After selling out The Warehouse Project at the end of last year, the pair kicked off 2018 with their second sold-out Solardo Sessions UK tour which also included European dates in Barcelona, Milan and Rotterdam. Following this, they completed a relentless stint of shows in the States, which included sets at Movement Detroit and EDC Las Vegas. Over the past 12 months, they have also completed successful tours worldwide, across the likes of Australia and South America, alongside countless festival shows at Glastonbury, Lovebox, Tomorrowland, Hideout and Parklife, the latter seeing the pair play two shows this year, including being one of the headliners on the Hangar stage in front of a crowd of 14,000 people.
Not stopping there, Mark & James contributed to Pete Tongโs career-defining Essential Mix series on BBC Radio 1, before landing an acclaimed residency alongside Eric Prydz at Hรฏ Ibiza, ticking off another Balearic superclub having previously performed at Circoloco and Paradise at DC-10.
Starting in July, the 12-week residency sees the likes of Pirate Copy, Lauren Lane, Monki, Huxley, and Secondcity play in the club room alongside the Mancunian duo every week, and follows Solardoโs recent accolades, which have seen the duo crowned DJ Magโs Best Breakthrough DJs of 2016 and Best Duo of 2017.
Touring and music aside, the duo have even found time to start their own radio show named โThe Spotโ which has seen special guests come through such as Claude VonStroke, Nicole Moudaber, MK, Skream and many more. The support for Solardo has been consistently across the board and as solid as the bass weight their tracks possess.
On the Corner
Solardo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cocaine
I know kids of 15-16 years old
They can multiply 100 dollars
Into 500 dollars
In less then 4 hours
Doing drugs
And they are very proud of that thing
Cocaine
Cocaine
The lyrics of Solardo's "On The Corner" address the issue of drug use and drug trafficking among young people. The chorus repeats the word "cocaine" twice, emphasizing the central role that this drug plays in the lives of many teenagers who are involved in drug dealing. The verses describe the success of some of these young drug dealers, who are able to turn $100 into $500 in just four hours.
The lyrics depict a troubling reality in which drugs are seen as a quick and easy way to make money, and where young people take pride in their ability to sell drugs. There is a sense of moral ambiguity in the song as it describes this world: there is sympathy for the difficult circumstances that might lead young people to engage in drug dealing, but also recognition of the destructive impact that this activity can have on their lives and the lives of others.
Overall, "On The Corner" is a critique of the drug trade and the social and economic conditions that make it possible. It is a powerful reminder of the complex and painful realities that young people face in certain communities, and a call to action to address these underlying issues.
