Sonance Bad Decisions Mix Series

After months of life getting in the way (I need to do this bit of work; I'll just watch one more episode; yeah that beer garden looks good, let's go) we're finally up and running with our new weekly podcast aka the Bad Decisions Mix Series.

Techno is our main love and that's usually what you'll hear, but we like a bit of variety and so you can expect a few different offerings from time to time.  We'll be doing a weekly rotation of the residents with a guest mix once a month as well.

Kicking things off is resident Paul Z with an hour of techno that should have your neighbours complaining in no time. If not, we'll either have to work harder or you should invite them to our next party on 22nd September at The Castle in London E1...

Till next time!

Sonance Bad Decisions Mix Series 001 - Paul Z

It's time for the second of the Bad Decisions Mix Series and this time we're handing over to J A X.  Although our parties are mainly about techno we also enjoy the housier side of things and that's why we brought her in as resident to kick things off at our events, knowing that she'd do an excellent job.

The groovier start to our parties does mean that we end up throwing dance moves that wouldn't look out of place at 11pm at a wedding, but you have to take the rough with the smooth.

If you have a similar lack of shame then you can join us at The Castle in London E1 on Friday 22nd September, until then we'll keep the weekly mixes coming for you to enjoy.

Sonance Bad Decisions Mix Series 002 - J A X

Episode 003 of our weekly mix series is here and it's time for the first guest mix. 

The wonderfully named Latex Zebra has been a key part of our line-ups ever since we started our parties and a key part of propping up the bar at the ones he wasn't playing at.

There's a reason he plays for us regularly and in this mix you'll hear it for yourself.  Capable of turning his hand to all kinds of techno, we've got a full hour here of solid dancefloor drums from a wide range of artists and including some of his own productions.  And now the temperature has dropped outside you can dance to it without the threat of melting.

We're back with the next of our free parties at The Castle in London E1 on Friday 22nd September.  Line-up to be announced very soon.

Tracklist:

01 - Fizch - Do It Again [Resilient]
02 - Axel Karakasis - On And Off [Remain]

Sonance Bad Decisions Mix Series 003 - Latex Zebra

Rounding off the first month of the Bad Decisions Mix Series we turn to Sonance co-promoter and resident B.S.E.  It's not just his hair that's been making waves recently, with a series of releases and remixes on labels such as Keep On Techno, Filth Infatuated and Toxic Recordings and this set is a perfect example of the kind of sound which has proved so successful on the dancefloor at our parties.

You can hear B.S.E along with the rest of the Sonance crew and guests tbc at our next party at The Castle in London E1 on Friday 22nd September.  Until then, enjoy the mix!

Sonance Bad Decisions Mix Series 004 - B.S.E

This week's Bad Decisions Mix Series duties fall back to resident Paul Z, who in a moment of humblebragging realised he was running out of time to get it done before going on holiday.  As a result the neighbours were given a rare treat of some techno for their Monday morning, with the slower and more melodic first few tracks perhaps not preparing them for the 147bpm acid stormers by the end.  This one certainly picks up the pace and should get you nice and alert!

Don't forget we'll be back at The Castle in London E1 on Friday 22nd September, covering all the kinds of techno you can hear in this mix and more.
