Nocturne Presents Live in Concert:

SOLE - www.soleone.org

Sole recorded his first demo in 1992. At age 15, he assembled 45 Below Records, which included rapper Alias and DJ Moodswing9 (then known as Cuz the Highlander). They released the album Mad Skillz and Unpaid Billz as Northern Exposure, selling more than 300 copies. In 1997, Sole released a 12" as Live Poets with JD Walker and Moodswing9. It garnered college radio play and selling a few thousand copies.
In early 1998, Sole and rapper Pedestrian coined the name Anticon and together started a collectively-owned record label under the name. In the same year, Sole traveled to Minneapolis with Alias and Doseone. They recorded the album The Taste of Rain... Why Kneel? as Deep Puddle Dynamics with Slug of Atmosphere. Sole and Pedestrian moved Anticon to Oakland, California.
In 2000, Sole released the first official solo album Bottle of Humans on Anticon. As So-Called Artists, he released Paint by Number Songs with Alias and DJ Mayonnaise in 2001. Sole's second solo album Selling Live Water was released in 2003 and received positive reviews; Pitchfork Media gave it a 7.3,[2] Metacritic gave it a score of 77 and a user score of 9.5 out of 10.[3] Later that year, he moved to Barcelona. Two years later, he released the third solo album Live from Rome in 2005. Soon after, he moved back to the United States, relocating to Flagstaff, Arizona.[4]
In 2007, Sole released Sole and the Skyrider Band as Sole and the Skyrider Band. Their second album Plastique was released in 2009. In 2010, Sole left Anticon, citing a desire to further experiment with his music, independently of the collective, and also due to his belief that the label has developed away from what he initially intended it to be.[5] Sole and the Skyrider Band then released their third album Hello Cruel World was released in 2011 to generally positive reviews.
Aside from his official releases on Anticon, Sole has also released self-produced albums on his own imprint Black Canyon. These include various compilations of unreleased material, as well as the releases of his Man's Best Friend project. As he is no longer with Anticon, Sole currently self-releases his solo records.
Sole is currently based in Denver, Colorado. He is married to Yasamin Holland, whose name is referenced occasionally in his lyrics. Sole has also been active in the Denver outpost of the Occupy Wall Street political movement.[6]
