̸BIOGRAPHY Amid a multitude of talented artists, you suddenly find one, who is unlike the rest. A preeminent composer, SOEL's music evokes a feeling in the listener, that is at once both completely alien and deeply familiar. Milanese electronic composer and DJ, SOEL, fell in love with music at a young age, having grown up with his father's endless vinyl collection, and it was at 14 years of age, after watching the film ‘Memoirs of a Geisha’ and its accompanying soundtrack by John Williams, that he knew a career in music would be his calling. SOEL began to produce music in his adolescence, using music samples representing his originality and changing from house and dark disco to minimal to techno. His music quickly grew support from a cadre of techno artists including Tale of Us, Ellen Allien, Carl Cox, Adriatique, Solomun, Âme, Dixon, John Digweed, Konstantin (Giegling), Rødhad, Luciano, and Joseph Capriati, just to name a few. SOEL’s musical evolution, multicultural experiences, and individualism are organically reflected in his music. He's refined his unique sound to a mix of deeply emotional ambient & atmospheric techno sounds, blended with dark synths and cinematic soundscapes In February of 2020, SOEL also became a live act (in addition to his DJ sets), when he debuted his much-anticipated live act performance at the CityFox LIVE Festival in NYC where he played for over 5,000 fans. He played for them again the following summer at the grand re-opening of Brooklyn Mirage. In January of 2020, SOEL opened his own electronic label, ORACOLO Records, which has a focus on dark, atmospheric techno and cinematic ambient.
