BBC INTRO MIX: Dec 2024

Introducing Mix no.49 features features Reagan Grey. 

Reagan released the single "Now That You Are Gone" on Local Talk February 14th and it's a real stormer, just as this mix. You'd be a fool not to give this one a LOUD play. 
Watch out for more music from Reagan on Local Talk soon. 

Introducing No. 49 - Reagan Grey

“Inferno (extended cut)” is a cinematic descent into a modern hell — inspired by Dante’s Inferno and the apocalyptic dread of the present day. Blending atmospheric guitars, spoken-word fragments, and a slow build into total collapse, the track imagines a world where climate disaster, war, and power imbalance have pushed us beyond hope. A warning and a requiem: abandon hope, or change course.

Inferno

Political funk with teeth — a tragic satire about private healthcare and charity fetishisation, borrowing the tension of the Jaws motif.

Sharks

A slow-burning, cinematic reflection on addiction and environmental collapse — a mirror between self-destruction and the destruction of the world around us. Produced by Sam Grant (Pigs x7).

Self-Pollution

“In the Channel of a Hate Crime” is a frantic instrumental depicting the chaos and cruelty of Britain’s anti-migration rhetoric. Built around a riff inspired by In the Hall of the Mountain King and the manic energy of Danny Elfman’s Beetlejuice soundtrack, it accelerates from order into panic — a cartoonish descent into hysteria. No lyrics, just tension: fear rising, compassion sinking, and the noise of hate drowning out humanity.

In the Channel of a Hate Crime

An ambient music track made earthy by an acoustic guitar.

SOS - Sounds Of Sonata 

Sonata Collective was established in 2021, marking the official collaboration of two talented artists, ShelliOak (Kristian Smith) and Curt Lopez (Curt Lopes Faulkner Jr). Their individual sounds had already begun capturing the attention of thousands of listeners, but together they formed a dynamic duo with a vision to elevate their craft to new heights. Their upcoming releases promise to resonate deeply with even the most seasoned ravers.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, they honed their craft, developing a signature sound unmistakably their own. Yet, something was missing ... a final element to bring their creative vision full circle. This led to the formation of Sonata Collective, a project born out of their shared passion for innovation in house music.

Since then, the duo has gained recognition on some of the most respected labels in the scene, including Glasgow Underground, Origins, and Mood Child. Their work has been supported by industry heavyweights such as Solomun, Jamie Jones, Ben Sterling, Paco Osuna, MK, and Lee Foss, further cementing their reputation as rising stars.

Their standout track to date, "Simon Says" featuring the talented MC Tone Blanco, has been a game-changer. Released under Mood Child, the label helmed by Manda Moor and Sirus Hood, the track has earned high praise from none other than the legendary Solomun, who has played it to crowds worldwide.

With their unique fusion of deep, groovy beats and infectious energy, Curt Lopez and ShelliOak are poised to make a significant mark on the UK house scene, a scene already brimming with world-class talent. Sonata Collective is a name to watch, as they continue to carve out their place among the genre's finest producers and DJs.
