Solenoid has been played on NTS shows including Boom Bip, with July20_2 first played on 20 May 2014.

Solenoid is an electronic music composer based in Portland, Oregon, USA. He has explored a variety of genres, informed by electro, new wave, jazz, disco, noise, metal, classical, and avant garde music, his releases do have common elements when seen as a whole. Tracks usually feature playful and funky percussion and melodic progressions with some signature warbly synthesizer sounds. Solenoid's music develops a kind of baroque 'maximalism' (where most electro/techno/house/disco defaults toward minimalism) much in the vein of early Detroit techno (1st wave).
