SSO + MUD = MEMORABLE EVENTS.

Building upon our great tradition, we celebrate Soul Sessions Oslo’s and MUD Sessions 6th year of collaboration during House Night at Soul Sessions Extended festival. As always, at SSO and MUD we’re committed to highlight top-tier artistry through our bookings, to shake one’s mind, body and soul on the dance floor. Last year Marcia Carr delivered a special DJ-set as she graced House Night with her dope selection of music. We intend to build upon last year's success and elevate that experience at House Night 2025. And this year we’re not HOLDING BACK. All the bells and whistles on this year's booking, as we welcome a quite sought after artist. Celebrated through and through, both for his musical artistry and cultural awareness, it’s our honor and great pleasure to welcome the and only BODDHI SATVA.

His global reach spans cities like Lisbon, London, Brussels, Bamako, Dakar, Nairobi, Singapore, and Bali, reshaping the worldwide electronic landscape.
His albums—Invocation (2012), Transition (2016), Manifestation (2022), and In Spite of Everything (2024)—mark artistic milestones. “Manifestation” was DJ Mag’s “Album of the Month,” while “In Spite of Everything” earned praise in GQ and Forbes Afrique. His vast discography includes numerous singles, remixes, and genre-spanning collaborations.
Boddhi has worked with Grammy-winner Oumou Sangaré, Davido, Teedra Moses, Raheem DeVaughn, Bilal, Stonebwoy, and Busy Signal.

Repeating last year’s success, where Markus Benjamin provided that extra touch with his percussion, we invite a well seasoned musician representing the West African diaspora both locally and abroad, to grace the stage during Boddhi Satva’s DJ-set. No-frills, just LIVE and direct percussive magic, we welcome Solo Diarra.
----------
Solo Diarra:
Was born into a respected griot family in Burkina Faso, inheriting a deep musical legacy passed down through generations. From a young age, he mastered traditional West African instruments such as the djembe, ngoni, balafon, and calabash. In 2015, he released his first EP, marking the beginning of a career rooted in both preservation and innovation.
His debut album Yimenga blends ancestral rhythms with contemporary jazz, creating a distinctive afro-fusion sound. Based in Oslo for over a decade, Solo has become a vital presence in the Nordic music scene, performing at major venues and festivals.
Beyond the stage, he is a skilled craftsman who hand-builds traditional instruments, preserving ancient knowledge. Through his music and craftsmanship, Solo bridges generations and cultures, celebrating tradition while exploring new artistic frontiers.
