Mix Series

SOLACE SPACE 001 ✼ BULL HORRIS (@user-586040792)

Nostalgia tinged melodies, grooved-out bouncey basslines and uplifting vocals are just a few key elements that can be found when you come upon a dancefloor commanded by our first guest.

Bull Horris steps up for mix número uno with 66 minutes of pure tripped out euphoria. Link in bio.

“This mix has a load of recent releases out by artists and labels that have really been exciting me the last while, like Step Ball & Chain, Axces, Maara and Peaches to name a few. Mixed in with a few old school and other tracks close to my heart (Small Bear's 'Trance Analysis'), there's more styles of dance music in there than I'm usually comfortable with having together but they all seemed necessary. There's anything from trancey-happy house moments to the harder techno peak time ones, mainly though I'm hoping that the thing about each track that made me obsess over them came through for your ears. Jumping up the BPMs like that always excites me so I hope it does for those listening too.”

SOLACE SPACE 002 ✼ @aguilaofficial

Something about our second mix in the series feels like it was recorded in a Chicago warehouse in the early 90s and only recently unearthed from the archives. It simultaneously takes us back while staying present and forward thinking.

Aguila supplies us with an hour long mix, dotted with acid basslines, inspiring vocals, and progressive melodies throughout.

"The selections were inspired where I was last year and also inspired by a party I played at as well. Last summer was a hard time and I pivoted more towards techno to cope (especially the more melodic Detroit sounding-kind; hope for the future) and proper tech house for those all-out-dance moments. A lot of these also inspired an upcoming EP out soon.

All of these tracks essentially were what I was listening to at the moment, alongside a heavy dose of 90s R&B. Very much “in-my-feelings” sorta time, hahaha. I’m sure it definitely comes out towards the beginning of the mix."

SOLACE SPACE 003 ✼ @feargaloconnell

An hour of dancefloor delights and revitalising rhythms from @fuaimdub co-founder.

"I recorded this mix just as clubs were finally opening up again here in January and I think a lot of the tracks that came through were a reflection of what I wanted to hear out on a proper club system. There’s some early goa records I picked up over the summer (lots of them inspired by parties like SUB:SYSTEM, Whomp, etc.) and a lot of the more modern sounds from Aussie producers and labels like Jon Jones, DMO, Reflex Blue, etc. Hope you enjoy!"

SOLACE SPACE 004 ✼ @sun-citadel

Swedish four-piece Sun Citadel Club taking us on a 30 year journey through an 80 minute selection masterclass of progressive and techy rollers.

“We have a long and deep love for 90s progressive house and wanted a chance to combine these gems with newly produced house tunes with the same atmosphere and instruments. Not only this combined love, which has followed us, formed us and deepened over the years, but also the exclusively groovy, warm and immense feeling of joy of being in the woods inspired this mix. We love throwing parties outdoors and handled our craving for the (short :/ ) Swedish summer by warming up with this mix.”

The Energy Workshop hiatus is over.
A huge welcome to @tangeladj.
Eora based Tangela is on high rotation and frequently booked due to her highly developed aptitude to adapt to any dancefloor. 
Tangela has been gigging hard and as a contrast to a lot of her bookings, wanted to make something introspective and thoughtful.
A deep thought out piece that reflects her musical influences and takes you on a journey that spans multiple genres.
An absolute privilege to have her contribute to the series.
Enjoy,
stretch and flex!

Groove is in the heart of this mix from Sister System - keeping the summer mood alive as we head into the final weeks of the season. 

"This was recorded live from a party in New York this summer. Summer is my favourite season, so I included all my favourite feel good rollers and I always make sure to include some Miami heat from the homies, a whole lotta love here.” - Sister System 

The Miami-based DJ has recently lain shed a new party series with Jonny From Space and True Vince called Objects Don’t Dance which stemmed from a monthly radio show on Klangbox Radio. They kicked off the series with an all-night-long b2b True Vine and have also booked the likes of Sepher, Mozhgan, Peach and Aurora Halal. Sister System is also affiliated with Floyd, Space, III Points and Omnidisc.

Untitled 909 Podcast 131: Sister System

Furtive is a full-gonzo polychromatic rave conjurer and a relentless creative tinkerer. A Philadelphia-based producer, DJ, and DIY underground event organizer with over a decade of experience in the studio, Furtive's production wizardry has allowed them to land releases on a variety of US and overseas labels - including their first vinyl EP in spring 2022, with another coming soon - along with a slew of tracks on VA compilations and dozens of their own self-released cuts. Furtive’s body of work comprises psychedelic warphole-diving techno, quirky and muscular electro, acerbic acid tracks, moving ambient atmospheres, and drum & bass bin-rattlers. Furtive cut their teeth as a DJ and promoter/DIY organizer in Washington, DC’s warehouses, where they also played a turnkey role in putting on some of the District’s zaniest techno parties. They now co-run an intimate off-the-books venue in Philly. As a DJ, they’ve supported internationally celebrated no-nonsense acts and have routinely held court in precious warehouses and dingy local watering holes - always with eclectic selections and a steadfast focus on pacing and dynamics, regularly jumping genres to build moving and impactful sets. Beyond the fog and strobe lights, Furtive creates art in a variety of mediums, including linocuts, render art, inky drawings, and occasionally tattooing.

Influences: I wouldn’t have pursued music without the encouragement of my mom & grandmother, so they are my main influences for sure. Musically, I've been loving this current wave of femme music producers who are dominating the club scene right now, like: Kim Anh, Ciel, Tomu DJ, JiaLing, Bored Lord; just too many to thank...
 
Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: Club Moniker (SF), HydeFM (SF), Lowergrand Radio (OAK) 
 
Favorite Quote: The perfect mix exists in friendship.
 
Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Play the music that lifts you up and it's going to lift up other people. Have a personal hype song or 2. i.e. If I get anxious for some reason before or mid-set, I'll often whip out Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You" to lift me out of that weird place of self doubt. Self doubt is the enemy.

"This mix was a re-creation of a set I did at the Stream Informer Glen Falls House party this past June. I recorded the live set and was hoping to release that, but I was redlining a little too hard, and the recording came out hopelessly distorted. I was really proud of the mix and put a lot of work into it, so 3 months after the fact I decided to revisit it.

In preparing the set initially I decided to pretend I was playing to the sunrise even though the set ended at 4AM. Sunrise for me means… trance, I guess. It was a really cute party and lots of friends (Alyce included!) were there providing tons of warm and wiggly energy. I remember looking out and seeing someone twerking on the subwoofer at one point. My summer was kind of up and down after that, so it was a really positive memory to revisit.

I did this incarnation of the mix in my living room with 2 old CDJ 2000s, one XDJ 700 that I borrowed from my friend Danny, and my Mastersound 4 rotary mixer. I spent one day practicing, then did two full takes over the next two evenings. The take you’re hearing right now was the last one that I recorded. Looking back at the tracklist, one thing that stands out is how much new music I played, which is pretty rare for me. You’re not usually gonna see this much music from 2020 and beyond in a Tony G tracklist."

SOLACE SPACE 009 ✼ @tsunimanmusic

A clubby and journey driven mix from one of our favourite djs and next guest on the series. 

TSUNIMAN, originally from Switzerland, has based themselves in London for the best part of 6 years. The Sisu Crew, Co-Select, and Klub Verboten resident has been playing on some of the most exciting and progressive lineups across Europe, pushing their unique sounds encapsulating Trance, Progressive House, Techno, EBM and Breakbeat. 

It comes as no surprise that TSUNIMAN describes their sound as 'light, dark, euphoric'. If you've seen them play before, you would know they love changing the tone of their sets, which can often vary from dark, heavy and psychedelic, to happier, euphoric vibes. This mix for Solace explores the colourful side of the sound of TSUNIMAN, presenting progressive house/trance and breakbeat.

If you're in London this Friday, 16th December, TSUNIMAN will be closing Venue MOT, playing alongside Dylan Forbes, Spray and Tussle London's resident Sinic.
