HONEY SOUNDSYSTEM techno set in The Lab SF
for Pride Month
A Honey Soundsystem techno set for Pride Month in San Francisco isn't just a party; it's a cultural statement, a history lesson, and a riotous celebration all mixed into one. We're here for the lineage, the sense of community, and the knowledge that the playlist will be both impeccably tough and subtly joyful. The Lab SF transforms into a sacred, pulsating space where liberation is felt in every kick drum. This set operates in the intersection of techno and progressive house, with a driving 125.6 BPM average and a harmonic framework heavily leaning on the uplifting, open quality of the 12A key.
The mixing is assertive and crowd-focused, building long, rolling passages of energy that are designed for collective movement. The low-end is powerful and consistent, forming a platform for melodic hooks, soulful vocals, and the occasional cheeky sample to work their magic. The tracklist is a testament to queer dancefloor history. It opens with the raw, tribal thump of R.A.W.'s 'Unbe (Erick 'More' Mix)', setting a serious tone.
From there, we get the sublime, harp-laden beauty of Dantiez Saunderson's 'The Harp (Beckwith Extended Remix)' and the sheer, undeniable joy of The Magician's remix of Clean Bandit's 'Rather Be'. The inclusion of Bad Bunny's 'NUEVAYoL' is a brilliant, genre-smashing curveball. The journey builds from deep, rhythmic techno, peaks with anthemic, vocal-driven moments, and closes with a perfect full-circle touch: the iconic, piano-driven rush of X-Press 2's 'Say What! (London Underground Mix)'.
