Mid 2024 I started to fuck around with DJing / playing out a bit more seriously... As I was also a bit done with just hearing my own music. Regarding sets and producing. This seemed a good new step/challenge. Starting from home and private parties. To also taking some bookings soon after. Almost every set has a theme, it helps me to stay motivated. All sets placed chronological on date of recording not the final upload.

DJ Sets (Digital)

All music produced, for the party, by myself or with others. Also the odd edit and/or remix of traxx I wanted to do... Played on my laptop running Abelton and a MPC40 by Akai. I'm not sure if I would call these live acts as some did...  First one was at Ouwe Stijl Is Botergeil in 2023 and last one at No New Style in 2025. 

Pardonax Acts (Digital)

Pardonax - Rattle, Shake & Roll [MOK320]

Liza 'N' Eliaz 4 Ever...

My biggest inspiration in this art called music. Her sets, her traxx and her overall personality. Man... Nobody ever comes close. Drawing inspirations from alot of styles and fusing them  together with ease. A true innovator in a small and unique world. 
She left her mark (and sadly left us too soon...)

When I saw this track coming through I wanted to remix it straight away. Thanxx to T.O.T.A. for allowing me to do so. 

R.I.P. Liza

T.O.T.A. - Liza 4 Ever (Pardonax Remix) [SWAN-231]

Pardonax - Lone Descent [SWAN-243]

Made this track initially as a goodbye to music. As the things I did, the scene & the crowd did just destroy my passion. All traxx without soul which sounded like they came from 1 person. Same goes for DJ sets. 

No experimentation just playing it safe. Also caught myself doing so sadly... Later on I made a new start and I got better at it. This got on vinyl even later on too...

Pardonax - Parting Ways [HIC 06]

Wanted to move feelings I had. Which I could never give a place no matter how much I talked about it. Or other things...

Tried something for 1.5 years which included 4 versions until I had this piece. By far the best and it helped me to let the feelings go mostly. After keeping it to myself and a select group of people for a year or so. I had the chance to release it on vinyl. 

And then it got played at a party, 4 years after the whole back story started. With 1 day difference (even the same location...). The circle was full and I could finally let it go... Finally.
Music is so wonderfull.

Pardonax - Meet Her At The Fuckparade
Pardonax & Arvid - Schlagterror
Pardonax - Fractions Of Hate

All traxx take inspiration from the old speedcore & terror netlabels/groups from the turn of the century. Alot was raw, darker, cheaper & (stylewise) against the (more) commercial scene/sound. Which always inspired me. Hence my own cheap sound. BPM wise it was also more interesting for myself... 

Please note due to shitty authorities it wasn't played at location sadly... The police shut down our truck/sound just before my set. But atleast we had a good time. This was redone at home...

Big shout out to a few people who made this possible and helped in a way.
Martina, Seph, Arvid & Eva (for sounds), Marco & Martin (Un.Core.Bar) & Thorsten (the boss)... 

Remember... The Fuckparade is a protest not a party. 

Going from 280 to 360 BPM...
This one is titled: Schlagterror (Gegen Gentrifikation)

Pardonax @ Fuckparade [14//09//2024]

Wanted to do a spacey acidcore track inspired by Lasse Steen... Thanxx to Reeza for the help realizing it and also coming up with some of the main elements.

Pardonax & Reeza - Rate Of Anger [DHM012]

First time trying to do a digital mix in front of a crowd. On a controller I hardly understand and with other people's traxx... So expect some mistakes. But luckily with Wolffy for a quick rescue where needed. Nice selection of 90s industrial, terror and harder gabber with the exclusion of one tune from after 2010...

Thanxx to Eva for trying too help me and learn it... And at the party help me through this process... Luckily it was a self organised private party... Thanxx to all who helped or attended it.

Going from 215 to 250 BPM...
This one is titled: Brainscam

Pardonax & Wolffy @ Sedation [26//10//2024]

Tracklist:
Pardonax - Fuck That (Intro)

Pardonax - FRFP (Alternative Mix)
Pardonax - Mama Mi-Ass
Frazzbass - Destrology (Pardonax Edit)
Pardonax - Italian Attitude

All traxx take inspiration from the more 8bit based hardcore. Which to me always was a bit more harsh, dark & rough in style. Often a focus on hip hop samples, guitars or stabby, dark, melodies. Also some humor and moments of dissing... Mostly made on old software and/or machines. As the software was accessible alot of people around the world used it and still do. I also took inspiration from multiple artists from around the globe... Which resulted in a creative & varied approach.

Going from 230 to 260 BPM...
This one is titled: Global Error

Pardonax @ No New Style [08//02//2025]

This is a home recording of the set I played at Underworld, the 14th of june. Initially I prepared a full 60min. set but due to lineup changes I could only play 45min. instead... As this was to be my first (solo) DJ set this felt a bit shit. For that reason I decided to upload the plannend version, so everyone who wants can experience the full set.

For this set I wanted to do an all terror(ish) hardcore. But with a twist... As all traxx are with a decent amount of pitching (either up or downwards) but the complete BPM goes downwards... Geuss you can say most traxx have a... Negative Drop. It probaly has been done before but it's a idea I always wanted to hear or do myself ever since I became obsessed with this musick.

Picture taken from a screenshot of a video of a video someone took of me with his old nokia. Thanxx Jaimy...

Thanxx to Ritchie (& crew) for the oppertunity and Eva for helping me around with Rekordbox...

Going from 270 to 245 BPM...
This one is titled: Negative Drop

Pardonax @ Underworld [14//06//2025]

The set I prepared and played for the HCBX from Scotland. Wanted to do a set with purely 92/93 sound. Almost every track pitched up a bit as some of these tunes are from the acid, house or trance corners back when anything was just... House instead of all these sub-genres. Yet you can play them all together as alot of people have proven over time... But these days it seems a anomaly. So this is my take on that technique and a tribute to my favourite year in (what I consider) hardcore, 1993.

Not perfect but far from bad, atleast for myself. Still in a learning phase. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I did making it. 

Respect to all these artists. Especially LNE who I took alot of inspiration from for this set...  But also to Andrew (Asylum) for the platform.

This one is titled: New Age Machinery

Pardonax - HCBXCAST60 - New Age Machinery [28//06//2025]

Mixed for my own private party. Which I fabricated rather quickly as I really wanted to do something too that night. Which was fun. I also suprised myself a bit, as I mixed faster as before. with 23 traxx in 46 minutes. It is however a home recording as digital hardware screwed me over at the party... 

Selection wise I was inspired by UK events like Species & North. But with no particulair set(s) or artist(s) in mind. Stylewise it's a mixture of more industrial & terror styled hardcore. 

Going from 215 to 248 BPM...
This one is titled: Digital Delirium

Pardonax @ Sedation [05//07//2025]

Pardonax & Arvid - Schlagterror [UCB011]

Pardonax - Dissenssion [Omni001]

A freestyled mix dedicated to Snoezeljan...

Breakish, Tekno-ish & Hardcore material in the mix. Nothing plannend ahead. Going per 3 traxx with no guideline... Expect mistakes, weird stuff & the unexpected. 
Mixed on 26//09//2025.

Going from 177 to 230 BPM...
This one is titled: Enter The Chronozone

Pardonax & L.S.A. - Enter The Chronozone [26//09//2025]

Mix that I did for L.S.A. his label, Aphotik Assault. I did release some stuff there over the years, mainly hardcore techno kinda material. This set mainly focusses on anything non hardcore techno. As tekno isn't restricted to just tekno, same with hardcore. Dare to combine genres!

Inspired by old tekno mixtapes from mid 90s to mid 00s... Which I started to listen too arohnd 2013 but that was more modern tekno. In older mixes you would often find many linked genres... Which I like alot. So does this mix...

Got a bit distracted at times... Lost focus. 
But everyone makes mistakes... Unless you are no human... But what are you then?

This one is titled: On The Vibe And Off The Track

Pardonax - Aphotik Mix 001 - On The Vibe And Off The Track [10//10//2025]

My second return (as Pardonax) to Berlin for the Un.Core.Bar crew. This time for a party at the historic Köpi squat near technovlinder famous Tresor. The set went better as expected. Even whilst arriving and still being a bit ill.

I went for faster terror/industrial traxx with hints of atmosphere or melodies. Alongside some ruffer edged pieces... Quite some French material even. I played many personal favourite traxx! And finally hearing them on a good system... 

It's a home recording however as I had some volume trouble at the party.

Going from 235 to 300 BPM...
This one is titled: Köpi Hardcore Razor Action

Pardonax @ Un.Core.Bar #12 [11//10//2025]

When I got into this scene in late 2011/early 2012 for me the road I took was Early Hardcore almost from the start... It had more interesting sounds, better samples and variation in energy. Atleast from what my perspective of it was compared to the then mainstream & millenium sound.

I quickly looked up CDs for those specific less played / used or just CD only traxx. But after awhile I wanted more. I heard some traxx of S37 & Sonic Overkill. They combined what I loved about metal/punk (where I came from originally...) into a more intense sound. I've got to know this as Early Terror (as we called it in NL) and then I started to focus more and more on such sounds. 

People like Miss Zelda, Frantic Freak (yes, really), Xearo, Soulkeeper, Rienos, Flowcreatorz (also individually as B-Shock & Freaky Flow), Da Machinery & Toxic Den made me discover alot of this when I started my musical journey. And made me make sure to look deeper than others would do... This mix is dedicated to them!

Eventually I would also start to look past the 1990s period for good hardcore. But most had a strong resemblance to this Early Terror sound. And went deeper and deeper. Yet I still always had a soft spot for the normal Early Hardcore (92-99ish period). So for a long time I told myself I would do a retrospective mix. 

In this mix are traxx that defined my taste and filled my need to look deeper as the generic ID&T style "hitjes" compilations... These traxx are still as good as they were 10+ years ago for me. 

So enjoy this 50/50 mix which honours the roots of myself (& perhaps... others?) 47min. of early hardcore and 47min. of early terror... Only from the period 1992-1999, no bullshit.

These days most aren't that unknown but hey... Who cares. I bet some of you will hear new traxx anyway. Expect some mistakes too! :)

So.... Remember,
Respect where you come from... As it will come full circle one day!

Going from 180 to 260 BPM.
This one is titled: Culture Vulture

Pardonax - Culture Vulture [31//10//2025]

Another freestyle recorded about a month ago with nothing plannend ahead... Only the style I wanted  too put in the spotlight.

One take and with a good result... In my opinion atleast. Inspired by the tekno parties I visited in the past. Which often came with good memories and (musical) experiences... Mostly late 90s and early 00s material.

Going from: 180 to 210 BPM...
This one is titled: Plug In, Play Out
