Solo Moderna remix Little Harry

the 80s Boss from Jamaica

Solo Moderna is a multi instrumentalist and works from his studio in Holland. A long list of releases and remixes, both digital and vinyl came out of his workshop. The place could best be discribed as an organised electronic mess. Consisting of own build westcoast modular synthesizers, a large amount of percussion, old vintage keyboards, chiptune modded instuments, lots of stuff giving every production a unique recognizable Solo Moderna sound. His approach to dive real deeply into music makes it sounds original, recognizable and like never heared before.
Being inspired by dubreggae producers in mixing process he likes to fiddle around with dubechos, springreverbs, filters, modulation and it's sideeffects.

LITTLE HARRY
Little Harry was born in the parish of Saint Thomas, Jamaica. He attended the Bell Rock Prep School, then to the Hampton Court Primary School, the Port Morant All Age School and Saint Thomas Technical High School. He started deejaying when he was ten years old, that is in 1979. The first Sound System he featured on was Black Lion, which played at the Land Top in Port Morant, he was at this time 12-13 years old. The owner of the sound, Gogoil, was a friend of Little Harry's.
When Little Harry went to a pushcart derby and competition in Port Morant Square at a place called Cotton Tree Toby, the owner of Aquarius sound that played that evening, let him take the microphone. It was a success. The following Sunday Little Harry had the opportunity to deejay at an Aces Disco dance that was at a place called Prospect down by the Blue Macho Beach. The same night Little Harry got a contract too deejay on the sound system.
In 1981 Little Harry entered the J.C.D.J National D.J. competition at the legendary Skateland. Even though Yellowman was the winner of the competition Little Harry was very well received. Little Harry and Yellowman became friends and were soon deejaying on the same dances. The record »Live at the Aces; Feeding in the Dance Hall« (1982) which featured Yellowman, Fathead, Jah Rubal and Little Harry was the first time Little Harrys voice was heard on record.
The following year, 1983, Little Harry started deejay for Junjo's legendary sound Volcano. He also recorded an album for Junjo a clash album between himself and fellow child deejay Billy Boyo. It was released by Greensleeves records as most of Junjo's album were at the time. Little Harry being the winner of the clash.
In 1984 Little Harry moved once again, this time to King Jammy for whom he recorded several songs. In 1986 he started deejaying for King Sturmars Hifi. And the year after he recorded one of his biggest hits, Anorexal Body, for Skengdon.
