Solarity are a duo from London, UK who entered the dancefloor spotlight via Anjunadeep in 2009 with a string of high-quality releases ("DNA/Long 41", "Terminal 6", "Logger Riddem/Mantis"). They quickly rose to become label favorites, being featured on the slick "Anjunadeep:02" compilation and having 3 more releases under their name in 2010 ("Diophantine/Red", "Part-Time Hero/Anti-Hero" and "Start"). And if writing original music wasn't enough, Solarity also successfully remixed Michael Cassette, Mango and PROFF, to name but a few.
Renowned exclusively for their progressive house sound, it's unusual to think about Solarity as anything else than progressive. However, it seems that their musical roots go far deeper than that and "Escape From Dystopia" proves it: a drum n bass track that takes one back to Good Looking Records' golden days in the late 90s.
This track is available for FREE on Solarity's Soundcloud page and it would be a shame if you didn't take that opportunity:

Oliver Smith - Sunday
Anjunadeep has been my favorite EDM label for the past 3 years. Their unique blend of house, trance and funkyness earned them a solid fanbase and the respect of the music industry for being utterly different than the norm. Launched in 2005 and currently on its 74th release, Anjunadeep is not only one of the best, but also one of the busiest labels around, having released one brilliant mix compilation in February("Anjunadeep:02") and 14 singles since the beginning of this year alone. It's the perfect exception from the "less is more" rule.
One of the most prominent artists on Anjunadeep's sister label, Anjunabeats (ran by producer/DJ trio Above & Beyond and mainly focusing on trance) is Oliver Smith, a man who's been at the forefront of trance music for the past 10 years with constant success. With "Sunday" (and with a previous track, "Pacific", for that matter), Smith demonstrates his production skills' range goes beyond the borders of trance and into the wonderful melodic house realm of the Anjunadeep sound.
