Off to see him play Sankeys tomorrow. What should I expect from him music wise? Is it all slowed down house/disco or does it get banging at any point?

You've pretty much summed it up nicely. But he will throw some curve-balls in there: bit of Bowie, Chem Brothers, Eurythmics. Really is a journey he takes you on. His style is really unique. I wouldn't call it "banging" per se, but whatever it is, it just works! You will have a super time, I'm sure!

All sorts - but good stuff. I regularly put this on in the gym when I need cheering up through another hour of self-inflicted pain roll .. groovy and entirely repeatable

absolutely. I got my fair share of him this past summer and I mostly really liked his sets. am also not a fan when it's too 'nicey nicey' (i do like it, but not at a club), but when he's in the right mood - wow. not the best technically (mixing) I often think, but he totally makes up with his track selection.

Just went to the Diynamic label party/Cityfox in Brooklyn, NY. He smashed it ...was quite a party! HOSH also played an awesome set in the second room.

I have been to both, i preferred Sankeys. When i saw Solly there, he played much more freely than Ive seen him anywhere. It was also the first time I saw him (Sept 2013). I've seen him since, in Pacha-Ibiza, Story-Miami, Space-Miami (label party), Cova Santa-Ibiza, Warehouse Party-Brooklyn (label party) and i think right after he finished his 2013 ibiza season he started to switch to more of a dark/techno sound and stick with it for the most part. Everytime ive seen him since Neon Nights he's stuck to a similar style except playing a bit housey-er at the miami music week label party but that was an 8am-10am set on the terrace so it was expected. His neon nights set included a couple of hip hop songs, and a little touch of disco as well. Certainly floated through some different styles. Still one of my all time favorite sets from anyone, and definitely is what got me hooked on diynamic.

Also to add to that, he closed his Sankeys set by mixing 50 Cent/The Game- Hate it or Love it with something that just had an absolutely raw techno bassline and when the beat dropped Sankeys went absolutely nuts. Could have been the 5-6 shots people had bought and brought him during his set, but thats just something i have never seen again from him. Also if you listen to his essential mix which came out in 2012, there is a lot of hip hop/disco/house throw in there. His style has evolved, and he remains my favorite dj but i do wish hed throw some curveballs like he used too

I have no idea whether the 'music' has been dubbed on or not, but there's something about the way he prances about and the groupies behind him that i find a bit repulsive. The DJs i like let the music do the talking..
