Sinewave Radio

Sometimes I create a mix and then sit on it for a few days and listen to it back a few times to make sure it's good enough quality before I put it out into the public realm. But this is exceptional; originally recorded on the 1st of February, I've sat on this mix for a good 6 weeks, in between being too busy, uploading it and then forgetting to publish it, and all sorts of shenanigans!

But here it is, episode 54 of Sinewave Radio, which I'm dedicating to my brother, Danny, as he reminded me the other day if I was ever going to do another mix 😂 And then it twigged that I hadn't actually uploaded my last one! 🤦‍♂️

So this mix is a rich, melodic, down-low, bass-ey mixture of remixes and covers; sometimes remixes and covers can be awful, but hopefully you'll agree with the songs I've chosen - Tracks that not only take the original track but enhance it, or give it a unique twist.

Anyway, hopefully it won't be too long for the next mix!

Hope you have an amazing day

After taking a 4 month hiatus, I'm back with a fresh new mix of some of my absolute favourite progressive house tracks along with some new tracks I've heard over the summer and at festivals dotted around the world.

This episode is dedicated to a close friend of mine, legendary DJ Lee Harris who passed away in August this year. His passing hit me particularly hard, to the point where it actually put me off DJing for a while. Lee was an absolute pillar of the London nightlife scene; his DJing brought joy and happiness to thousands of people every week, and I have no doubt that Lee entertained millions of people over the course of his life, his talent and enthusiasm for music was infectious and was one of the people who inspired me to start my DJing career. We used to trade memes almost every day on Facebook, and every so often I see one and I think "Lee would have loved this"; we shared a very similar sense of humour. And for a moment, I feel sorrow, but then I remember my heart is full of happiness for all the times I got to share with Lee - Which inspires this podcast's title, Sorrow Then Happiness.

This episode is full of emotive songs, the lyrics often reflecting on my journey, on my thoughts of Lee - Especially the song "Diamonds" by Tinlicker - The lyric "I'm no good next to diamonds" - Reminds me of how I feel about my DJing skill compared to Lee... And Lee definitely was a diamond, both in and out of the DJ booth.

Until next time, stay safe,

So over the last few days I've seen a re-emergence of a few classic tracks from the Noughties - Such as Darude's classic, Sandstorm, and 4 String's trancey classic "Take Me Away". I thought to myself that I'd love to compile a mix of some of my favourite noughties tracks; including some long-forgotten favourites, including one of my absolute favourites that takes me back to heartache of my university days - Roger Sanchez's brilliant "Another Chance".

So after a quick trip down memory lane, I dug up so much, I suspect there might be a sequel to this episode in the near future!

Enjoy!

Here's some classic dance music to get you in the mood for the amazing Gran Canaria Bear Carnival!

I can't believe it's been 5 months since I did a podcast episode! I had to abandon my podcast for a while as I unfortunately fell seriously ill. However, I'm glad to let you know that I'm on the road to recovery, and with the amazing Gran Canaria Bear Carnival up and coming soon, I thought I'd drop a teaser episode of all the tracks that I will feature in a full blooded set just before I fly out to take part in the Bear Carnival as the current reigning Mr Bear Gran Canaria, where I will be sadly passing my sash onto the next lucky winner!

To get more details of the amazing Bear Carnival, visit their website at https://www.bearcarnival.com/

Be quick though, tickets to events are already selling out fast!

Sinewave Radio 050: Friday Dance Party by Soen The Viking

I'm back from travels in Albania and Greece, with a head full of music and a heart full of love. I've met lots of amazing people during my trips, too many to mention really, but it was nice to be surrounded by open and caring people from around the world, and united by their love of music.

Although saying that, taking 3 weeks off DJing has done my skills no favour; I put this set together and there are some seriously questionable transitions in here - But I at least get to feature a couple of tracks I first heard on the beaches at Anjunadeep Explorations, which is great.

I think I need to re-visit mixing with extended versions of tracks I like, because there are some occasions on radio edits when the vocals come in far too early for me to make a good transition out of them; and also their short length makes for a bit of a whirlwind mix, although I can't help but think this mix comes across as a bit ADHD.

Anyway, here it is, warts and all! My next destinations are Cologne and Athens, two new places I've never been before and I can't wait to do some more exploring and discovering great new music.

I hope the sun is shining where you are,

Love always,

Soen
