholly enveloped in mist is a view that inspired the ambient tracks on the album. You will also hear hints of the Latin freestyle and classic acid that informed Vin's youth. By spring of 2018 Vin headed to Berlin to finish the album and work on a collaboration with Matrixxman, an homage to SF musical institution Bottom of the Hill that kicks off side C. Vin's musical approach is honest, using the tools of the trade to both innovate upon and pay respect to classic forms. All songs have been mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Each copy is housed in a jacket using photos by Vin Sol, and designed by Kevin McCaughey of Boot Boyz Biz. It includes a 4-color giant newsprint fold-out poster and golden flexi disc. More

Vin Sol has arrived back on the scene with his outstanding and varied album on Dark Entries. On his debit Craigie Knowes EP however it's back to the gritty stuff. Acid, ghetto tech and slammin' house jams. It is an EP of club rocking beats from beginning to end. More

There is no artist in the history of our label that we have given a harder time to than Vin Sol. At some point between us rejecting killer track after killer track he must have given up, pushing out his orphan tunes on other labels while we took our sweet time. We finally made our peace, and selected the four tracks that encompass the Moonchild EP you have here... You see, Vin and Hny have history and to make this marriage official we needed it to be just right. Big daddy Vincente might be known around the world for his sure-fire dance-floor bombs, but not as commonly known for his Queer Ally reputation in San Francisco. Using his production prowess and dj knowledge to help bring up the Bay Area gay dance scene has built him a fanbase of all walks of life. We think this might be his most accomplished musical work to date, not just because it is for our label, but because it's a labor of love. The EP reads like a metaphor for the two sides of the city where it was made. Moonchild and Electrical Storms reminisce the mystical and spiritual love affair San Francisco has had since the 60s while Patronize and Bondage Taped reference the sexually adventurous side the city indoctrinates to all its visitors. This record feels big to us and mostly because it reps our home and a hometown hero so hard. Enjoy. More

Creepin' in plays with the gray areas that exist between genres, contrasting with the clarity of the digital synths and over saturated analog drums. Next up Ineffekt is acid electro cut with thrashing percussion held together with 808 drums. Red Alert is the only track with a vocal. Classic Roland drums, deep sub and hardware synths mixed with the hypnotic vocal overlays make this one for the freaks. Sky Pager is slow cooked mid 90's jacking business, the kind I'm known for. 808 Trash Pile is an acid hammer of a cut with the drum and synth doing a maniacal game of call and response.
More than ever I used digital and analog together creating more sinister vibes on these tracks. The tracks for me also reside in a gray area that is in between house and techno and at the same time analog and digital. More

Although this is the first release Vin Sol has put out through Ultramajic you can't help but appreciate their synchronicity, both the label and Vin Sol have an uncompromising vision for their work.

Club Lonely's first 12 Inch coming from San Francisco drum machine freak Vin Sol. Vinyl Only wild Chicago trax for club destruction. West coast producer and Clone affiliate Vin Sol has been steadily banging the box creating his twisted takes on house, techno and whatever weird ass grey area that exists between the two. His sound is uncompromising; carefully crafted trax for the dance floor hinging on raw and stripped back grooves with relentless movement. This sentiment is also expertly conveyed in his DJ sets and mixes. Whether it's releasing house 12's with Tyree Cooper on vocals, sultry edits of the high priestess of Balearic Soul Sade with long-time collaborator and partner in Soo Wavey records Matrixxman, or creating straight up jacking mayhem for Clone Jack For Daze, Vin is paving his own distinct path of musical expression.
