For over a decade Orgone has been steaming up nightclubs and drenching the largest music festivals in the country in sweat. Serving a cold-blooded concoction of deep soul, rare funk, and afro-disco with a raw rock star edge that is uniquely LA, Orgone’s music grabs you by the collar, pulls you to your feet, and shoves you out onto the dance floor. Tough, sexy, and adventurous, this sonic muscle car shifts through multiple gears from slyly slinky to seismically cinematic, while remaining spacious and uncluttered. eMusic says: “Their music is terrifically unfussy, big slabs of grizzled R&B, greasy as fatback, and thick as a very particular kind of smoke.” For their searing live performances and warm, dirty homegrown recordings, Orgone has been called “One of the heaviest acts we’ve heard in years” by Dusty Groove America.
The band is a symbiosis of eight seasoned musicians, at the core of which are keyboardist Dan Hastie and guitarist Sergio Rios who started creating classic sounds as green teens brought together by a mutual affinity for raw soul recordings. Members of Orgone have collaborated/performed with the Roots, Al Green, Gil Scott-Heron, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Breakestra, Thievery Corporation, and the Monophonics. As tight in the studio as they are on stage, …as the backing band on Cee Lo Green’s multiple Grammy Award-winning track “Fool for You” and Alicia Keys’ “As I Am” album.
Up front and unmistakable is Adryon de Leon, Orgone’s lightning rod, whose hearty, agile vocals are an intoxicating foil to the gritty intensity of the band. Orgone is currently getting their hands dirty in KillionSound, their Fortress of Soulitude, injecting the pure, passionate heat of their live sound into wax. Throughout this year, the band will maintain a strong touring presence while tantalizing crowds with new material from their upcoming album, which will be released into the wild in the Fall of 2014.

Created by three lifelong friends in the mountains of Topanga Canyon, Soluzion seamlessly blends funk, soul, afro-latin, and jazz influences to create a fiery psychedelic experience that resonates with the audience. The groups three core members have been playing together since they were 12 years old forming an unrivaled bond.
Topanga is known as L.A.'s countryside getaway, and was a haven for musicians and artists in the late 1960's. Neil Young, Canned Heat, Billy Preston, Crosby Stills Nash, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, and Woody Guthrie all have strong ties to Topanga Canyon. Strongly influenced by the rich musical history and culture in Topanga, Soluzion looks to carry on the torch, and keep this monumental musical heritage alive.
The progression, chemistry, and methodic devotion of this tight-knit group is evident during their performances and crisp studio sessions. Known for their dynamic and electrifying live performances, Soluzion functions as enigmatic out-of-body musical entity that forces the crowd to symbiotically move their feet and dance as if their is no tomorrow.
Recently opening for the Monophonics, and recording tracks with L.A's very own Orgone; Soluzion pulls from their early influences of Sly and the Family Stone, The Meters, Nina Simone , War, Santana, and Hendrix, and creates their own soulful funky psychedelic eclectic genre.
Soluzion consists of Terin Ector (lead vocals/bass), a natural raw talent with a diverse musical background, and was taught by his father (Joel Ector) and uncle (Tambu Ector) how to play instruments at a very young age. His voice is smooth and soulful, similar to a Curtis Mayfield or Stevie Wonder, but also gritty and organic. A strong Bob Marley, Eric Burdon, and Jorge Ben Jor influence can be heard in his voice as well. Aquiles Lito Magana's (guitar) passion and energy is evident during his riveting solos, which sound like a blend of Hendrix and Santana. Some of his other influences include; Eddie Hazel (Parliament Funkadelic), Leo Noncetilli (The Meters), and Mickey Melchiondo (Ween). www.soluziontheband.com
