Sub 120bpm chugs, dark basement grooves and haunted acid.
The first 40 mins of this were previously on SoundCloud due to account limits, this is the full mix.
Back in 2012, I'd played the opening night at Hope Works in Sheffield & with Black Dog, Matt Walsh & Hiem at CADS in Sheffield. I was also mid-way through treatment for cancer, having been diagnosed in 2010. No spoilers, but I'm writing this in 2026, so you know how that one worked out. "Death Disco" was a play on a few things: The Title from PIL as a nod to post-punk, Jah Wobble and dub as well as a nod to mortality which I'd spent more time around than planned. The "disco" element, being the light to the dark of the D-word. So the mix kicks off with Beryl Reid & dialogue from cult Brit-horror film Psychomania, takes in some 120bpm chuggers, Weatherall's remix of Wooden Shjips and dark basement party tracks like CD vs CD's "I Really Do Believe" & Caribou's remix of Virgo Four as well as Annette’s early acid house “Dream 17”
