Sola Rosa

From New Zealand

Fusing elements of diverse genres with skewed soundtracks…. rubbing shoulders with elements of dub, hip hop, lounge and jazz along the way. Sola Rosa's diversity walks an ever-erratic line between organic and electronic elements bewitching and beguiling ears in equal proportion. Since 1999 Sola Rosa's Andrew Spraggon has been tantalising listeners with otherworldly aural experiences, honing his craft and taking Sola Rosa from a self-released one man project to fully-fledged live powerhouse along the way. He's kept good company on the road and in the studio, Sola Rosa counting members of Dimmer, Fat Freddy's Drop, Goldenhorse, Pluto and Sommerset amongst the ranks over the years, not to mention pilfering the best members of Che Fu, King Kapisi and Anika Moa's bands and tapping the talents of internationally renowned artists like Nathan Haines and Spikey Tee. Add a succession of highly regarded releases on a slew of stunning labels including Ministry of Sound, Guidance, Different Drummer, Stereo Deluxe, and Satellite K, and you'll see why so many eager ears are always fastened on what Sola Rosa does next.
