Chicago-born L.A. resident Jeremy Sole has been collecting vinyl from around the world for 30 years to craft his own sound. Sole’s remixes and live DJ sets are soundtracks for the “genre non-conforming”, blending or downright transcending era, style and tempo.

He has had the honor of sharing the stage and/or recording in the studio with hundreds of his inspirations over his career, including Stevie Wonder, Parliament, Roy Ayers, Chaka Khan, Moses Sumney, James Blake and many more. Sole was the last DJ to open for both Ray Charles and Gil Scott-Heron on what turned out to be their final concerts. He deejayed for Sly Stone’s birthday party, worked on music for a year with Ms. Lauryn Hill, enlisted Daptone musicians to reimagine a 1976 classic for David Bowie in his final days, and was asked to spin traditional New Orleans funeral dirges atop a giant animatronic octopus with Susan Sarandon, leading a procession of thousands through Burning Man to bring Timothy Leary’s ashes to the temple. It’s been a hell of a ride.

Sole is widely known for his weekly KCRW radio show, that just ended in it’s 18th year, where he helped break many now-major artists with their first radio plays including Black Pumas, Thee Sacred Souls, Hiatus Kaiyote, Michael Kiwanuka and The Shakes (now Alabama Shakes). He aired world radio debuts of music for Santana, Chicano Batman, Rhye, Gary Clark Jr, Aaron Frazer, Saul Williams and countless others.

Since moving to Los Angeles at the turn of the century, Sole has co-founded three ongoing parties that have developed cult-like followings and mythic reputations – AFRO FUNKÉ (2004-2014, A weekly ritual of Afrobeat and global sound) – theLIFT (2010-2017, international DJs at nomadic warehouse afterhours) – and now LE FRIQUE SONIQUE.
