Goldman Sachs’ resident DJ may just have the song of the summer.
David Solomon, the bank’s president and part-time electronic dance music mix master, released his first single in early June, called « Don’t Stop, » Business Insider has learned. Available on Spotify and Apple Music under the name D-Sol, the tune is a dance remix of the popular song first released by Fleetwood Mac in 1977.
Spotify has already put the song into three of its mixes, including « Happy Summer Beats » and « Fresh Electronic. »
« Don’t Stop » was produced by Crowd Records, a New York-based electronic-music label whose other artists include Disco Killerz, Filthy Rich, and Solomon’s pal Liquid Todd.
D-Sol has over 425,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
First uncovered by The New York Times last year, the side gig of the heir apparent to CEO Lloyd Blankfein has remained a hot topic within Goldman. Solomon hasn’t shied away from the hobby, reportedly using it as a way to win the Spotify initial public offering and speaking about it publicly on many occasions. He also recently traveled to Stockholm to speak at a Spotify conference.
On an episode of the podcast « Exchanges at Goldman Sachs, » Solomon described himself as a lifelong audiophile intrigued by the modern music industry.
« Five, seven years ago, I started really kind of taking note of club and EDM music and what was happening with all the electronic music, » Solomon said. « I said, ‘You know, I like some of this music,’ and started playing around with it, started reading about these DJs that really had these incredible platforms. »
He added: « Kind of stumbled into it as a hobby, and now I just do it for fun. »
