Behind the name Solros are Ani (19) and Vladi (Sandal Wood, 21), both coming from Sofia, Bulgaria. They have been into trance music since 1999-2000. Step by step their interest grows and in 2002 they start taking part in the organization of trance parties mainly with decorations, while they make their first attempts at mixing.

The project itself has been existing since September, 2003, when they collaborated for the first time behind the decks in `Deep Down` club (Sofia). Two months later the idea for their own independently organised party was born, as well as the name, which means ‘sunflower’ in Swedish. ‘For us the sunflower symbolises the positive energy, the one that we create for ourselves and that we want to spread further to the other people through our music and decorations.’

The first party organised by Solros is `The Temple of Imagination` (January 2004, Sofia, `Tri Ushi` club). Its concept combines a more specialized direction in trance music – progressive trance and ample decoration, based on 3D objects made in collaboration with FlameArt. Guest acts are Zizo and Radiant (live). A second party follows – ‘Celestial Journey’ in March 2004 in ‘No` club. This time the style frames were broadened by the new guests: Flange (live), Alex Metchev and Tag (Magrathea), the decoration again was in accord with the idea, implied in the name of the party. Other projects by them are the music-cultural open-air ‘City Bliss’, organized together with Georgi Petrov (Isterix) in the beginning of August 2004 in SPS club (Sofia), as well as the first ever in Bulgaria ‘Earthdance’ party – The Global Festival for Peace, in September 2004 (together with Magrathea).

They have also taken part in many other events, such as: ‘Vivid Dreams’ parties, Psy Jurka (Tranzition), Deep Air, Underground U:nited, Mati Zemlya open-air, the chill-out zone for the parties with Son Kite, Peter Didjital, Stefan Ludley by HeadonEast, at the main stage next to Sally Doolally, Edoardo, Atmos, Yahel, Astrix; Vladi has played at a couple of parties in Germany and Sweden too. The kind of music that can be expected from them at parties ranges between flowing progressive and psy-progressive, as well as melodic psy trance, but their music taste is quite open – chill-out, breakbeat, progressive house, psy & tech trance. Ani also makes vocals, she has taken part in the live performances by Radiant (the live project by the formation Magrathea), as well as in the recording of some tracks produced by them.

Ani and Vladi have been inspired by artists like Ticon, Son Kite, Vibrasphere, Shaman, Tegma, FreQ, Phony Orphants, Antix, Element, Haldolium, Andromeda, Cosma, Infected Mushroom and many many more, by labels like Digital Structures, Spiral Trax, Iboga, Plusquam Records, Yellow Sunshine Explosion, Midijum, Com.Pact, Plastic Park and others. They have also gathered ideas from the international trance festivals they had visited : VooV (Germany), Samothraki Dance Festival (Greece), Boom (Portugal).
