Avenue Red Podcast #259.1 - Tim Ohta

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red welcomes back Tim Ohta from Vasilyevsky Island in St. Petersburg, Russia. Exactly a year on from his debut, here we are proud to present a duo of vinyl-only mixes of purist minimal house & techno, which really take us back to this distinctively minimalistic era of bare-bones, dark & moody 4/4 machine soul music. "While my debut mix for Avenue Red was recorded spontaneously, for the second excursion I thoroughly went through my entire minimal collection and related genres. The result is a two-part retrospective of tracks from the 2000s. As the icing on the cake of my own nerdiness, I'm attaching tracklists with labels and year of release for each track."

Avenue Red Podcast #258 - Zaremba

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red proudly welcomes a newcomer to the series, as we give you Zaremba from Warsaw, Poland. Real name to remember: Dawid Zaremba. He takes us through the paces with a sensational 2-hour selection of finest deep house gems and tech house oddities, cutting across some minimal house & techno territories, especially in the latter half. The mixing quality is as robust as it gets for a vinyl mix, all served with an astute, narrow-eyed, laser-like focus on the final mixer output such that literally zero final mix mastering was required. He builds the energy so smoothly and steadily with a magical, groove-laden end product that feels discerning, engaging and most of all... human. "Recorded spontaneously during a single evening session. This mix is a deep dive into essential and reduced compositions that never lose their swing. I wanted to focus on that specific raw groove while keeping the selection eclectic. Just me, a stack of vinyl, and the vibe." Dawid Zaremba, January 2026 https://soundcloud.com/zaremba1

Avenue Red Podcast #257 - Gusev

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

He is back so soon! Berlin-based Russian-German selector Dmitry Gusev returns for his 9th contribution to Avenue Red. He is on a roll! "The idea for the mix was very simple. I had three records and wanted to build a mix around them. I went through my vinyl collection and listened to many records I'd long forgotten about. I also discovered some B-sides I didn't even know existed. I gave it a try, listened to it, crossed out a few records, added a couple of new ones, and on the second try, the mix was finished. In the end, only one of the three records made it into the mix. I'm very happy with it; the mix managed to tell a compelling story. Lately, I've been really enjoying rediscovering my collection. I've already recorded several mixes, and it's been fun. I primarily make the mixes for myself, so there's no pressure. I listened back to the mix many times. And later I sent the mix to Alec. Alec is someone who really listens to and understands DJ mixes. And now I would be very happy to share the music with Avenue Red's listeners."

Strong 4/4 rhythms and immersive textures shape a constantly shifting landscape, emphasizing contrast, progression, and evolving sonic environments... with plenty of ups & downs, inducing the feeling that you are teleporting to different imaginary places. Enjoy all, signing out..."

Berlin-based Russian-German selector Dmitry Gusev returns for his 8th contribution to Avenue Red, this time again laying down a lot of his favourite oldskool deep house, nu jazz & techno records. Many of his inclusions also happen to be some of our favourite records from that era too. What a tightly mixed, delightfully colourful and heartfelt autumn mixture of vibes we have here! "Hello all music lovers, I am finally back here spinning the classic trax on the black wax after 5 years since I recorded episode number 165! It was a lot of fun playing the mix. I wanted to play a classic sound from the late 90s and early 2000s. Vincenzo, Needs, Callisto, etc. Enjoy!"

Rugon, the official Chugmeister General from Zandvoort (coastal Amsterdam pretty much - same latitude as Kidderminster FYI), is back with more drugged-out, deep, chugging weirdo house & techno music for Avenue Red! This is mix number 5 and counting for us... "I am happy to only spin vinyl in this journey because it saves me from looking into a screen for everything the whole time. A better kind of focus is thus achieved. The eyes and mind's eye can become dizzy as the ears. A hynotic expression is revealed. Though, I must assure you that there are no subliminal messages contained within this mix, whatsoever. Thank you."

The Avenue Red Podcast hits the quarter of a millennium episode... Enter Nuremberg artist and DJ, Armin Bender. "So, what can I tell about this mix? It was recorded in my home studio, where I used an Allen & Heath Xone mixer, 2x Technics decks & a CDJ plus a Korg Kaosspad for effects. I selected many new and some older trax with deep and timeless attitude from artists and labels I really like, and I tried to create a flow as I always do. I hope you can feel it... Deepness rules!"

The Avenue Red Podcast is back with a delightfully deep edition of slickly mixed intergalactic techno and electro, a straight-up and honest document of the soul by underground hero Jayson Wynters from Birmingham, England. "Recorded in my home studio in Birmingham on my Technics SL-1210 Mk2 turntables and my Allen & Heath mixer. This sonic presentation was more on the deep dubbier side of things with tracks old & new. I hope you enjoy!" Jayson Wynters, July 2025 https://soundcloud.com/jwynters

Damo B brought the Innate boys Owain K and Gilbert up from Bristol to Manchester to help man the music stations @ Eastern Bloc! A wicked night that started with Damo B playing on a loosely B2B tip with Owain as they jointly delivered a smooth vinyl session deluxe, exploring their mad collections of deep, grooving, funky house music with a few techno licks thrown into the mix. Gilbert then stepped up for a LIVE electronics set, performed off-the-cuff and exclusively composed of his own material. Astonishing music that will make you wish you were there! https://soundcloud.com/damo-b https://soundcloud.com/owaink https://soundcloud.com/gilbert_sound https://soundcloud.com/innate-recordings

Maidstone-based veteran selector Tomas Bexton - hot on the heels of his recent appearance at our last event @ OverDraught in Levenshulme, Manchester - here delivers his 3rd mix contribution for Avenue Red. This time Tomas is keeping things on the firmer side, with some icy blasts from the past in the world of deep, pulsating abstract techno. Feel the turbulence. "Obviously delighted and honoured with a third appearance on the musical vortex that is Avenue Red! My intention was to do something different to my other Avenue Red sets and attempt a dub-techno mix. However, this was the result. I went digging back into my humble techno collection, with some of the records featured purchased when I was still a teenager. Recorded in one take using 100% vinyl, this is about as hard as it gets for me. I hope that it resonates... big love to the global Avenue Red crew!"

Avenue Red Podcast #247 - Chris Curtis

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red welcomes back Glasgow DJ & producer Chris Curtis AKA Theta Waves (moniker for his deep & moody production works). Here we have an immaculate and expansive 2+ hour mix session whose centre of gravity is firmly in the sphere of planet deep techno. And here's some related news... We are hosting an Avenue Red event @ OverDraught in Levenshulme, Manchester on Saturday 10th May from 3pm-1am, where you can catch Chris playing alongside Dubrovnik (UK) (also travelling down from Glasgow for the occasion), Tomas Bexton heading up from Maidstone in Kent and Avenue Red boss Alec Pritchard all commandeering the decks. Get involved! "Electronic music hasn't just always been a love of mine but playing a set has always been a great way to de-stress and focus on nothing but music for a few hours. Last year was a busy year as I kicked off a new night in Glasgow (Trace) which ran for 6 months, plus preparing the monthly subSine Sessions show takes some time, although it's something I love putting together. A short while ago I had an opportunity to spend an evening putting a mix together with no reason other than getting into the music and seeing where the journey took me. As opposed to playing live, putting a mix together gives you a great opportunity to plan a set list that really evolves and puts thought to deep transitions. Unlike most of my other mixes this one was totally unplanned. The only thing I had in mind was capturing the essence of a Trace night into a compressed set of around 2 hours, feeling the vibe as I went, so I guess this is more like a live set in some ways. When I'd finished the mix I thought this would be a good contender for Avenue Red, I'm glad Alec agreed. I use Traktor with timecode vinyl on 1210s. Although a pain sometimes in a club it's great for the home setup as it allows me to switch between digital tracks and vinyl without anyone noticing. This also lets me play loads of unreleased material on the monthly subSine show. The Pioneer DJM800 is my weapon of choice mixer-wise. Delighted to be providing another instalment of Avenue Red. Thanks Alec. Full track list to follow. Thanks for listening."

Avenue Red presents another tasty "live from the scene" session recording. Up next we have Jay Bliss (real name Iulian Cazan) from Bucharest, Romaina - IN Bucharest, Romaina. You can tell where it happened and when exactly from the title, ok?... Just read it in the title!... God!! 🙄 Have to explain everything sometimes!! Jeez. Anyway... Iulian is the man behind prestigious imprints Vade Mecum and Stomping Grounds. He is also an incredible artist, trust us, but we are too tired to list all of it here and we can't face it because there is just so much! Please have a look for yourself and educate yourselves. In this wonderful, spacious, nicely-worked venue in Bucharest he has created a magical 4.5 hours world of music to explore a lot of different styles, genres and variants of electronic music goodness. Steep yourselves in it! "This live session at Platforma Wolff, set on a Thurday evening, starts with a bit of downtempo and goes into full blown party music!

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red welcomes a debut mix from Tim Ohta, who has delivered a seamless 100 minute vinyl-only session of slinky, deep, smooth-rolling minimal house & techno. Prepare to be immersed in some seriously trippy and hypnotic sounds from a 20-years-in-the-game veteran selector! "I am 43 and for almost half of my life (since 2005) I have been collecting vinyl records with a tenacity worthy of a better use. Sometimes I even get to play them in some public spaces. I think this picture suits the mix nicely. It is my 'avenue' on Vasilyevsky Island in St. Petersburg, Russia. The photo was taken at 5 o'clock in the morning... after the club vibes ;) This mix for Avenue Red was recorded at home using a classic set-up: an Allen & Heath Xone:92 and 2x Technics 1210's. There was no pre-selection of records involved - the session was completely spontaneous, so I can't provide the tracklist. Thanks to Alec for posting!"

Avenue Red Podcast #245 - Tm Shuffle

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Trust when we tell you this mix has been a long-time coming... And now, finally, enter Tm Shuffle (AKA Trackmaster Shuffle AKA DJ Shuffle). His real name is Jukka Hänninen and he originates from Ruutana, Finland - a settlement absorbed into the country's sprawling second-largest city Tampere, which lies in the south of the country, about 150 km north of Helsinki. Jukka is a purveyor of finest deep & dubby techno music as an artist, DJ and label boss with his Vuo Records and Soulful Dubs imprints, which stretch back to a first release in 2003. His labels have released the works of his friends and fellow countrymen like Monoder, Phonogenic, Trevor Deep Jr; Star Dub; Armin Bender; Marco Cassanelli; former Avenue Red guest OHM and his long-time collaborator Kvadrant, to name just a handful. This mix is a testament to his veteran status on the decks and his keen ear for a patient, treacle-smooth flowing deep dubbed-out techno vinyl mix that feels transcending, full of cosmic touches... and if you close your eyes you can see the northern lights shimmering in your mind as you let the sounds wash over you. "I bring this mix from Ruutana City, Finland. Hidden in this studio in the forest, armed with two trusty old 1210s, a mixer and some dusty records, I bring the usual dubby deepness. Dive in!"

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Avenue Red Live Sessions series hits the 10th episode with a pulsating tech house mix from Peter Bernath from Budapest, Hungary. Peter is the boss of RTS.FM Budapest and his long-running Lost Minute event, where Avenue Red's Alec Pritchard had played back in February 2022 (exactly 3 years ago - see links below). This is a live & direct session recorded at a festival near the village of Rajka in the north west of Hungary. "3/9/24, 9:29 PM [Peter] Heey Alec, how are you? I have a nice recording from one of my favorite small festival (DVN Camp) and this years edition was incredible... such a nice location by the river, amazing crowd and I really loved playing there especially on the little Ecler Warm2 rotary 🙂 If you have time please check it out my friend 🙂 I was wondering if you could maybe use it for your Avenue Red series... of course just in case if you like it and it fits?? ---- 9/9/24, 7:45 PM [Alec] I heard it 4 times. I definitely love it and want it. Great set. Peace Division one in there too 🙌 Excellent energy for the Live Sessions series. Studio one can follow soon! ---- 9/9/24, 10:44 PM [Peter] Here you can find the wav: [link] I also put a pic from the event, can you use it?

Avenue Red Podcast #243 - Olly Godfrey

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Stockport-based Preston lad Olly Godfrey steps up for his debut mix for the Avenue Red Podcast with a stunning CD-length session of deep house and grooving 4/4 dancefloor fodder. We attest that this guy knows how to select and glue records together alright, as we had the pleasure of hearing him spin a head-warping set last summer at a 40th birthday party at the lovely venue named 33 Oldham Street in central Manchester (guess the address?!). That was a wildly uptempo & techy affair, but here he demonstrates his maturity as a DJ with a calmer, slower and more down to earth pure house music vibe. "I haven't really played many events worth mentioning, mainly just smaller parties and gatherings with friends over the years, plus the occasional radio show. I started DJing at 16 and I turn 40 this year. I started out going to events like Gatecrasher and Cream, then slowly going to more house and techno nights such as Tribal Sessions and Bugged Out!. These all had a strong influence on my sound. This mix for Avenue Red brings together some of my favourite sounds - dreamy, Italo and groovin' house music. It's a reflection of the music I'd want to hear if I'd just walked into a club and onto the dancefloor... enjoy!" Olly Godfrey, January 2025 https://soundcloud.com/technokid85

Avenue Red Podcast #242 - Alessandro Crimi

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 09 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

After an unusual 3-year gap, Alessandro Crimi is back at Avenue Red HQ once again, marking himself as one of the lords of the deep underground. This fresh 2025 mix is to show us his latest updated maps and mathematical models of a specific realm of the Universal space-time continuum... here, he presents what he describes as: deep, atmospheric and futuristic electro.

Avenue Red Podcast #241 - Adrià Duch

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 05 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red ushers in another new year's feast of deepness with a fresh debut mix from Adrià Duch - an artist, DJ & producer based in Barcelona. Adrià has released music on some of the finest proper underground labels including: Apnea Label; Insectorama; Chikyu-u Records; Greyscale; ECOUL SND; Lempuyang; Crossfade Sounds; Piranha Siberia Dub; Citrica Records; Melotonin; Slope Point; ODrex Music... and there are many more imprints graced as his production catalogue traces back to somewhere pre-2012. But damn it, to what length will this list stretch to being in another 5-10 years time?! So yes, Adrià has created tons of seriously amazing material that is moody, creative in arrangements and demonstrates his very special awareness of, and skill in handling the heavy sonic details in the low-end bassy frequencies. Wanna hear him DJ? Recline. It's all going to be fine. "I want to thank Alec for giving me this opportunity. I have to say that I consider myself first a producer and then a DJ. I obviously like to play music and I am always excited to collect vinyl, whether it be LPs or 12"s. I am a lover of dub techno - always have been! I make dubby-oriented music under my own name but for this mix I wanted it to be eclectic. I also enjoy many other genres in the electronic music scene. This is a vinyl-only set that starts very deep and pleasant, continues with some jacking house to move your body and ends up with pure darkness. It's basically tracks I've been digging lately and other favourites I own. This mix became an inspiration to me also." Adrià Duch, January 2025 https://soundcloud.com/adriaduch

Avenue Red Podcast #240 - Svetiritm

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The Avenue Red Podcast is here to deliver the final release of 2024 as we welcome a debut mixtape from DJ/artist/producer Sveta Pavlova AKA Svetiritm from Saint Petersburg, Russia. Sveta has some mad production skills and has showcased them on Alessandro Crimi & Sandro Isler's Waehlscheibe imprint with her awesome, ridiculously hypnotic Teleport EP from earlier in 2024... this pick being just the tip of the iceberg of top tracks and mixes released across the board of underground beacons of truth & light we keep our eyes and ears upon. She also goes a step further, creating and delivering full audio-visual performances at some events, so we clearly have an adventurous full-package artist on show here! Get ready for an intense, explosive session. "I just want to send peace and love for everyone 🙏🏻 I'm glad to record a mix for Avenue Red and be close to such legendary DJs. UK music has always inspired me and my friends, especially sounds coming from the city of Bristol! Enjoy the vibes." Sveta Pavlova, December 2024 https://soundcloud.com/svetiritm

Avenue Red Podcast #238 - Cenk Akyol

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Istanbul-based beacon of musical taste and exquisite curatorship, and provider of a bit of mixtape action here and there for Avenue Red, we welcome Cenk Akyol back for his third contribution for us. Sure, it's no surprise... An amazing eye for photography; a discerning taste for music; an ocean of black wax documentation in his home; a bloodhound for fine wines... Smokey film-noir vibes abound. Blaze up the room, set the scene. Get some mates around. *This mix was approved for release by the Turkish mafia.* "Another recording, far away from the dictate of the dogmatic obligation to the currentness that DJs have to face nowadays, celebrates dance music as a timeless sensual component. Without becoming even remotely anachronistically sentimental, I chose landmarks of house & techno from my very own archive."

The Avenue Red Podcast engine has been reignited after a small-but-healthy hiatus! Here we present an impulsive, slick vinyl mix from Barcelona-based DJ & artist Giancarlo Puigbó, who is originally from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. "First of all, thanks for the opportunity! I heard about this platform from my friend NEZ, who has released multiple mixes here. I've been a big fan ever since - just great music, plain and simple. This mix was really just an impromptu session where I went with the flow - no planning, just having fun! It's something I really missed doing. There are a few mistakes here and there, but as said in one of Ron Trent's records: 'Without error, there can be no brilliancy.' - FACT!"

Avenue Red Live Session #008 - Maxxitrax @ Affinity @ Eastern Bloc, Manchester, UK (19-07-2024)

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red turned up to Affinity at Eastern Bloc Records in Manchester's Northern Quarter back on the 17th July 2024... what a night! Event founder Max Howard AKA Maxxitrax had just kicked off a delightfully enchanting warm-up set and our ever-trusty recorder was plugged into the mixer, soundchecked and activated as quickly as possible... sadly the first few very dazzling and trippy records were missed from the recording, but what was captured 'till the end of his set was just beautiful. Max is clearly a selector's selector with top drawer technical skills. Proper solid intro vibes for a vibrant, hot summers evening session on Stevenson Square, which also later featured Tribe, Damo B and DJ Mindbender. And finally... here it is! "This is a recording of my opening set from my last Affinity party held at Eastern Bloc. I wanted to use the opportunity to play records that I wouldn't get to play in a peak time or closing slot that I will usually play in. I had picked some records out that fit this narrative but turned up without a game plan. Luckily I managed to work things out so that I could play some soul tracks to start out with and then build tension up gradually. I really enjoyed the process, hopefully the listeners will enjoy it too. Tracks from the likes of Sade, Pure Silk, Manual, The Stone Roses, Rennie Foster, Autechre - and labels such as Subject Detroit, Novamute, Peacefrog, Tresor..."

Avenue Red Podcast #236 - Verdant Recordings

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Andy Green AKA Verdant Recordings is back on Avenue Red Podcast with a nice, eclectic Indian summer mix comprised of 2.5 hours of wayward, grooving house & techno delights. "I often hit record when settling in for a session just in case it turns out to be a keeper. The mix presented here is one of those recent efforts put together on a warm July Monday night with no real purpose other than to enjoy a mix and some great music. Mostly records & few files on the CDJs, some new, some old and one or two unreleased oddities. I thought the Avenue Red community would appreciate a listen so I passed it over to Alec who kindly obliged. Disclaimer: I have nothing to promote... this is the true underground."

Avenue Red Live Session #007 - Reedale Rise @50arc/Ornate @ Faith In Strangers, Margate (06-04-2024)

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red were grateful to ourselves for having made the impeccable choice to rock up in Margate on the extreme southeast edge of England to witness a phenomenal event back in April. Masterclass sets from all who played there, with this live set from Reedale Rise (real name Simon Keat) being one of the highlights to shine on this wonderful soundsystem in a visually stunning venue. It was ace to also unexpectedly bump into some key agents of organised UK underworld deepness, including Miles Atmospheric of Atmospheric Existence Recordings, Bovill of cult label Meanwhile and many others! Quality > quantity. Keep the faith and enjoy the ride, the tide and the vibes inside! 🌊🌊🌊 "This set was recorded directly from my live performance at Faith In Strangers, Margate earlier this year for Ornate Music and 50arc. The venue is fantastic with a beautifully tuned sound system, views over the sea, and lovely hospitable staff. The event was a chance for me to catch up with people I'd not seen since before the pandemic and put some faces to online names, including Avenue Red's very own Alec. My live set has changed a lot over the years and the current evolution is all unreleased house and techno tracks. The music I play live has moved in this direction simply because it's more relevant to the dancefloor and more fun to perform to a crowd than some of my deeper electro tracks. Gear-wise, I've added a Roland TR8S drum machine to Ableton, which has allowed me more opportunity to improvise and react spontaneously. Listening back, I'm happy with how the set sounds and hope it resonates with people. Shouts to James Ornate, Damo B, and the 50arc crew for letting me play, and to Alec for both attending the event and hosting my set."

Avenue Red Podcast #235 - Tomas Bexton

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

We welcome the second coming of Tomas Bexton, a veteran crate digger and deep house & techno specialist from Maidstone in Kent, England. This is yet another vinyl-only session from a true master, hot on the heels of his debut for us in December last year as part of the Avenue Red Is 10... mini series (link below). Now, let's just quickly make an observation - Tomas knows how to select and mix. There ain't no sync button, for he is the sync button. More black gold bullion from his magnificent and broad record collection heaped onto the Avenue Red deep summer house vibes 2024 bonfire! Hit it crew. "Very honoured to be invited for a second run with the unstoppable Avenue Red portfolio of talent! I think some spring & summer feelings were in the air with this one as once again, deep and jazzy house rule the way for the majority of the mix. I did want to change the direction at the end though with a tiny sprinkle of dub techno or the like. Featuring tracks from Alton Miller, DJ Q, Derrick Carter, Altone, Juniper and others - I hope you enjoy this vinyl-only mix... big love to the global house family! PS. The pic is taken from an avenue round the corner right where I live in Maidstone. And strangely, everything looks red today!"

Lempuyang Records captain Alastair Kelly is back on the Avenue Red Podcast with his 4th mix contribution for us. Based on the Isle of Wight in the south of England, here he has cast a perfect sonic summer treat across the waters of The Solent for the deep, murky, trippy house heads adrift out there! Features many of our favourite artists and labels from the golden era, as well as some newer inclusions but we are saying slooow, deeeep house and techno, groovy swinging instrumental hip-hop & trip-hop etc. to finish. Serve yourself a cold one, light up a strong one, inhale and observe the magic unfold in the haze. "Lempuyang boss Alastair swings by to inject some doozy warmth into your so-far-shit summer. Expect deepness, pitched right down. Pairs nicely with a minimum of 8 margeritas and an enchilada with an unnecessary number of jalapeños."

Avenue Red Podcast #233 - Kári Guðmundsson

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 18 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Enter Kári Guðmundsson AKA Hidden People. Another Avenue Red debut mix, another Íslendingar (Icelander) to follow the 6 previous fellow cold-worlders we have featured (Exos, OHM, COLD, Octal Industries, Waage, Álfbeat). This session is an absolute bloody riot, with a selection that is very diverse and so creatively worked in the mix 'n' blend. This is the only mix Avenue Red will ever feature that contains a Barbie sample... deal with it - we had to (it works, you'll see). It's just lots and lots of fun this one! Read on. "Heyo, so I'm really bad at writing text in general. But I can send some links (see below). I run the label Nonyobiz Records. My old alias was Hypno. Recently I have been working on releases on Iceland labels Móatún 7 and Intellitronic Bubble under various guises. But essentially I have been producing music for about 15-20 years, almost exclusively in Ableton Live and various hardware. Most recently I have been digging my heels into the modular world. My current techno alias/project is Hidden People for the pure techno side of things. DJ Allskynz is for the rest like breakbeat, ambient, house etc. I really appreciate Avenue Red putting the mix on since I really don't work a lot on the PR side of things (and I should lol!). Again, appreciated. It was a fun time making this mix. I actually thought it was only an hour in and then when I checked it was going two... so yeah, much fun for sure. Hope the wider Avenue Red crew dig it! ;)" Kári Guðmundsson, July 2024 https://soundcloud.com/nonyobiz-records https://linktr.ee/nonyobiz_records https://nonyobizrecords.bandcamp.com https://www.discogs.com/label/2429866-Nonyobiz-Records https://www.discogs.com/artist/10100482-K%C3%A1ri-Gu%C3%B0mundsson-2 https://www.discogs.com/artist/1435842-Hidden-People https://www.discogs.com/artist/6769790-DJ-Allskynz

Wilson Logan of Quadrant Soundscape / Dub Explorations is back once again to give the Avenue Red crew a fresh batch of sun-drenched deep house goodness. "Thanks to Alec once again for giving me space on the incredible Avenue Red platform. For this mix I just wanted to play a bunch of tracks that I had been feeling recently. As the longer days are here and we finally have some sunshiiiine in Manchester I wanted to harness the power of that big light in the sky and put out a dose of deepness with some summer time vibes. Nothing too fancy in here just a stack of stuff I really enjoy, sequenced up and ready to be served with an ice cold drink.

Avenue Red Podcast #231 - Ezy Fischel B2B N'djinn

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 21 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Fresh heat incoming to Avenue Red from Ezy Fischel B2B N'djinn, a duo from Berlin whose selections are so rich, sweet, deep and fulfilling — not to mention the ridiculously silky, imperceptible transitions — it is at times difficult to take it in and process it in your mind. We are hereby served an eclectic platter of perfect summer solstice vibes. Finest vinyl-only ingredients of house, techno, electro, IDM — it's all there with a red candied cherry on top. Do not sleep on this 2.5 hour fireball of a set!! "We set our aims on a b2b-mix what feels like ages ago, and in relative terms it is, because it was during winter '20/'21 that we reconnected (being former colleagues at a record shop) and started doing sessions. We always had a good sense of where the other one is, emotionally and musically, so it's been a wholesome journey exploring our collections in tandem. There are numerous overlaps regarding which artists and labels we both admire, but surprisingly enough we own very few of the same singles and albums. Oftentimes when playing we discover lacunae in discographies we otherwise thought we knew, scrambling to note down an identifier, or, conversely, one of us simply starts nodding — a gesture every music head recognises — when realising exactly what record the other is bringing into the mix... ah, yes, many are the prized-but-not-necessarily-pricey tunes we've shared in ecstatic and all kinds of altered states! Still, we've been sitting on many a recording without letting loose. After a good three years, now, it's about time we share a moment of that local synergy; fuelled by energy derived from all them creators, the initiators and innovators and elevators, the rebels and renegades of machine funk."

This set is a seriously infectious, hypnotic, deep & danceable session, featuring only tracks from his own studio and his stable of close musical associates. "I'm a Venice-based producer who focuses on dub techno sounds with basslines borrowed from techno and deep house to build an electronic melting-pot: sometimes hypnotic, sometimes raw, sometimes groovy. My first EP named Soft EP was released earlier this year on Nicolas Barnes' ECOUL SND label. I have more EPs and tracks forthcoming on various different labels including Ubertrend Records, Liberty Rhythm, Superordinate Music and Melotonin. Enjoy the mix!"

Avenue Red Podcast welcomes a newcomer to the series... enter English artist/DJ 1DAN who lives in a land afar over in Southeast Asia. "I live in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) in the Southeast region of Vietnam. The mix was designed along the familiar lines of sunset into night time. Covering a variety of bases, vibes and time periods. Avenue Red has always been a consistent output of quality mixes, I felt this would be the correct destination for this mix. I have released music as 1DAN on Batti Batti and Atmospheric Existence Recordings, and as Tales Ov Rossi (along with BitterSuite's Jon Gray) on DeepSystems and Atmospheric Existence Recordings.

Avenue Red Podcast #227 - Sarah Goldfarb

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red Podcast welcomes Marseille-based DJ/artist Sarah Goldfarb for his debut mix on the series. Mastermind of the most hilarious and incisive techno scene memes (for which he is fast becoming uniquely infamous), he is best known to us for his scintillating, deep, shimmering, minimal, clicky micro house & techno releases pressed in the 2000's. Many older Avenue Red heads will recall some of the important labels he graced, including: Riley Reinhold's Trapez Ltd; Treibstoff; Dumb-Unit; Curle Recordings; 200 Records; Toys For Boys Records and more. It's great to have him back, adding his fresh, zesty ideas once again to this rather murky and unusual realm of the underground. This mix is truly magical. Taste it. "After many years of hiatus I am back on it with DJ'ing, producing music and SekT, my new project more oriented around deep/ambient/techno material. Since the early 2000's I have always explored the deeper territories of techno but sometimes it could be more focused on deep house music for the after-parties. Enjoy the mix, which progresses through my main spectrum of sounds."

Avenue Red Is 10... Tomas Bexton

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

We close out this 10-years of Avenue Red mini series with a debut mix from veteran crate digger and deep house & techno specialist, Tomas Bexton from Maidstone in Kent, England. A vinyl-only session. This is mostly comprised of some of our all-time favourite oldskool deep house gems, mixed with utmost smoothness! 10/10. "I am not a professional DJ or a music producer, you could call me a long-standing vinyl collector of electronic and (mostly) house music since the 1990's. This mix focuses mainly on deep house with a definite nod to a couple of decades back at least. My aim is to let the records and music do the work, with (hopefully!) a smooth mixing style. I want to feel a sense of peace through the records, maintaining the deep feel throughout. Electronic and minimal influences are of course also thrown in. Honoured to be allocated a podcast slot! I hope people enjoy the mix to round off the 10-year celebrations mini series." Tomas Bexton, December 2023 https://soundcloud.com/tomasbexton

Avenue Red Is 10... Andy Vaz

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 07 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red reaches the 9th and penultimate episode of the 10th anniversary celebrations series with the return of house & techno music veteran Andy Vaz from Cologne, Germany. Over 9 years have passed since his previous episode, which was delivered during our formative months. It's great to again host this true vinyl lover, tastemaker and purveyor of finest quality electronic music with his excellent Yore Records and accompanying Yore Store, and also his huge label Background Records that preceded it having ran since 1998. This mix provides an uplifting, sweet 'n' juicy, jazzed-out offset for the moods of these dark, cold winter months. "The quick in and out mix. Celebrating 10 years of Avenue Red, here I have prepared almost 2 hours of house records up in the mix. It has a 4/4 kick, the (electric) handclap on the 2 and the 4, some hats (open and closed) and features some jazzy sounds. Let it flow through you!"

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red's 10-year celebrations ball keeps on rolling with a football match-length mix from Preston North End's numero uno fan, Tommy Harrison, who is one half of Quadrant Soundscape (as featured twice on the podcast series) and the awesome Dub Explorations show and long-running event of the same name. This time Tommy is performing under his Asphalt Layer alias, which he uses for his uber ninja production work and solo DJ'ing. Be sure to check his page out in the link below! This is an impeccably constructed set of cosmic, pulsating deep techno, tech house, dub techno and more that gives a solid reflection of the kinds of sounds you will hear when he plays alongside his cohort Wilson Logan as Quadrant Soundscape at the next Avenue Red event at OverDraught, Manchester on Saturday 11/11/2023. Get involved if you can make it or have the power to teleport yourself there, which when listening to this totally sci-fi mix, you might feel you just about can do! Press play, get spaced. "After a couple of solid Quadrant Soundscape mixes, I felt it was time for Asphalt Layer to grace the Avenue Red decks. I've known Alec for a good while now, and knowing him and his amazing mix series, its an honour and I know my records have found a very good home! For my mix, I went deep and groovy, lots of music I'm really digging currently and some I've been digging for a while. Peace!"

DJ/artist Mist from Athens, Greece returns for his 5th contribution for Avenue Red, this time with an episode for our 10-year anniversary celebrations. True to form, here we have a CD-length mix of stormy, moody, hypnotic house and techno from one of our very finest resident operatives of the deep. "I've been an avid listener of Avenue Red since it began in 2013 and contributed my first one to the series in 2015. For this new 10 years mix I mainly focused on deep house and dub techno. The trip begins with some groovy vibes that slowly makes your body start to unwind, then as we cut deeper in towards the end of the trip, the sound becomes darker and more hypnotic! Hope you enjoy the mix!"

Our man Kyrro from France, currently residing in Amsterdam, returns to grace Avenue Red with his second dose of deepness - just in time for our 10-year anniversary celebrations. So, light a candle, pour yourself a drink, press play, and let yourself drift away for a blissful golden hour of deep house and dub techno sounds. "I grew up in the nineties playing acoustic and electric guitar in solo projects and in a band. Thereafter I started experimenting with synthesizers and collecting records in electronic music. As a sound designer based in the Netherlands I produce atmospheric and analogue soundscapes using hardware and instruments since more than a decade. Furthermore, I am constantly shaping deep and ambient aspects of electronic music into my sound through raw elements and keep exploring new possibilities in the musical spectrum. I've been listening to the podcasts on Avenue Red for many years and appreciate its high quality sets in deep genres. This recorded session on vinyl with a touch of dub and house does tribute to this exclusive podcasts channel. Enjoy!"

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 25 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red was on recording duties as two of Manchester's finest oldskool house heads got together for a dig through the archives. This was at Damo B's long-running regular event, Nothing But The Truth held @ Eastern Bloc, Manchester from the hours of 22:00-03:00. This recording captures the proceedings after the first 40 minutes had passed by. For those who don't know... Damo B is the presenter and producer of The Outta Limits Radio Show, exclusively on Manchester's Unity Radio 92.8 FM and online on www.unityradio.fm every Thursday night from 1am until 3am UK Time. "Techno, House and Electronica all up in the mix" is both the catchphrase and the solid gold truth. Damo also runs the burgeoning new label named Emotec, which has pressed EPs from MOY, BufoBufo, Auto Sound City and Rain & White Transit Van to date. LHK (real name Liam Swarbrick) states that he is generally "retired" these years, but Damo helps to give him a platform on the odd occasion to keep his hand in the game. LHK released over 20 ace house records from 1998-2006 on cult labels including Glasgow Underground, Leeds label 20:20 Vision, Toronto label 83 West Records and the San Francisco-based Tango Recordings (run by fellow Mancunian Tony Hewitt), among other labels.

For the second of this 5-part sub-series to celebrate 10 years of Avenue Red, we welcome the Glasgow artist, DJ and all-round dub wizard known as Dubrovnik (UK). With a wealth of fine dub techno material released over the past 8 years, including an EP on Greyscale's magnificent Mood Series, the man Chris Currie has under his Dubrovnik (UK) moniker traced through a journey of his own unique sonic craft. Relentless investment of time, energy and focus; ceaseless digging; learning and developing in the studio and out at gigs and shows etc. have all culminated in him distilling his own unique sound, as demonstrated in this exceptional Celtic vs Rangers match-length mix for Avenue Red. This is a session of exquisite deepness - a relentless, well-controlled onslaught of trippy, glacial, dubbed-out techno & house music. "I've been an avid listener of Avenue Red for a long time, it's an honour to be asked to contribute to this wonderful series! For the mix, I've dug deep through the archives to give an after hours vibe - an early doors to late night floors feel from walking into a club and being taken on a journey as the music shifts through the moods & gears. Really hope you enjoy the mix!"

5 years after his previous mix for Avenue Red, S&ro (real name Sandro Isler) is back to deliver his third contribution for us! In case you forgot or never knew, he is the co-owner of the Waehlscheibe label alongside fellow Avenue Red regular Alessandro Crimi over in Saint Gallen, Switzerland. After a relatively quiet spell, we gave Sandro a fresh project to push him back into digging through his awesome vinyl collection, reactivate his engines and get back into his typically insatiable groove. You know what button to press! "Unfortunately I haven't been able to spin enough records lately. For Avenue Red, it's all the more a great pleasure for me. For the mix I let myself drift. Mostly something cosy, minimal, dreamy... sometimes something new, then something old swims by, sometimes there's a swirl. Housey and dubby overall, I hope you enjoy it as a whole."

Avenue Red proudly welcomes the 6th contribution to the main podcast series from deep house & techno stalwart George Olaru from Bucharest, Romania. This time George is back to working solo under his new (and apparently final!) alias: George Heerd. Deep music head yourself?! Well, he never disappoints. So don't expect him to this time. "I'm really glad to return with an episode for Avenue Red after probably 3 years, a period in which I never stopped digging and crafting my sounds to a better quality almost each day 🙂. Meantime I move from working as one of the Heerd duo to a solo project simply as George Heerd, and the 1st vinyl solo release is upcoming... not sure exactly when but I hope before end of 2023, at the latest. Genre-fluid with trippy atmosphere, this mix stands somewhere between dancefloor-oriented and laidback home listening. Hope you will enjoy this musical piece as much as I do when I recorded it! 🙂" George Olaru, Jun 2023 https://soundcloud.com/georgeheerd See Also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-159-heerd https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-134-heerd https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-113-olaru https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-107-olaru https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-076-olaru

Owain recently played at our Avenue Red event held at The Loco Klub in Bristol in March 2023, which turned into an incredible 4-hour B2B session with Avenue Red frontman Alec Pritchard. It was recorded and released as part of our Live Sessions series (link below) and the response to this collaboration was very positive! Owain's first studio mix for our main podcast series is as masterful as it is long overdue... it's a seamless, perfectly paced blend of trippy, melodic, grooving deep house & techno. Get it on! "The recording is my usual mix n' match of sounds - old, new, deep and true... all with a dub flavour in there somewhere. Although probably more from the deep house sphere on this trip than other sets I might play... Big thank you to Alec for being the ever excellent host! 😎 Enjoy!"

Long-time Freerotation regular Luke Farey from Westcliff-on-Sea in Essex, England delivers almost 2 hours up in the mix for his debut on Avenue Red! Luke has been a DJ, collector and enthusiast of many, many styles since 1989. As per usual, here we have an unplanned and strictly vinyl-only mix capturing his mood at the time of recording. Never keen on the safe or easy mix, here we have a smorgasbord of feelings, meandering all over the place but somehow cohesively retaining Luke's trademark deep and psychedelic vibe.

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red presents a fresh, tasty package of divine deepness from Evening Selection - a duo made of Mateusz Szmigiero and Michał Kramar from the Polish capital city of Warsaw. These guys run an excellent radio show on Radio Kapitał, Warsaw (every 4 weeks on Mondays at 21:00 Warsaw time) and have featured some incredible underground guests including Al Bradley, OHM, Lerosa, Seafoam, Thomas Wood, Andu Simion, Tim Jackiw and Verlake among others. They have their guests rolling the cross-genre phat blunts alongside their own incredible, thoughtfully crafted mixes, having also created some excellent concept shows where the duo take advantage of the full 2 hours themselves. Highly recommended listening, educational, even. Find a flaw in this mix and you may need some help. Deep house & techno perfection, delivered. "This one's been a long-time coming, as they say... having enjoyed many a mix from Avenue Red's coveted back catalogue we felt like this one has got to be special. Given we dig a fairly wide spectrum of what can be described as 'deep 4/4', it was challenging to keep ourselves focused and squeeze in as many different styles and inspirations into roughly 60-70 minutes... a subconscious tribute of sorts to the mix CD format of yore, perhaps? What you'll find inside is the fruit of a lot of back-and-forth, heated debates and frantic exchanges regarding what tracks we should go for. We also like to think it's a decent representation of what we're listening to and playing - a bit of dubbed-out soundscapes, a side of breaks, a speck of continental minimal, a hint of the Bristolian vibe, some techy stuff from across the pond, the properly cold sound of 90's techno and last but not least, the deeper shade of house. Thinking about it... you could probably get a much better mix out of all the tracks we rejected (think of all the Drexciyan electro!). Then again, that's a really good reason to record another podcast at some point in the future :-) Put together in Warsaw, on a leisurely-paced mid-week mid-morning in late December '22."

Avenue Red Podcast #216 - Sa3b

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red presents Hady Saab AKA Sa3b from the Lebanese capital city of Beirut. Hady has rather excitedly made his first forays into the Romanian "Rominimal" sound, a slight departure from his usual stomping grounds in the deep/dub techno fraternity in this laser-focused hour-long mix. "I have been into electronic music for more than 15 years, spinning tracks from the tech house/minimal house world and charted a path of discovery all the way to my most loved genre - dub techno. Through these years of digging and collecting the finest music that suits my tastes, I have been recording mixes to package up these discoveries and document my own vision of sound. In the middle of 2022 I decided to start my Beirut Nights volumes of dub techno mixes which have been released on many SoundCloud channels. I have also played on various radio stations/channels all around the world and have been making some great friends and finding lots of new listeners along way of this very fun, very positive journey. All of my mixes in various forms can be found on my SoundCloud page (link below). This time I decided to release a special selection of deep Rominimal tunes on Avenue Red."

Avenue Red Podcast #215 - Sputnik

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Leeds electro boss Barry Duke AKA Sputnik is back for his second bite at the cherry for Avenue Red, deploying 100 minutes of military grade electro dancefloor slammers in a high-pressure, intensely attacking set. No prisoners. "It's been over 3 years since my last Avenue Red mix, so I thought I'd record another one for Alec. Like my previous mix, this one is all electro. I predominately mix vinyl (and still buy it) but there's tons of great tracks that are digital only so every now and again I record a Traktor Scratch mix using control vinyl. There's a selection of old stuff like The Advent and Aux 88 mixed in with newer electro from the likes of N-TER, TFHats and the late great w1b0. I hope you enjoy the ride."

Avenue Red Podcast #214 - Dott. Santafeo

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red proudly welcomes the mega productive, very talented Italian DJ / producer / sound designer / educator Dott. Santafeo (real name Leonardo Patrizi) for his debut on the main podcast series. A true warrior of the deep world, it is staggering how much this guy has created already - just take a glance at his SoundCloud profile (link below) and see the info section! Here Leonardo has constructed a perfect and very naturally evolving journey that blends the finest, most sublime documents of deep, dubbed-out techno & house in an almost football match-length session of shimmering sonic gold. "I think a perfect mix must have flaws, small imperfections are the jazz element, the human part, if well dosed, flaws are the best part of a good mix." Leonardo Patrizi, January 2023 https://soundcloud.com/dottsantafeo

Avenue Red Podcast #213 - Zach DeVincent

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Pushing on into 2023 with some real purpose and grit, Avenue Red will keep the weekly momentum going strong with weekly releases. We have accumulated quite a backlog of truly delightful DJ mixes that must be discharged from the cannon! Next up after dubtommy's masterful and very well-received downtempo & trip-hop mix, we present a 1-hour session of perfectly chilled, deep, groovy house from Los Angeles-based DJ & producer, Zach DeVincent. Also known for his trip-hop/downtempo productions as Zak Damundo on his 2017 album on Cold Busted, which was titled 3am, Zach has released his deep house tracks and remixes on a variety of other labels including Superordinate Dub Waves, 5 and Dime Recordings, Looq Records, ITOM, Acryl Music, Open Bar Music, Clear Recordings and Ban-Off Music. He is also a resident DJ/host of SWIM on Digitally Imported Radio (link below). And now, for your weekly mix update. One thing is for sure... this man has got the taste and sure knows how to flow! "I compiled this mix specifically for the autumn/winter season, and each track has been curated to communicate the transcendence I experience when wandering the city streets during this time of year - specifically in NYC & LA. Avenue Red has been a part of my life for many years and I'm happy to contribute to this ongoing sound journey."

Avenue Red welcomes the return of Amsterdam DJ & producer dubtommy for the first podcast episode of 2023! In under 2 weeks we are heading over the waters to attend the very exciting Stately Records vs Irenic label event being held at OOSTerBAR in Amsterdam, where we will bear witness to https://soundcloud.com/rogergerressen, Avenue Red resident selector https://soundcloud.com/alessandro_crimi and also dubtommy himself alongside his Stately label pal, Frederik. This mix can be seen as the calm before the storm, as dubtommy whips up a whirlwind of dreamy downtempo, smoked-out trip-hop, kaleidoscopic bossa nova and liquid nujazz tracks. "The start of a new year calls for a new DJ mix, this time going down in the tempo. Thanks to Alec Pritchard for hosting this one again, my 4th submission for his wonderful Avenue Red podcast series. Get lost in this maze of sound!"

Avenue Red Podcast #211 - Highdub

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 31 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

It's New Year's Eve 2022 and Avenue Red accordingly steps up to present something special for the occasion: one of the top dogs of the Mexican deep house/dub techno scene... enter Highdub (real name Diego Ramirez). An events curator, promotor, music collector and an experienced DJ, Highdub has delivered for us a perfectly mixed, intelligently compiled hour-long session of dub-infused techno & deep house tracks. Something fresh and positive to illuminate our ears and minds as we see over the horizon across the as-yet undefined ocean that is 2023. "In this episode you will have the pleasure of enjoying a dub techno and minimal set specially recorded for the great Avenue Red Podcast. I currently reside in the magical town of San Miguel de Allende, central Mexico, a cosmopolitan place full of art and colonial architecture. With more than 10 years of experience, I am one of the precursors and pioneers of the dub techno scene throughout Mexico. Enjoy the trip."

Avenue Red Podcast #210.1 - Alastair Kelly

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red is proud to present a pair of masterful deep/dub techno mixes created by Alastair Kelly, who comes from the seaside town of Ryde on the north edge of the Isle of Wight, just a few miles off England's south-central coast. Alastair is the man behind the awesome Lempuyang label, which goes from strength to strength as it builds out its impressive roster of luminaries in the deep/dub techno sphere. Lempuyang has pressed and dispatched new weapons-grade materials from many of Avenue Red's most beloved artists, having clocked up 10 releases since the label's inception in late 2021. These artists include some of our previous guests and good friends: OHM, Octal Industries and Hydergine; Manchester's Vinyl Exchange record shop boss and artist J.S. Zeiter; Mosaic label boss Steve O'Sullivan AKA Bluetrain; Icelandic legend Yagya; Japanese artist Altone; Moscow artist Anton Kubikov; Canadian dub techno specialist Deadbeat and mysterious mad hatter Sa Pa, among others. It's truly staggering how far this label has come in 1 short year! These two mixes from Alastair help to colour in the picture of his inspirations and trace how these roots extend to the shoots of his flourishing new imprint, along the way showcasing some of the sublime material it has released so far. And now for part 2... "A pair of mixes from Lempuyang's chief consumer of hot drinks and bread-based snacks. Here for part 2 we have 100 minutes of unrelenting techno rhythms, a bit harder than Avenue Red's usual offering. I suggest this pairs nicely with 4 shots of espresso and a garlic bread. No nonsense on this one, but it's still deep as fuck."

Avenue Red Podcast #209 - Josh Lentink

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red presents the 8th contribution from London-based, soon to be Manchester-based selector, Josh Lentink! Here Josh has laid down a moody, autumnal brew of trip-hop, obscure electronica, twisted industrial and cavernous drone records, adding further diversity to his already vast repertoire of sonics prepared for Avenue Red over the last 8 years. "I dug into some different records for this mix, lots of stuff I've been listening to at home lately. Andy Stott, Space Afrika and Rat Heart are all featured, also some sounds from Manchester, where I'll be moving to in the new year alongside Alec @ Avenue Red HQ! I paired them with some mellow drum and dub cuts from the likes of Valentino Mora & Ron Boots. The mix finishes with some beautiful organ drone by Sara Davachi. For me it's perfect music for this time of year."

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 23 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red presents a DJ by the name of 6047 (real name An Ho) from the city of San Bernardino, California, where the eastern side of the sprawling Los Angeles metropolitan area meets the San Bernardino mountains and national forest. He has provided us with a deep house masterpiece mix that, quite unusually for us, is entirely composed of material from one of his favourite netlabel compilations. The end product is beautifully crafted and fits our bill perfectly. "This mix is a compilation mix of Croatian based Luna The Cat's Winter Love 1 compilation. The following tracks were selected to create a cohesive sound and journey."

Avenue Red Podcast #207 - Glik & Arts

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 05 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red proudly presents Glik & Arts, an intensive digger duo from Moscow and Minsk respectively. These guys have created a mega fresh, impeccable 2-hour vinyl mix of deep, trippy, minimal house & techno that really shines brightly. Not a single foot is put wrong in a stunningly well-crafted set that seems to have a voice all of its own. "We are the curators of the Minsk broadcast Deep Arts on radio Plato, a duo of vinyl diggers who have proven ourselves over the past three years as connoisseurs of rare material. In our sets you can hear the dark minimal and the dub Detroit sounds blended into something fresh. We say this: we do not consider this a hobby or hold some desire to break through the underground culture, for us it is more an art where the idea is of listening deeply and learning our own philosophy of sound."

Avenue Red Podcast #206 - Farbian

We welcome the second coming of Farbian, a Berlin-based selector and curator from the Stuck Collective with a powerful 2-hour workout of pulsating, deep, dubby, dreamy house & techno. "In my new mix I wanted to create a fitting combination of dub and dreamy tracks with funky influences. I use a lot of tracks that have just been released, but also tracks that have been in my record case for years and are always special to me. This also includes tracks that I have produced myself together with a friend of mine. I can't think of a more fitting place for a release than the Avenue Red series."

Avenue Red welcomes our first ever Brazilian guest to the main podcast series - enter MF with an eclectic selection of musical styles woven together into a very unique tapestry of his own. What we have here is quite reminiscent of the Ninja Tune approach to putting sets of music together but with clever inclusions of the kind of dubbed-out house & techno elements that we are always fond of hearing. "You are listening to Marcelo Frota AKA MF, a Brazilian born in Rio de Janeiro. An avid music collector who has already shown his atomic arsenal in several countries around the world. Variations of breakbeat, house, Chicago house, classics and exclusive songs never released. I have always admired the Avenue Red channel for its musical quality so I made sure to provide something totally exclusive and authentic. Travel in this sound experience!"

Avenue Red Podcast #204 - DJ Joshua

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red is proud to present a sublime hour-long mix of deep, dubby house & techno from DJ Joshua, who hails from Setúbal, a coastal town that is part of the metropolitan area of Lisbon, capital city of Portugal. "This mix was recorded especially for Avenue Red and covers sounds from more expressive and ambient tracks, evolving to something more mental and strong techno. Then going through the middle for some things a little softer and more delicate. It's like a reflection or a mirror of what I've always absorbed from electronic music and the way I feel and express it in my works as a DJ. An example of this is my two weekly radio shows with two different aspects but that at a certain point can cross and also the other participations and collaborations that I do whenever possible. Thank you so much Alec for this opportunity to spread and share good music. That is always my main purpose. Enjoy this little trip!

Avenue Red Podcast #200.7 - Rubsilent

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 29 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Long-time Avenue Red resident selector Rubsilent from Istanbul, Turkey makes his 9th contribution to our imprint in as many years to keep the momentum going strongly for the BIG 200! This ~100-minute-long mix is textbook Rubsilent, delving into his deep vinyl collection to pull out a wide spectrum of the finest house & techno selections, spanning from the inception of the genres to the present day. Keep notes - all DJ's can learn many things from this seasoned pro of the underground. "Between a day job work schedule and adapting myself to parenthood in mid-40's, life no longer allows me to spend as much time as I want on the decks at home. As the priorities are straightened I struggle with finding the inspiration and motivation to record a mix to tell a story these days and if the mix wouldn't tell a story I see no point of sharing it with people for being connected. After about 6 months of not recording a mix other than a few local gigs here and there, exchanging some messages with Alec on social media got me inspired to put a session together. Here you may hear that selection of old and new tracks mixed in one go on my home set up. It was a smooth effortless one-go ride for me - I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed playing these records!"

Avenue Red proudly welcomes the debut podcast episode from producer, DJ and label boss Rai Scott, who is based in the Scottish capital city of Edinburgh. Rai is one half of 2DeepSoul together with her partner in life and music, Brad Peterson - a fellow deep head and master craftsman who did Podcast number 021 for us 8 years ago!

As well as releasing on their own imprints the duo have their music unleashed across a fine array of respected underground labels including Ornate Music; Echocentric Records; Church; Minuendo Recordings; Andy Vaz's label, Yore Records; Altered Moods Recordings; and most recently Rai created the opening release of Avenue Red resident selector Caillou's new upcoming label, Chateau Chepère. For her instalment of the BIG 200 Rai has created a CD-length vinyl mix of raw, soulful, jazzy, deep, groovy house music with some eclectic, eyebrow-raising twists at the finale. Here we have such a truly sublime, tasteful and classy selection mixed with a wonderfully organic touch.

Avenue Red's BIG 200 10x mix compendium takes further form with the addition of another set of sonic shapes and moods from the Manchester-based deepness merchants, Quadrant Soundscape AKA Tommy "Asphalt Layer" Harrison & Wilson Logan. These are also the guys who are behind the excellent mix show, Dub Explorations, whose events at Eastern Bloc Records have been involving Avenue Red's own Alec Pritchard on the regular lineups during the last 18 months. This is the duo's second contribution to the podcast with yet another stunning gourmet of tripped-out, dubbed-out weapons. "Thanks to Alec for the opportunity to be part of the 200th Avenue Red Podcast release. For this mix we wanted to showcase the deeper and moodier side of our record collection. We wanted to put together a nice solid 75 minutes of low slung, hypnotic grooves that give a nod to some of our favourite producers and the innovators who have come before us."

Avenue Red's BIG 200 steamroller rolls on to DJ mix 5/10 with the 7th contribution from London-based resident selector, Josh Lentink. In keeping with his trademark sound, here we have another colourful, enlightened, melodically rich mixture of deep house, techno, electro, IDM and breaks in this CD-length payload of divine cuts from Josh's glowing and diverse collection. "This mix was recorded with a lot of new records (as new mixes often do) and a few oldies chucked in. I decided to bring the tempo down a bit but didn't want full on chug. I think it builds nicely and gets wonkier and wonkier. Tracks from some artists that are currently exciting me - Ronan, Rat Heart, Hoavi & Anatolian Weapons.

Here in true Poisonoise fashion, we have a perfectly-crafted 65 minutes of slow burning, deep, dreamy, hypnotic sounds... always very spooky and eerie, Steve is the master of generating an intriguing sonic witches brew laced with all manner of narrow-eyed nefariousness.

Avenue Red Podcast #200.2 - Andrea Cichecki

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 22 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Electronic music specialist Andrea Cichecki is an artist inspired by sound. Born in the Netherlands with Polish roots, Andrea has had a lifelong fascination with emotion, human connection and how these intertwine with music and sound. Her atmospheric music can be described as a dreamful sound collage, lifting us away into a flow of emotions. The musical intent is built on a landscape that sweeps from intense joy to melancholic emotion, a cinematic journey of life and memories. Andrea’s main inspiration is the inner peace found through connection with nature. For over two decades, Andrea performs as a DJ across Europe. For seven years, she lived in Berlin where she was integral to the electronic music scene and a regular DJ playing in renowned clubs such as Club der Visionaere, Hoppetosse, Tresor and About Blank. After successful releases of her own music, she knew it was time to follow her dreams. Achieving a diploma for her studies in ‘Music Production & Sound Engineering’ at the Abbey Road Institute helped her enrich her sound, expand her creative mind and build on her professionalism. These days Andrea is in high demand as a music producer and audio engineer: composing, mixing, mastering as well as working at Castle Studios in the countryside, just outside Dresden. https://soundcloud.com/andrea-cichecki https://www.andreacichecki.com https://linktr.ee/AndreaCichecki See Also: 200.1 - https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-200-1-volar 200.0 - https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-200-0-estimulo

Long-time friend of Avenue Red, Alex Volar from Perm City in Russia is back with a blinding, mind-bending, rhythmically gymnastic house/techno mix for the BIG 200! Alex was tuned into our frequencies as a listener for many years, then became a guest in a very well-received B2B session with his hometown compatriot S.Aers [https://soundcloud.com/saers_saers] (mix link below). It's great to have a special, laser-focused, mindful solo mix from this talented young digger & selector... he knows how to create the precision amount of energy and hold it tight, manoeuvring through an impressive spectrum of early-days tech house-inspired deep 4/4 tracks, revealing his illustrious DJ's toolkit of the dark arts along the way. https://soundcloud.com/alex_volar See Also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-186-volar-s-aers 200.0 - https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-200-0-estimulo

Avenue Red Podcast #200.0 - Estimulo

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000

After 9 solid years of releasing the finest, deepest, dopest, most dubbed-out and trippy underground DJ mixes from around the globe... we finally hit the BIG 200 milestone and we are doing it BIG in style, quality AND quantity - all at the same time. Avenue Red will deliver 10 mixes in rapid succession from 10 different selectors, some of which are returning and some delivering their long-awaited debut. First up, we welcome the return of the seasoned Berlin deep house Admiral known as Estimulo. Dishing his second contribution to the series, this is a captivating, soul-warming, moving, grooving extended mix of totally obscure, forgotten or at least bloody well hidden four-to-the-floor gemstones. "It's a real exception for me to do a mix of a duration of more than let's say 90 mins for a podcast, but the cause deserves it. I tried to jam-pack this mix with as many of my slightly more unknown 'deep techy house' secret weapons as possible and when alec came back saying that he hardly knows anything in the mix then I knew that I succeeded. Happy 200th birthday to Avenue Red and here's to many more!"

Avenue Red Podcast #199 - The Hermit

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 10 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red Podcast welcomes a dedicated veteran crate digger/DJ from the American Midwest city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin... Andrew Pearce AKA The Hermit enters the fray with a mix full of deep, jazzy, summery house music of the solid gold bullion variety. Andrew is the man behind the No Coast Muzik underground collective, mix series & events umbrella over in Madison and in his hometown, where he has also been throwing the monthly Retrospect parties for 10 years at some of the city's top clubs, including Studio 200. He also broadcasts his regular DJ livestream called Gravitate Sessions from JiggyJamz Vinyl in Madison, which has been running for over 6 years now. A man with over 10k records in his collection; behind hundreds of mixes released online; pushing countless events, large and small; a name like The Hermit can mislead... he is a committed and very knowledgable music head lifer, a valued repository of underground music (see his website, link below), tirelessly grafting to get so much good and obscure stuff out there into the wild... out of the unique kind of hermitage that all too often occurs when life gets in the way and the vast collections of diggers' music is left to collect dust, unseen and unheard. Enjoy this perfectly worked mix and keep your eyes open for the BIG 200 that follows next week, exactly 9 years after the inception of Avenue Red!!! It's going to be intense. "This mix is a throwback to the late 90's Midwest Deep House sound... Uptempo Jazz, Soul and Disco infused bliss with quick blends and long play masterpieces that take you on a journey with a few surprises along the way. It contains B-Sides and lesser known gems from master craftsmen mixed in traditional fashion... Vinyl, DITC and recorded in 1 take with no edits. N-joi the ride =]" Andrew Pearce, June 2022 https://soundcloud.com/the-hermit https://www.infinitesonicoutput.com https://www.instagram.com/nocoastmuzik https://www.youtube.com/c/GravitateSessions

Strictly vinyl only, this sister series serves to unearth some forgotten gems from labels and artists of yesteryear that have been hidden from view, buried by the sands of time... 12 of Alec's personal deep house favourites of all time have been given a new life in this special mix, where the mixing is kept simple, letting the records spread their wings and play out in full to show their true magic. https://soundcloud.com/alecpritchard See Also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/1210-mk11-alec-pritchard https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-150-alec-pritchard https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/avenue-red-is-5-alec-pritchard https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-082-alec-pritchard https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-064-alec-pritchard https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-002-alec-pritchard https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/1210-mk1-alec-pritchard ===== 01 Reset - Snoutgrape // Paper Recordings (2001) 02 Le Grande Boofont - Bacon Mohican (Caliman Remix) // Tak Records (2000) 03 Gemini - We Are The Future // Classic (1999) 04 Real Deep - Seven (Deep Dub) // Azuli Records (2002) 05 Gimmik - Untitled (B1) // Toytronic (2002) 06 Nuron - Eau Rouge // Likemind (1996) 07 Microman - If I Let You Down (Remix) // Ahab (1999) 08 The Timewriter - Limelight // Plastic City (2008) 09 Orlando Careca vs. The Cosmonut - Ceramic // 66 Degrees Records (2000) 10 Human Beings - The Pattern (Earteam Mix) // Deviate (1996) 11 Ian Wilkie - Guten Morgen // Polyester Music (2000) 12 E.B.E. - Serenity // Soma Quality Recordings (2000)

Avenue Red welcomes the return of WarmState Records label boss and DJ known as NEZ (real name Amaury Rondon) from Santo Domingo, the tropical, vibrant capital city of The Dominican Republic. Here for his second contribution to the main podcast series, Amaury takes us through a wormhole of aquatic, tripped-out dub techno grooves. "In this second opportunity to collaborate with Avenue Red, I present a session that immerses you in a Dub and Deep Techno story telling a hypnotic progression that encourages deep sound dancing. A selection of incredible tracks that make you see the gray and atmospheric sounds of the deepest music."

Avenue Red Podcast #196 - Verdant Recordings

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 06 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red regular and all-round top guy Andy Green, perhaps best known under his DJ/label name, Verdant Recordings, is back with his 7th contribution for us. We were surprised to notice that 1,162 days have passed since his previous one however, which was Podcast episode 122 on the eve of New Year’s Eve in 2019. Here Andy has taken another fresh deep dive into his epic record collection especially for Avenue Red, digging out some old and new deep house & techno cuts that are then impulsively mixed, rubbed and spiced together on his flashy new audiophile rotary mixer. Here we have a prestigious 2-hour trip of astonishing quality and vibrancy, which intelligently pulls together many disparate documents from the deep end. "Always a pleasure and increasingly a challenge to put together a set for Avenue Red as it esteemed reputation is acknowledged. I recorded this back in the dingier cold nights of January with the intention of serving up something uppish and a measure of joy. And yes, this wasn’t planned out too carefully, just sequencing some tracks as they came to mind. The Vince Watson DNA Resequenced LP and Steve O’Sullivan's collaborations projects are (still) getting my attention here so I had to include those alongside Priori and Eversines who are making amazing music just now. Enjoy and thanks again to Alec and Avenue Red!"

Avenue Red listener, obsessive music collector and DJ, the man known as Faestos, has stepped over the line and delivered a special set of musical notes and moody hues for our collective discerning aural considerations. Originating from "Tintin" town, Brussels - capital city of Belgium - Faestos (real name Stephan Hartog) has created an awe-inspiring universe of sound lasting just over 2 hours from big bang to the big crunch.

"I am glad you opened this gift from me to you! With this mix, I want to take you on a journey through ever-changing environments - from nature to space to urban and back. I mixed a selection of dub techno and deep house tunes which range from deeply meditative and atmospheric to dancefloor-friendly and quite energetic, each representing a different environment. I will leave it up to you to decide which reflects which." Stephan Den Hartog, March 2022 https://soundcloud.com/faestos

Avenue Red Live Session #002 - Kaan Elitok @ Void, Eskişehir, Turkey (18-08-2021)

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Kaan Elitok Thu, Aug 19, 2021, 6:45 PM to me Hey Alec, How are you? Hope you are fine :) Yesterday, I played in a local venue here in Eskişehir, Turkey. I recorded the set. I played for 4 hours and I split it on Ableton into 2 parts (maybe we should re-combine it into one whole?). I decided to publish it because people at the club really liked it. The set contains dub techno, techno, tech house, progressive house from the 2000's and from current time. (You already know my sound :D) It also contains some of my own productions. I hope you'll enjoy it! Thanks! https://soundcloud.com/kaanelitok

Avenue Red Podcast #194 - Anddie

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 16 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red welcomes another DJ from Bucharest, Romania... enter Anddie (real name Pietrareanu Andrei), a DJ and artist who likes to push the deeper and dubbier shades of house & techno. This 1-hour mix is a dark, groovy selection of dreamy 4/4 gems, mixed sweetly and flowing like treacle. "The mix is a pure dub techno mix, specially selected for Avenue Red. I chose to release one here because a lot of artists that I appreciate released previously there and because there is some sort of open format which is amazing. From dub to minimal, triphop, deephouse... I think it's a place where you feel nice without the pressure of a format or type of music imposed upon you... it's a place where you can really express yourself."

Avenue Red Podcast #193 - Estafet

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 28 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Russian artist & DJ Kammerton AKA Stepan Chernov is back on the Avenue Red Podcast for his third release... this time, as a part deux for his second main podcast episode (192), he presents an acid encounter from a live event under his Estafet alias. Recorded somewhere in a shadowy basement in Moscow, this is an educational 3-hour dancefloor trip and tour de force of the true power of 303-tinged house and techno music, selected and performed live by a master craftsman. "This recording was made at a closed Sunday afternoon event from the promo group Compromat. The party was dedicated to the acid and rave sound. It was a basement in the centre of Moscow and there were many problems with the organisation. For example, due to the fact that there was poor ventilation and there was a lot of moisture among the people, in fact, water dripped from the ceiling and walls, at some point some of the equipment burned out, but the positive impressions eventually outweighed all the shortcomings. Anyway, this is the music that emerged from that occasion. I think the power of the music strongly overcomes everything incidental and this product shows that music is the answer."

Avenue Red Podcast #192 - Kammerton

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 17 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0000

We welcome the return of Moscow-based Russian DJ & artist Kammerton (real name Stepan Chernov), whose debut Avenue Red Podcast 030 was released 2,543 days ago on New Year's Eve of 2014. He is well-known in the underground circuit across the most populous regions of Russia and has played at many great clubs over there, especially those focussed on deeper house, techno and minimal stylings. He was resident of Moscow clubs Shanti and Propaganda, as well as radio stations Deepmix, MixCult and RTS.FM. As an artist, he is also known as Estafet, Moogam and Hand Rolling. His latest works show an increasing embrace of the darkness, with his latest works - the A4 EP on Moscow label Compromat - being described by the man himself as "Meditative acid surrounded by dark industrial atmospheres. Monotonous bass line drowning in its own reflections. Music on the verge of sound design... It will appeal to fans of the post-apocalyptic Blade Runner mood". This new mix contains hints of these aesthetics and sentiments, but is a much more active, pulsating, truly heads-down affair delivered with a serious tone and narrow-eyed gaze. "This mix is an attempt to recreate and convey subtle emotions and moods from the afterparty at the Mutabor club, Moscow. Soft spatial sound with warming bass, sonic travel and cinematic sound design."

Avenue Red Podcast #191 - STL

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 03 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red is proud to present a long-time favourite artist of ours, a man who for over 20 years has been lurking in the darkest, most shadowy lairs of the deep subterranean underground... enter German musical mastermind Stephan Laubner, better known to most down here as STL, also as Lunatik Sound System. Located somewhere amid the Harz mountains in northern Germany, he is well known as a talented and vastly innovative producer, especially in experimental electronic, ambient and deep, dub techno circles. But almost nobody, even in these tightest and narrowest of niches has ever heard a DJ mix from this rather mysterious figure (aside from a totally out of the blue RA Podcast in 2014). Today, that changes, as he has decided to unleash some real fury right here on Avenue Red. His debut release was called "Portside Waves" and was the 13th release on Perlon in 1999, with this spooky, insanely hypnotic track coming with some bizarre infinite locked-groove loops on one side - the flipside featuring Ricardo Villalobos & Martin Schopf under their Ric Y Martin guise. This paved the way for a discography that, at time of writing, totals approximately 100 releases. As well as being the mainstay of his Something label (link below), his releases are scattered across the likes of Smallville Records, echospace [detroit], Echocord, Silent Season, Assemble Music, Phonica White, The Untold Stories and many more. We highly respect and recommend a visit to his hand-rolled Something Records website too, which is packed with soul and contains some amazing secrets waiting to be found. This mix is a live DJ performance riddled with trippy effects and unusual mixing techniques. A mix like no other. It is alien, beautiful, strange, venomous, intoxicating and downright awe-inspiring, as with everything this rare Midas has touched. "Since a while ago I have been in contact with Pierre AKA Caillou. His new label is Chateau Chépère on which I have an upcoming EP. We chatted about music and mixing and shared a few links to each other's publications (he made 2 Avenue Red Podcast episodes: 136 and 172). He was sending me a link to an Avenue Red mix he was doing and so I - or we - had the idea to send a mix from me to AR as well. Since most of the music I make is usually within the studio I am not really a DJ - more a production head. Nevertheless, sometimes I dig out those old vinyls and record a tape. The mix provided was done pretty much out of the feel and almost desire to play some records again. I don't do this every day. I keep that for special times or at meetings with some friends or family. Actually this session turned out to be very much full of life and energy. I wanted to keep with a certain flow. Tightness was not the best. However I think it is still enjoyable. Not just a dead mix, but something coming from taking the action to create something enjoyable, at least for my side. For me the music and the mixing often is something that belongs together. I mean a dub techno mix probably would not have been done this way. Glad Alec is liking it and I hope you enjoy this one at your end too :)" Stephan Laubner, November 2021 https://soundcloud.com/synthonic-matter http://www.something-records.com https://www.discogs.com/label/17573-Something https://www.discogs.com/artist/153541-STL PS. Shout out to https://soundcloud.com/cailloulapierrequiroule and his awesome new label, on which STL - Partial Light EP is the second release following a debut with Rai Scott.

Avenue Red Podcast #190.1 - Danijel Kevic

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 21 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red presents part 2 of this 2-part podcast episode by Bosnian artist & DJ, Danijel Kevic. Keeping true to his neatly chiselled out sound, this mix gives us another taste of his fresh blend of deep, soulful house music stylings. It is a sweet, spicy, piquant brew that juxtaposes all manner of electronic-edged and jazz-tinged components, served on a nutritious bedrock of Detroit/Chicago goodness. "Here's my second testament of house music delights for the Avenue Red crew. Big respect to all the listeners who take the time to absorb the real house music flavour!" Danijel Kevic, October 2021 https://soundcloud.com/danijelkevic

Avenue Red Podcast #190 - Danijel Kevic

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 07 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red welcomes a newcomer to the main podcast series... enter the very dedicated and focused DJ/artist Danijel Kevic from Bosnia and Herzegovina, a country we didn't receive a single transmission from until now. Originally from the country's second city of Banja Luka, now based in the nearby city of Prijedor, Danijel is a key member of the Bosnian underground scene and has been collecting, producing and playing music for more than 10 years. He has released his strongly Motor City & Windy City-influenced music on a host of fine labels such as Minuendo Recordings, Kolour Recordings, Tit Zero Recordings, Open Bar Music, Waxx Trax and Manuscript Recordings among others. Here Danijel has showcased his vibrant, deep, soulful brand of club & bar-friendly house music with a slickness, a professional touch in the name of tight flow and intricate mixing. This, we can confirm, is true house music. "Here I present to the real underground heads of Avenue Red a 1-hour set of the kind of music I am focussed on and love to play and produce. This is the 1st part of a 2-part Avenue Red Podcast from me, with both representing my signature mixture of organic and vintage blends of Chicago and Detroit house, spliced with funk and deeper elements. Hope this brightens up your day!" Danijel Kevic, October 2021 https://soundcloud.com/danijelkevic

Avenue Red Podcast #189 - Josh Lentink

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 28 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000

It has been 1,139 days since the release of his "Avenue Red Is 5..." mix in August 2018 and we are so pleased to welcome the return of young London-based master selector, Josh Lentink! Josh has been very busy running his monthly shows on Timeline Music in the meantime, amongst setting up other new ventures (we'll let Josh introduce that below). Here we have the 6th contribution from Josh for Avenue Red... another foray into the dreamy wonderland of eclectic electronic music selections, stitched together in that unique way as only Josh knows how. "This is the first mix I've recorded in a while. It came together pretty quickly from a pile of recent purchases. Although it's not necessarily a fair representation of the styles I've been listening to recently, it flowed nicely at the time. Erebus Sounds is my latest project, currently a mix series but waiting on a few tracks to be completed for release in the not so distant future. Keep a look out and enjoy this long-overdue mix for Avenue Red x" Josh Lentink, September 2021 https://soundcloud.com/joshlentink https://soundcloud.com/erebus_sound See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/avenue-red-is-5-josh-lentink https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-074-josh-lentink https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-066-josh-lentink https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-057-josh-lentink https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-044-josh-lentink

Avenue Red 1210 Mk13 - Moutier

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0000

After a 1-year hiatus, the Avenue Red 1210 podcast series has a fresh installment of 12 records, each one being 10+ years old. Stepping up to the platters we have Moutier, a veteran DJ duo from Leeds who have in recent years also turned their hands to being producers and label owners. In 2017 they launched their Enclave Records imprint, which alongside their own works has featured an illustrious roster of talent, including Harrison BDP, Javonntte, Kresy, BioRoot and Niklas Andersson among others. No strangers to the origins of true deep house, these guys have dug through an enormity of special black gold releases over the last couple of decades. Also with them having played a lot of gigs around the UK (especially in the north of England) throughout this time, they are well qualified to compile and mix something timeless and special from their collective treasure trove of records. They show their fine skills as DJ's in the way they hold that elusive dancefloor groove as they flutter through the tracks. To dance or not to dance? It is simply not an option. "Here's 12 of our favourite cuts from that truly golden period of 1995 until just after the millennium. We purposely avoided going for something super banging, but rather just some good old fashioned deepness and gentle undulation, building towards the unreal Journeyman (an under-the-radar alias of the legendary Jean F. Cochois, better known as The Timewriter) track at the end. A lot of these producers get somewhat overlooked when looking back at this period and perhaps, apart from true Discogs saddos like us, don't get the love from the current generation of house heads that they deserve. Hopefully we've been able to do our little bit to turn some new ears onto this stuff. Enjoy!"

Avenue Red Podcast #188 - Chris Curtis

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 01:15:55 +0000

Glasgow/Aberdeen lad Chris Curtis, a long-time DJ and aficionado of awesome music, a prominent figure in the real Scottish underground scene has stepped forth, breaking an Avenue Red silence of no less than 51 days. After a healthy hiatus while the world was otherwise distracted, it is finally time to bring those who "see red" a fresh mix from a truly passionate and knowledgable musical soul who is one of the founder members of the excellent Glasgow-based institution, Club Sounds Live. Also known as CSL, it is an underground music movement and a hive of music knowledge with a strong membership of proper Sub Club, Arches, Pressure etc. veterans. We are so happy to finally restart the engine and bring yet another special mix of underground gems. "I've been a listener of Avenue Red mixes for several years, so I'm delighted to now be a part of the quality electronic expedition that is - Avenue Red! I've been DJ'ing for 20 years now in bars and clubs, mostly in Aberdeen (Scotland). From around 2005 to 2010, I was a resident at a locally famed techno night called Metropolis at the Pelican Club. Over the years, I had the pleasure of warming up for some brilliant international guests, also playing resident nights alongside night curator Chris Knox. I love the warm up maybe even more than the headline slot. There's something special about seeing an empty dancefloor bubble into a coiled spring ready for the headline act to come on. I'm a fan of long transitions and unexpected drops and I think long a warm up set gives you the perfect opportunity to craft an atmosphere and experience what the crowd is feeling at a more intimate level. As far as influences and genre go, they are varied and I'm quite open minded. I'm a huge fan of zen like melancholic sounds, deep grooves and pounding hypnotic rhythms. Although I'm also a fan of downtempo, funk and disco, I've kept things mostly electronic for this mix. Currently, I present the monthly subSine | Sessions show on Groove City Radio (Glasgow) which aside from great guest mixes, promotes the music of up and coming talent from the subSine Academy of Electronic Music in Glasgow. This winter I'm planning to hibernate, and maybe even finish one of several tracks I have on the go at the moment. Greetings from Scotland - Hope you enjoy the mix."

Avenue Red Podcast #187 - Tom Larson

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 16 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red is proud to present a mix by an underground mixtape machine known as Tom Larson (real name Tommy Köhler), who hails from the famous East German "toy town", Sonneberg. If you scroll down on his Soundcloud page (link below), you will see that he has already paid a visit to literally all of the other contemporary underground house/techno/dub techno podcasts with one of his tightly mixed, thoughtfully compiled selections of all things deep, groovy and spaced-out. This new one for Avenue Red grabs your attention right from the start. Crisp, fresh bongo beats laced with moody, smokey film noir piano atmospheres set the stage, then proceeding directly onwards into devilish, dubbed-out minimal techno and deep house, then drifting into something lighter and more uplifting... and back again. Tommy shows his sophistication and experience as a DJ with the continuous shifts in mood between clusters of tracks, which gives a feeling that you are always heading into some new territory, but never knowing how this journey will proceed or end. "It's difficult to find some words about me. I'm just a home-based DJ who made many mixes for various podcasts. It's just a hobby. I love music, I love finding interesting artists & labels. My influences are coming from Detroit and Chicago, but I think my sound is always "Deep". Deep is a feeling, a state of mind, so the range of music that I would play is wide, but it's got to have that deep feeling! I've been mixing since 2001 (20 Years), where I started simply with 2 turntables and a mixer and later I progressed to digital DJ'ing. I'm interested in producing my own music but for now that is merely a dream. It seems too difficult and hard to reach because I just don't have the necessary knowledge and maybe the input from an artist. That's why I keep focusing on mixing. Of course, as a DJ you want bookings, but if you don't have the right connections you're lost in the large DJ pool. I don't want to get lost in that race, I am here just for the enjoyment of the music and to push out the amazing things that I constantly discover for others to enjoy too." Tommy Köhler, June 2021 https://soundcloud.com/tom-larson

Avenue Red Podcast #186 - Volar & S.Aers

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red is back to present more ace underground Russian DJ's, this time a young duo named Volar & S.Aers from the city of Perm, which lies on the banks of the Kama River, close to the Ural Mountains in central Russia. Their hometown of Perm is actually the Easternmost city of Europe. These guys have been following Avenue Red for some years and have crafted an exclusive 106-minute-long mix of deep, driving, drugged-out house and techno that cruises along steadily at around 124 bpm for the whole duration. Expect to hear all kinds of Terry Lee Brown Jr.-esque deepness blended with turbulent dub techno sounds, forgotten early 00's west coast US house records and other oddball inclusions that gel together in a mix that is truly, fully Avenue Red - embossed with the full suite of hallmarks. "We are both from Perm city, Russia. The mix was recorded live during a late night session in our studio. We are participants of the DJ collective LACONISM: https://soundcloud.com/laconism_music - check it out and enjoy exploring this unique selection! Big thanks to Avenue Red for all the incredible and inspirational mixes that it has delivered over the years!" https://soundcloud.com/alex_volar https://soundcloud.com/saers_saers

Avenue Red Podcast #185 - Alessandro Crimi

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 21 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Swiss underground electronic music heavyweight Alessandro Crimi celebrates the release of his latest album, Sirius, by making his 10th contribution for Avenue Red. The album was released last month on London label Natural Expressions, both digitally and on a limited edition cassette tape in a beautiful silk screen printed package. It is a deep techno/electro masterpiece loaded with futuristic machine soul, uniquely crafted sound designs with pulsating, intense rhythmic energy and shimmering, haunting, ethereal melodies. It is themed on a journey though our galaxy, as most tracks are aptly titled after a named star or constellation. Here Alessandro has taken us out even deeper into the cosmos with a 90-minute mix of dreamy electro magic created exclusively for Avenue Red. Get lost in your own space to this! As always with this guy... it's something special. >> Alessandro Crimi - Sirius // Natural Expressions (2021) https://naturalexpressions.bandcamp.com/album/sirius-nex006 https://soundcloud.com/alessandro_crimi https://soundcloud.com/waehlscheibe See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-153-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-125-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/avenue-red-is-5-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-083-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-069-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-032-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-027-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-006-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/radio-show-007

Avenue Red Podcast #184 - Ayumi

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 07 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red is proud to present a multi-genre underground DJ/selector who we have known about and admired since around the time Avenue Red launched in 2013. Enter Ayumi from Brooklyn, New York - a very busy and productive mixmaster who can string together a perfect set of seemingly any style of electronic music with equal aplomb. With perfect mixing and interesting tunes that keep you curious, guessing what's next, grooving, dreaming, stepping... he has done over 100 such high quality mixes, which are all available on his Soundcloud page. The majority of his mixes are of a style that overlaps in large amounts with the stylistic output of Avenue Red, so we figured it was high time to send an invitation his way. In response, Ayumi has dropped us 73 minutes of deep, dubbed-out house and techno tracks, mixed to the maximum standard and intelligently arranged into something wholesome and beautiful that is greater than the sum of its parts. "Here's a mix of Dub Techno / House that represents my journey living in my neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn, NYC. I wanted to capture how it is raw, groovy with so much soul. Dub Techno / House can often sound similar and sometimes even monotonous, which can be great for smooth listening. For this mix though, I focused on a track selection that shows variety and character, similar to Bushwick." Ayumi, May 2021 https://soundcloud.com/ayumibrooklyn

Avenue Red Podcast #183.1 - Liepu Saloj

Avenue Red presents part 2 of this 2-part podcast episode by Liepu Saloj from Kaunas, Lithuania. This one takes you on the same kind of wild, undulous ride through a wide breadth of tempos and styles, generally in some kind of eccentric orbit around planet techno. However it is certainly the more "afterhours vibes" mix of the two. https://soundcloud.com/liepusaloj See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-183-liepu-saloj https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-128-1-liepu-saloj https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-128-liepu-saloj

Almost exactly 2 years ago Avenue Red featured a Lithuanian DJ/artist in a two-part episode of ethereal, beautiful yet strange techno-oriented stylings. He came from his country's second largest city of Kaunas. His name was Liepu Saloj... and he's back! And it's yet another double-mix payload too! :D For this first instalment he delivers almost 100 minutes of his trademark DJ'ing style of high-intensity, tightly sequenced, unusually mixed techno deepness that excites the ear, captures the imagination and moves the body in equal measures. https://soundcloud.com/liepusaloj See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-128-1-liepu-saloj https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-128-liepu-saloj

Avenue Red Podcast #182 - zodya

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Mon, 05 Apr 2021 00:00:00 +0000

After a month of silence, the Avenue Red Podcast engine is cranked back up into life with a high-octane mixture of electro and breaks, delivered in a blitzkrieg assault from a Moscow-born and Berlin-based DJ, events organiser and all-round top guy known as zodya. This mix is fully "injected with the poison!", drenched in 90's rave-era nostalgia as zodya intelligently connects the dots between a lot of disparate areas of this exciting breaks-driven kind of sound. The result is a lesson in how to mix and especially "flow" as a DJ. Get ready for a super smiley, entertaining mix of total madness! "I recorded this mix at home imagining a set that I would want to hear or play at a club: energetic and eclectic. Thanks to Avenue Red for having me on. Stay safe and enjoy the flow!"

Avenue Red Podcast #181 - Quadrant Soundscape

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 03 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000

After changing city twice in 2020 - from Newcastle to Belgrade, then Belgrade to Manchester - Avenue Red has now settled here permanently in the capital of Northern England. For the first time since doing so, we are happy to present a mix from this great city as we introduce Quadrant Soundscape, a dynamic duo of promotors, DJs, producers & podcasters, each also operating under other guises (Asphalt Layer/Scavenger). They also run the Dub Explorations series, which has been alive for exactly 5 years to date. This platform is aptly-titled and through it they have transmitted 71 episodes of mind-bendingly deep, dubby, intergalactic techno sounds alongside a few intriguing guests. As we enter March and the spring season, let's embrace the uplifting vibes, the green shoots, the longer and brighter days. Let's usher in this new era of newfound optimism and hope with this cool, calm, collected blend of eclectic, soul-warming electronic music by these 2 passionate Mancunian "deep heads"! "Firstly, thank you to Alec for the opportunity to become part of the Avenue Red family, joining the incredible artists already in the series is a real privilege. This mix has been in the works for almost a year now and has taken many different forms during that time. Originally a submission made a year ago could not be released due to a defect with the recording, but here is the fresh new stereo take! Undoubtedly this time has been tough for all of us, and so this mix is a refection and reaction to how we've been feeling. There are elements of happiness, sadness, madness and everything in-between, all tracks were carefully considered and are all there on merit, bringing together our love of all things deep, dubby, house-y. This mix is best enjoyed in the sunshine with a cold one. Peace, Quadrant Soundscape."

Avenue Red Podcast #180 - Paranoid SouL

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 23 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red Podcast texts are usually rather functional: an introduction to the DJ/artist by name; some words to indicate where they come from or are based followed by some poetic, descriptive junk about the sonic contents of the package. The artwork image is often chosen after some dialogue with the artist, which almost always transpires to be one of architecture, spaces, places, a street or a skyline view from their hometown or where they are based and running their musical operations. This is not an ordinary introduction as here we have only a great mix and the backing of a strong underground reputation of some shadowy figure (or figures), whose location is unknown. This odd piece of barely intelligible text accompanies every publication from the entity known as "Paranoid SouL", who is/are also behind the awesome SPACE VIEWX label/podcast: "A Paranoid SouL is a gnomic, yet an imperceptible gathering that's held after every second. This is where perplexed Intellects, interjected Interpretations, petrified moods, unaccustomed angles, undistinguished trains.. constrained recommendations... encounter to work on their differences, formulate the existence of this being thats publicly titled David Motang." [sic] Smoke, mirrors, mystery and an hour of seriously spacey, trippy dub techno music that makes an ideal soundtrack to explore other worlds to. And surely, that's enough. "Thank you very much for being so very kind as to allow me to be part of the great Avenue Red Podcast. Had a priceless time curating the mix. I've always wished to be featured on the journey. Well with the tracklisting I'm not promising because I've recently got a job that's miles away from home and I'm still uncertain when I'll be going home and not only that but now that I got a job my time on electronics is very short and limited but I'll try my utmost best although I'm not promising... really hope this won't sabotage my release submission.

Avenue Red Podcast #179 - Álfbeat

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 09 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000

It's time to introduce another act from Iceland. Emerging from the cold, bleak, beautiful land of many contrasts and a massively high per-capita population of true underground music heads, Avenue Red welcomes a friend and DJ/collector Ása Lind Finnbogadóttir AKA Álfbeat from Reykjavik. This trailblazing 68-minute session encompasses a wide range of styles: from abstract electronic breakbeats to IDM; from razor sharp futuristic electro to deep, minimalistic techno. Here Ása shows her musical maturity and wisdom, with top quality mixing and classy, considered sequencing to open her account here at Avenue Red! It's also uplifting to see that, as is common with the Icelandic underground folks, plenty of support is given to her fellow Icelandic creators in this "far-out" set of tracks that are both stark and enchanting, like the local landscapes. "I was truly honoured for being asked to make a mix for Avenue Red. I have listened to many great mixes in this series. I have been home in quarantine like most people and have been spinning a lot of music. This is a varied techno mix with some abstract electro for good measure, featuring new Icelandic music with some proper beats! ;)" Ása Lind Finnbogadóttir, February 2021 https://soundcloud.com/djalfbeat

Avenue Red Podcast #178 - Nemanja Stanojcic

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 29 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red presents the second instalment of true deepness from DJ Nemanja Stanojcic, who hails from Vrnjačka Banja, Serbia. This is yet another all-vinyl selection from his nice collection of subterranean house & techno, as always layered nicely with an undercurrent of dreamy, groovy, trippy vibes. "Hi everyone! This mix picks up where my last one for Avenue Red Podcast (episode 143) left off... welcome back into my world of spaced-out deep house grooves." Nemanja Stanojcic, January 2021 https://soundcloud.com/nemanjastanojcic See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-143-nemanja-stanojcic

Avenue Red Podcast #177 - Carloscres

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000

For the first time in a long time (and we haven't had many), Avenue Red presents a mix from the USA. Here we present Carloscres, a producer and DJ from Caracas, Venezuela who is now based in Houston, Texas. Primarily a purveyor of refined, high grade deep house/tech house stylings, Carloscres established himself within the underground music scene from his growing catalogue of widely-supported productions and by playing in a plethora of interesting bars, clubs and special music events around the states. As a producer, his career kicked off with his first EP on Andre Kronert's 2600 Records, followed by another release on Nikola Gala's imprint. Over the years his works have graced many labels including Loco Records, Bosom, Soulstar, Society 3.0, Jesus Was Black and Oslo's Bogota Records. This mix is his latest document as DJ: a strong selection of brooding minimalist tech house; breezy, twilight deep house; driving, late night tech house and some scattered, jagged jazz-house vibes to finish. "I grew up in Venezuela and have been playing and producing music since 2008, always trying to innovate and shape the deeper side of House and Techno. A few weeks ago I decided to record my first vinyl-only mix. This 1-hour journey is something between deep, dub and minimal House, with some amazing artists that I’ve been digging lately. Last but not least, I want to thank Alec and Avenue Red for the opportunity, and I really hope you enjoy the mix!" Carlos Mateu, January 2021 https://soundcloud.com/carloscres

Avenue Red Podcast #176 - Stas Vasilev

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 07 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red presents another new episode on another Christmas day (today being Christmas for Orthodox countries like Russia, Ukraine, Serbia etc), as we introduce yet another DJ from Moscow, Russia... enter house music maestro Stas Vasilev! Stas is a true don of the kind of music that would be an ideal backdrop at smartly-decorated neon cocktail bars, or at sweet summer beaches with his trademark sound of jazzy, funky uplifting house and broken nujazz. This is the perfect antidote to the dark winter. We recommend listening at high volume with a well-garnished Mojito in hand, wearing your best Hawaiian shirt - shades on too. Let's take a moment to look towards the summer with this perfectly mixed, treacly flow of kicking 4/4 ear candy to get 2021 underway here on the Avenue Red Podcast! https://soundcloud.com/stas-vasilev

Avenue Red Podcast #175 - Bogota Soundsystem

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 25 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red has brought forth with a Christmas-day release. This is the hidden gift behind the tree that has cometh at the 8th hour past noon. We welcome Lille-based Columbian-French selector extraordinaire Victor Mottez, who musically masquerades under the guise of Bogota Soundsystem. Here Victor takes us on a nostalgic trip through the Hacienda-era influences that are rife in his record box full of edgy new beat, acid house, new wave and more. "I am Colombian-born, north of France raised, currently based in Lille, French Flanders capital. I play pretty much every style from ambient music to new beat via Italo/dub disco. I've got affection for a wide range of music. One adjective: esoteric selection. Thanks again to Alec for giving me this opportunity to express myself on his channel. I wanted to build a multi-genre mix but with a real guideline, playing only 80's & 90's sounds. The result is a mix of breaks, slow trance, dub techno with a little touch of Balearic & house music. Full of dreamy, trancey and melancholy sounds, this mix will lead you to timeless motion. Hope you'll like it, and that it will make you want to go back to the club quickly!" Victor Mottez, December 2020 https://soundcloud.com/bogota-soundsystem

Avenue Red Podcast #174 - Elistratov

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000

We are so pleased to bring this one forth, Moscow-based Elistratov is back for his second mix on Avenue Red! Expect more of the same as we got last time around: a focused set of radioactive, schizophrenic, eyes-wide-open neurotic deep house pulsating with insatiable grooves and transcendental soundscapes. Here we show you a real pro who has researched the landscape of deep electronic music and knows how to select, how to package it up neatly into a special product of his own. The end product is always greater than the sum of its parts with this one. Here's the news! "I am a vinyl collector & a digger for the musical gems, also a DJ with utmost precision and experience for my craft. Being a resident of the Moscow-based label Sakskøbing, I am also a core member of the bar/record shop called Deficit in Moscow, where I am the curator... take a look and you can find thousands of records currently on the shop's Discogs page. Hope you enjoy this second submission for Avenue Red!"

Avenue Red Podcast #173 - Kruglenko

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 27 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Next up on the Avenue Red Podcast is a DJ and producer from St. Petersburg, Russia known as Kruglenko. We have seen this guy around on SoundCloud thanks to the various recommendation algorithms, noticing his quality mixes and also his ear for productions are clearly getting to a high level... then he submitted a mix to us. Just shows the algorithms are functioning well over here! What we received is a solid dancefloor-focused, heads-down and elbows-up DJ mix of driving, deep dubby techno and house. Music that is constructed in many implementations from the blueprints of the Basic Channel & Maurizio works. These are the sprawling stylistic tributaries of music that have flowed down-river since those halcyon days and humble beginnings. We hear a lot said these days about the idiosyncratic underground house/techno scenes in France, Germany, Romania ("Rominimal") etc... something equally intriguing and vibrant continues to thrive across the vast swathes of European Russia too and we are proud to champion the players that are busy pushing their visions of underground music and culture over there too! This mix from Kruglenko will hypnotise you to your core, twist you mind and shatter your bones on a good soundsystem. Press play. It's time to breathe in the cold, dark air, close your eyes and let the strobe lights flash through your eyelids. "Hi, Kruglenko from Saint Petersburg, Russia here. I have been a DJ and musician since 2008. I prefer the raw sound of house and techno with notes of dub and minimal. In November 2019 I debuted with a release on MixCult Records, a very good underground deeb/dub techno label from my hometown. I hope you will like this selection!"

Avenue Red Podcast #172 - Caillou

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 19 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red welcomes the second coming of the exquisitely tasteful, refined deep house and techno selector from Paris known as Caillou. Here he has delivered a mix not too dissimilar to his first, but has pushed a little deeper into the dreamier, sleepier territories of his unique record collection. "I'd like to thank Alec for the opportunity to contribute again to Avenue Red. I wanted to do something deep and mellow but with tracks that I actually play at parties when I get early morning slots, just pitched down a bit to have a more home listening feel. So all the tracks in there have been tested on dancefloors, but hopefully this is a mix you can listen to at home if you're stuck inside. Shout out to the bosses Matt Pond (https://soundcloud.com/deepsystems) and Cosmicsou (https://soundcloud.com/souhail88) for coining the term Sleephouse, which I think suits this style of house music, and to all the artists featured in here for their amazing and inspiring work. Here's full tracklist hints for all the diggers ;) Udmo (Analogue Attic, 2016) STL (Smallville, 2009) !nterject!on (Verdant Recordings, 2018) Chaos In The CBD (In Dust We Trust, 2018) Duccio (Batti Batti, 2018) Kami-Sakunobe House Explosion K-S.H.E AKA DJ Sprinkles (Skylax, 2010) Julius Steinhoff (Church, 2019) Francis Harris (Scissor and Thread, 2014) Paxton Fettel (Greta Cottage Workshop, 2014) Moomin (Smallville, 2013) Arnaldo (Greta Cottage Workshop, 2011) Tristen (White, 2016) Huerta (Amadeus Records, 2019) Patrice Scott (Sistrum Recordings, 2016) Marvin Belton (Ferrispark, 2011) Feel free to drop me a line in the comments.

Avenue Red Podcast #171 - Chryslsm

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 05 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red is proud to present a newcomer to the podcast series who is a Berlin-based PhD student, a music collector, curator, DJ and also a co-founder of [IAS] https://soundcloud.com/intrinsic-audio-sessions Intrinsic Audio Sessions podcast. Enter Chryslsm (real name Joshua Martin), who is originally from Cape Town, one of the three capital cities of South Africa. Chryslsm is well-known throughout the underground world of deep, dubby, techy and ambient music stylings that Avenue Red largely centres upon. His SoundCloud page is loaded with swathes of incredible deep mixes, expertly crafted by a man with discerning taste in a broad spectrum of music. The same can be said for his IAS podcast, a project that draws many parallels with Avenue Red, which has been running almost the same length of time and has many guests in common. Here Joshua shows his clear sky thinking and pure distilled focus in creating an eye-opening journey through deep, dubbed-out house & techno that is logical, progressive, smooth-flowing and full of dazzling soundscapes. It is soaked in melancholy, full of edgy, pulsating rhythms and it is groovy as hell. A real heads-down mix to zone out to as we sink into the atmospheric autumn/winter months. "This mix brings together the sounds that characterise my love for the dub techno genre: atmospheric, immersive and adaptable to a range of moods and energy levels. It features songs from some of my all-time favourite producers, such as Mike Schommer, Roger Gerressen and Rhythm & Sound. Avenue Red is a podcast I've followed for many years, so I'm very happy to be able to contribute to this great series."

Avenue Red Podcast #170 - Tripdrop

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Mon, 26 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000

This podcast comes from Tripdrop (real name Nikita Polyakov) an artist and DJ from the city of Rostov-on-Don in the south-west of Russia. This is the second DJ on the series from this city after MA.XIM (see: https://soundcloud.com/ma-xim-profile), who delivered a trio of excellent mixes (episodes 034, 034.1 and 034.2) for us almost 5 years ago, all having quite similar styles to what is on show here in episode 170. Here Nikita has delivered an hour of deep, hypnotic, spaced-out tech house, minimal and breaks tracks laced with infectious, driving grooves. This is a real heads-down mix with a laser-focus on the subtle elements of his sound, the echoed, scattered sonic details and sweeping pads washing over relentless, sharp-edged electronic beats. "I am a DJ and producer with a few releases on German and Italian labels. When I recorded this mix I tried to compile music that is purely deep and groovy. It includes minimal, tech house and breaks genres. When you listen to it, you can dive into yourself and miss the moment you start shaking your head or start dancing :) I want to wish all listeners to tune into the vibe and say that it's an honour for me to be a part of Avenue Red. Thank you to Alec for this opportunity!" Nikita Polyakov, October 2020 https://soundcloud.com/tripdrop https://tripdrop.bandcamp.com/

Avenue Red Podcast #169 - Edward Bei

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 07 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000

For the 169th Avenue Red Podcast episode (and 200th upload on the SoundCloud page) we welcome back Edward Bei from northern Portugal for his second contribution to the series. This time Edward has created an enchanting, entrancing 50-minute mix of sleepy, dreamy ambient music. This mix has been proven to work well as a calming bedtime soundtrack, which aids with drifting slowly into the realms of slumber. With a magical selection of sounds and ultra-smooth work on the blends, Edward has the perfect potion to calmly pull you deep under! "I hope these soundscapes bring you some peace in these crazy times. I am very glad to be back on Avenue Red! And now... it's time to relax."

Avenue Red Podcast #168 - Nanni Bottura

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Mon, 21 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0000

For this next Avenue Red Podcast episode we welcome Nanni Bottura (real name Giovanni Bottura), a refined crate-digging DJ and music enthusiast from the beautiful, vibrant Italian capital city of Rome. Here Giovanni has delivered us a lengthy almost 2.5-hour journey through a diverse mixture of records from his intriguing collection. Expect all kinds of sounds from tech-edged house and 4/4 dubby techno oddities through to razor-sharp, electrifying breaks and ravey sounds. It's a really interesting mix bursting with energy, as Giovanni showcases his supreme taste and his raw talent on the decks. "First of all I want to thank Alec for this opportunity. The DJ set was recorded during lockdown in Italy, where I am currently living. In that time more than any other thing, music was my happy refuge, my personal escape from reality. During that long period as the world stopped, I dug very deeply into different musical genres and the journey that you are about to listen to is one of the results of this research. It is a blend of new and not-so-new releases, which were aligned with my personal taste of the moment. Lots of breaky and spacey stuff in there. I really hope you’ll enjoy the mix!" Giovanni Bottura, September 2020 https://soundcloud.com/nannibottura PS. The artwork image was taken by Giovanni himself in Rome.

Avenue Red Podcast #167 - NEZ

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 04 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0000

The Avenue Red Podcast brings yet another new name to the series as we present the artist, collector, DJ and WarmState Records label boss known as NEZ (real name Amaury Rondon) from Santo Domingo, the 1-million-strong capital city of the Dominican Republic. This is the first time we have featured a DJ from the Caribbean. The WarmState Podcast recently featured episodes from Avenue Red frontman Alec Pritchard and resident Andy Green. We recognised the strong work going into this label and after some discussions, this killer mix followed from NEZ - a trailblazing, sublimely mixed selection of warm, bouncy, groovy tech house and deep house sounds from the underground. "Traveling in 1 hour and 16 minutes through a variety of melodic and danceable moments, with a hints of acid, Detroit and dub... the storyline is to chart the evolution through time of the essence of house, techno and electro sounds. Stay safe and enjoy this journey." Amaury Rondon, September 2020 https://soundcloud.com/nez_dj https://soundcloud.com/warmstate https://warmstaterecords.bandcamp.com See Also: https://soundcloud.com/warmstate/warmstate-podcast-09-by-alec https://soundcloud.com/warmstate/warmstate-podcast-11-by-andy-green

Avenue Red Podcast #166 - Kyrro

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 26 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000

The Avenue Red Podcast presents a fresh addition to the roster. Welcome Kyrro (real name George Kury) who is originally from France and is now based in Amsterdam, the Dutch capital city full of red light districts, trippy weed cafes and intriguing bars and clubs with a strong undercurrent of underground electronic music culture. Kyrro sent us a few mixes in the past and there was a sad story: an accidental data loss occurred on both sides and an incredible 1-hour mix he created to be released on Avenue Red was lost forever. This is the new improved version, the final directors cut, which has come 1 year later and we are over the moon to be able to finally do this! One word comes to mind from the sounds within: Glacial. This mix really captures a mood of travelling through cold icy waters and exploring landscapes full of glaciers... the loneliness, the isolation - apart from the odd polar bear - and the beautifully barren nature of such a place is all wrapped up into one dreamy, textured package... full of echo, melancholy and slow, timeless motion. "I grew up in France in the 90's playing electric guitar and experimenting with synthesizers. I produce analogue soundscapes using hardware tools with a mix of raw elements and a modern touch. I love living in Amsterdam where I am constantly working to shape deep and ambient electronics into my own sound, while continuing to explore new musical horizons. This journey is all about deep, dubby techno energy put together in different shades of red. Thanks to Avenue Red and to all contributing artists on this amazing project, which I am now finally a proud part of!" George Kury, August 2020 https://soundcloud.com/kyrroarts https://m.facebook.com/kyrroarts https://kyrro-arts.bandcamp.com

Avenue Red Podcast #165 - Gusev

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 14 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000

It's time to get educational. Hannover-based Russian-German selector Dmitry Gusev returns for his 7th contribution to Avenue Red, delivering a smoothly blended selection of house classics strictly from the underground. Playing from the heart exclusively from his personal vinyl collection, this is Gusev's "must-hear" set of desert island house records. It's time for school. Press play and let these timeless groovy sounds wash over you. "Hello all music lovers, I recorded this mix maybe 5-6 years ago and it's still my favourite mix, but somehow I never uploaded it or shared it anywhere until now. The idea was very simple, I selected 16 all-time favourite house tracks from the 90's up to the early 2000's and mixed them together in one go. I think that every house music lover should know these 16 tracks. Enjoy!"

Avenue Red Podcast #164 - Prakash

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 07 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red welcomes Prakash, an experienced DJ and producer from the Spanish island of Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands about 150 kilometres off the northwestern coast of Africa. Prakash is a very knowledgeable guy and has been collecting music and spinning for almost 15 years, along the way releasing stacks of masterful mixtapes and playing at some interesting gigs internationally, as well as at home. He also turned his hand to music production and running his own vinyl label, Travellin Music, where he has featured on the only release to date with a remix from Vancouver tech house legend Jay Tripwire. Prakash is a true cross-genre DJ, but it's clear to see his strong focus on the 90's/early 2000's tech house sounds from the origin of the genre. He lists among his Music idols: Craig Richards, Terry Francis, Steve Bug, Mike Huckaby, ZIP, Move D, Kerri Chandler, Nathan Coles, Bushwacka! and Silverlining AKA Asad Rizvi. That list makes for a tidy aperitif for what's in store in this presentation, his glowing CD-length mix for Avenue Red. "I'm Prakash from Gran Canaria. I have been sharing my music taste since 2006 when I was studying at Loughborough University in England, UK and always try to squeeze music from various genres into my sets to keep things spicy and interesting.

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 29 Jul 2020 00:00:00 +0000

For this next Avenue Red Podcast episode we welcome a mix from a man who has the melodic sensibilities of underground music neatly wrapped up in his own unique style. Pavlov is a master selector from the Russian capital city of Moscow, where he runs/is resident at the well-respected Теплоinside (translates as "Heat Inside") parties, where all manner of classy, deep, melodic styles rule supreme under his stewardship. We invite you to check his other mixes on his pages (linked below). Ultra classy stuff. In this mix for Avenue Red, Pavlov has focused on the most infectious, elegant and emotive electro-styled sounds in his record box. And he really has executed it with his usual panache, with perfect transitions all the way. Prepare to be dazzled! "In this mix I wanted to reveal the positive side of the electro style in order to see the sunsets and catch the warm wind. I know Avenue Red podcast for a long time, some of my friends from Turkey and Russia recorded mixes for this project, so glad to be next involved."

Avenue Red is back with a fierce, techy mix of house, breaks and electro from Ian Lane, a collector and selector from the city of Galway on the west coast of The Republic of Ireland. This is yet another tough, relentlessly groovy installment in the series to prime us all for our eventual return to the smoked-out dancfloors when the clubs re-open. Ian shows what a solid DJ he is technically - this is a lesson in the flow of a pro with intricately puzzled together selections, both new & old. "I'm loving the challenge of throwing lots of different genres together and trying to keep the mix interesting while also keeping a good flow. This mix is quite high energy and weaves through some dub techno, breaks and house. I'm very thankful to Alec for giving me the oppertunity to showcase my sound and I am humbled to see the calibre of artists and mixes that have come before me already. I'm a big fan of Avenue Red and through this page I have been introduced to some amazing music from DJ's all around the world. Thanks again and hope you enjoy my mix!"

Our underground hero from down under in Adelaide, Australia known as Code618 steps up with his selection of 12 records, 10+ years old. Prepare to be dazzled with his stories from the 1990's, as he projects the magic of the music in his record box from a time when quality house and techno was beginning to blossom into something unstoppable. It's raw, it's real, it's the sound of the humans and the machines talking on a deep level and getting on just great. "I spent quite a while thinking about the track selection and can honestly say each of these resonates strongly with me for a variety of reasons. I wanted to include artists and labels that form the foundation of my vinyl collection. These are tracks I can recall the first time I heard the needle drop on the vinyl surface... where I was, what I was thinking, how it made me feel... These were pieced together in the old school way – 2 venerable Technics 1200 MkII's and a mixer in between. I hope these tracks resonate in some way for you too."

Avenue Red Podcast #161 - Nightwalk

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 20 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red is back after a 4 week hiatus, which has given a some space for people to digest the dense schedule of mixes that came during the peak phase of global lockdown. Now we are happy to break the chains and resume the march forwards with our underground mission. Finally we can unleash this absorbingly deep, trippy session from Nightwalk, who hails from the city of Yoshkar-Ola, capital of the Mari El Republic in Russia in the far-out, easternmost reaches of Europe. We can confirm from experience that this mix is best enjoyed loud in high quality headphones on an epic walk through the night in unusual, mysterious places with the poison of your choice. See if you can separate out the voices in your head from the edgy spoken monologues, which appear constantly throughout this 100+ minutes of acutely atmospheric deep house and techno sounds. https://soundcloud.com/dmanightwalk

Our man in Amsterdam formerly known as Trepid returns to the Avenue Red Podcast with yet another sublime mix of deep, dubbed out, dreamy, melodic electronic music. This is his third contribution to the series, but this time under his new dubtommy alias, which he converted to last year. This is an all-vinyl mix fusing deep house with some breaks/electro cuts, a very nicely wrapped package of sweet delights to help turn up the brightness dial on our temporarily shut-in, locked-down, greyscale lives. It's time to recline and let it all flow through you, preferably at high volume. "Before we all know it, we'll be back on the dancefloor shaking our booties off. Enjoy this mix as a warm-up for what's gonna come very soon!" dubtommy, May 2020 https://soundcloud.com/dubtommy1 See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-114-trepid https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-108-trepid

Avenue Red Podcast #159 - Heerd

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Mon, 18 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000

We welcome the return of the versatile, exciting, ever-rising DJ/production duo known as Heerd (George Olaru & Stroe Ionut) from Bucharest, Romania. They are best known for their Romanian minimal/tech house styles both on the decks and with their brilliantly produced tracks from the studio (links below). However, following on from where they left off with Avenue Red Podcast episode 113 (https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-113-olaru) they have provided the next chapter in their odyssey though trip-hop, downtempo and electronic-edged, experimental hip-hop. Seriously classy stuff here. "It has been a period where we had to get comfortable staying most of the time only at home, so we listened more to ambient and downtempo styles of music, which naturally led us to recording this mix. We consider this to be the Part 2 successor of our first trip-hop & downtempo mix for Avenue Red, but with a more experimental and underground sound this time."

Avenue Red Podcast #158 - Lera Creeper

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 13 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red has something tough, dark and clubby for you to put on loud, close your eyes and enjoy as you picture yourselves in a thumping, cavernous nightclub. They won't be opening for us anytime soon, so we will focus on helping out with the cause in our own little way for now. Here for episode 158, Lera Creeper (real name Valerie Tsukanova) from the Ukrainian capital city of Kiev presents an hour of thundering techno, breaks and electro that is mixed perfectly and paced intelligently. Here she truly demonstrates her sharpness and technical wizardry, along with her good taste for dancefloor-centric underground selections. Turn it up. Go nuts. "This mix was recorded during the first week of quarantine. It's dark, melancholic yet trippy, dreamy and the dancing mood reflects the way we miss the life we all had before the pandemic. If you are like me who likes different genres in one recording, then you might enjoy the combination of breaks, techno, electro, trance, minimal and ambient elements. Hope your ears will be satisfied xx" Lera Creeper, May 2020 https://soundcloud.com/leracreeper

Avenue Red Podcast #157 - Lisa Sawyer

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 30 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red is proud to finally present a mix from a lady from Bucharest, Romania known as Lisa Sawyer. After several submissions and endless discussions with us, she has begun to exceed herself and has eased into a unique flow and groove, purveying her own vision of deep techno/minimal/tech house music. Lisa has also been making music, which is sounding very promising with some tracks we heard having a Swayzak/Theorem-like kind of sound! Originally hailing from the city of Ploiești, those informed can hear from what & how she plays that the vibes from Bucharest - the Romanian capital 60 km to the south where she now resides - have really rubbed off on her. She rightfully embraces that passion and classy underground style and runs with it, adding her own unique twist. Always hypnotic and groovy, often dark and twisted, sometimes light and fun and bouncy... there's a lot to enjoy about this mix in any context. But damn it... let's hope we can hear this kind of thing coming through a booming, loud, top-end soundsystem in a dark, smoky club soon! In the meantime, turn it up, close your eyes and imagine such a room of your own choosing. And please, do add strobes and lasers in there! "Here I present a cosmic journey to the self." Lisa Sawyer, April 2020 https://soundcloud.com/lisa-sawyer-6987

Avenue Red Podcast #156 - Torsten Brinkmann

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 26 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Berlin-based master selector Torsten Brinkmann is back with a vibrant, colourful, uplifting selection of house, techno and breaks. This is his second contribution for the Avenue Red Podcast. It is condensed, short & sweet and as with all of his mixes, executed with precision and true German efficiency. "Actually this was the first mix I recorded for a while. I took a break from DJ'ing for 2 years but never stopped digging so i had a playlist in mind already for this one. My intention was to create a short mix with a lot of energy and electronic elements, which you could have played in a club at peak time."

Avenue Red Podcast #155 - Cenk Akyol

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red has something a bit different to present here... Cenk Akyol, an exquisitely tasteful record collector from Istanbul, Turkey has provided an hour and a half-long, all-vinyl selection of eclectic beats from around the world titled: "Techno Soul 2020". Like some Turkish Gilles Peterson, Cenk has delivered a very wholesome blend of intricate, underground music - no filler! "Since 2000, each year I record a 'Techno Soul' selection... picking tracks from those times when we went out without hesitation, on impulse, guaranteeing to hear and dance to fine underground music. A couple of new releases are included as well. I am very happy to present this year's edition through the amazing Avenue Red. Nothing but high quality house and techno with soul, to help you all get lost within the fog & strobes!" Cenk Akyol, April 2020 https://soundcloud.com/cenkakyol

Avenue Red 1210 Mk11 - Alec Pritchard

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000

The very first Avenue Red upload was Avenue Red 1210 Mk1 - Alec Pritchard. The title and concept of this sister series pays homage to the mainstay of vinyl DJ'ing culture... the legendary Technics 1210 Turntables, which first appeared on the market back in 1972! The DJ carefully selects 12 records, with every record being at least 10 years old, uprooting some forgotten and unheard sounds from each featured DJ's personal record collection. Now almost 7 years after the first episode, Alec returns with Mk11... It's a strange potion of melancholic, deep, soulful, groovy, mysterious house music with some unusual electro and techno sounds also stirred into the pot. Served with a garnish of human DJ'ing soul, minor mistakes and many clicks, crackles & pops along the way. https://soundcloud.com/alecpritchard See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-150-alec-pritchard https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/avenue-red-is-5-alec-pritchard https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-082-alec-pritchard https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-064-alec-pritchard https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-002-alec-pritchard https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/1210-mk1-alec-pritchard ===== 01 Korsakow - Real Chillas // Decore (2001) 02 Télépopmusik - Breathe (Jori Hulkkonen Remix) // Chrysalis (2002) 03 Nick Holder - Feelin' Sad // DNH Records (1998) 04 DJ Jes - Wanna Fall In Love // Afterhours (1999) 05 D.Diggler - Girls & Money // Raum...musik (2000) 06 Kenneth Graham - Good Times // Visage (2001) 07 La Cienda Honduras - Vi Hoppas På Det Bästa // Gungeligung (1998) 08 Cab Drivers - Sunflash // Cabinet (2001) 09 Yann Fontaine - Take Control // Simple Soul Recordings (2000) 10 Chicago Transit Authority - Being There // Rescue Recordings (2006) 11 Ross 154 - Mayflower // Eevo Lute Muzique (1993) 12 Similau - Shapes // Baraka Records (2000)

Part 2 of 2 from young talent Vlad Barocco from the city of Dnipro in eastern Ukraine, dropping us some more club-friendly electro madness. "In difficult times for my country, I recorded this mix inspired by the invincible spirit of our young generation, who, despite the war in part of the country, did not lose hope for a bright future..."

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 05 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Following the blissful, serene ambient selection from Alessandro Crimi, which helped us to press the mental reset button, it's time to switch it up 10 levels and get back to the club zone in our living rooms and headphones. Bringing us a tight selection of fiery electro missiles, we welcome young talent Vlad Barocco from the city of Dnipro in eastern Ukraine. This mix is short and sweet, high energy levels and invisible mixing... Vlad has kindly created a part 2 that will follow in the coming days. Stay well and let music be our medicine to help us all ride out this unusual period of isolation and carnage. Turn it up loud, close your eyes and feel the bass... you are in the club now!!!

Alessandro Crimi from St. Gallen in Switzerland returns for his next instalment on Avenue Red, exactly 1 year since his last, which was episode 125. This time Alessandro has put his mind to making a special concoction of deep ambient and trippy slow techno selections, creating an ideal audio tonic to help us all to ease our minds. "I always wanted to record an ambient/experimental/downtempo/dub mix and now was the perfect moment for this. In these difficult times it's important to heal our mind, body & soul. This mix will be the perfect medicine for it! Stay healthy folks and soothe yourselves in any way you can... I provided this soundtrack to help you to drift away with some optimistic thoughts."

Alex Tasso AKA Submoon from Taranto, South Italy is back for an introspective trip through some of his deep dubby techno records. "Really happy to be back on this powerful mix series and I thank Alec for this opportunity to spread my mixes through his whole community. Within this mix there is everything that influences me the most, from small reverberated sounds to ethereal cords and pads. I hope this mix will distract you in some way and tell the story I thought about while selecting the records."

Avenue Red Podcast #151 - Code618

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 05 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0000

First we had Tim Boyd from Sydney, then for our 100th episode we had George Hysteric from Melbourne... now enter Code618 from Adelaide, Australia's 5th largest city of 1.4 million. This guy is a true veteran in the game. Here he shares a document revealing the power of profound underground knowledge and lengthy diggers experience, coupled with passion and technical aptitude as a DJ. A perfect fit for Avenue Red, what a dream of a deep mix we have here from the distant burning lands down under. "Hi! Code618 from Adelaide, Australia here. Techno and house vinyl collector since the inception of the genres 30-odd years ago. DJ'ed regularly from 92-98 when Adelaide played the part of 'Southern Outpost' to the thriving scenes in Detroit, Europe and the UK. Being so far from anywhere and with pre internet communication, a sound and style distinct to Adelaide evolved whilst at the same time inspiration was clearly sourced from Detroit, Chicago, the UK and in particular Dutch labels such as Djax-Up-Beats, Eevolute and Shiver. These days I try and blend the previous 3 or so decades of techno and deep house from an extensive vinyl collection with current tracks and share these sounds on guest radio mixes and for those on the same wavelength. I'm a big fan of the Avenue Red series and with so many amazing producers and DJ's contributing it really is humbling to get the chance to pull together a mix and contribute. For this mix I took my usual approach of selecting new and old tracks for a one take, 100% vinyl session to see where it led. Spanning 1983 to 2019 and elements of house, electro and straight up techno I've added quite a few Australian labels or producers to this one as I'm proud of the output from my country and Adelaide in particular (origin of Juice Records, Undefined Recordings and Nightime Drama). Respect to all of the artists and labels in the tracklist below! P.S. Artwork photo was taken by my wife near our house. We live surrounded by native gum trees and right next to one of Australias oldest national parks... Beautiful area however it is high risk for bush fires. Like the mix, this photo is part of the narrative and story."

Avenue Red Podcast #149 - COLD

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 14 Feb 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red welcomes the second coming of Ísar Logi Arnarsson AKA COLD from Reykjavík, Iceland. As with his first mix, this one is another patchwork quilt of techno-centric (yet rather eclectic) music that is predominantly manufactured by his Icelandic peers, some of whom have featured as guests on Avenue Red themselves. Ísar has featured two of his own productions here, both on iconic underground Icelandic labels: his 2018 track Zebra on Möller Records, and secondly his Strobe Light Network track that was on the first release of Thor's Thule Records. This mix is a work of pure wizardry. It really shines a light on the diversity, beauty and vibrancy of the music scene of this intriguing country of only 1/3 of a million people. Avenue Red is very pleased to maintain strong ties with the very talented and clued up Icelandic music heads! "Here is my Avenue Red mix number 2! It's composed entirely of Icelandic artists, besides an intro by Orbital and an outro by Brian Eno... a full journey through various different styles. I'm sure the mood of the artwork photo, which I took in Reykjavík just after the mix was recorded, will shine through and accompany the selection nicely."

For Avenue Red Podcast 148 we welcome back French maverick selector Georges White, who has recently relocated to Marseille, the second city of France on the Mediterranean south coast. George is an expert journeyman DJ - he likes to take you on a long winding adventure through many different musical landscapes and damn, he is a really smooth driver too. If you heard his previous episode (link below), you'll know exactly what is in store. Magic is contained within this high density, top quality package with a huge range of musical styles. "Really excited to present already a second Avenue Red session so soon after my debut. Same idea as in the previous one but yet with a different range of artists. Music is one of the best ways to break barriers and styles. That's always my objective."

Here he slows the pace of life down to a smooth stop, and shows you a glimpse of deep space via his thoughtful, reflective blend of crystalline ambient music.

Avenue Red Podcast #146 - Keith Anderson

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 26 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0000

With pride we welcome the return of Timeline Music boss, Keith Anderson for his third contribution to the Avenue Red series. This is a seriously tight mix that proves what a great DJ Keith is, both in terms of his technical aptitude and his tastefulness and creativity in the selection, which in this case is almost exclusively made of new 2019 releases. This is a good moment to mention that for the new year and decade in 2020, Avenue Red will begin a new live video-stream show on Keith's Timeline Music platform, which is also home to shows from other Avenue Red titans including Verdant Recordings, OHM, Mihail P, Stephen Sherdel and Josh Lentink. Alec Pritchard will be hosting the show on the first Tuesday of each month from 8pm-10pm GMT. The shows will also be published here on the Avenue Red SoundCloud page for those who cannot tune in live, with full tracklists included. "This is my 3rd mix for Avenue Red going through a selection of new music in my own style. I tried to do something a bit different to my previous efforts, I've put together a mix full of energy and funky grooves. I really hope you enjoy this session!"

Avenue Red Podcast #145 - Iva Arifaj

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 06 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red Podcast 145 comes from Iva Arifaj, a Belgrade DJ who is currently based in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. After Iva approached us, we quickly noticed that she had previously just made a mix for Alessandro Crimi & S&ro's Waehlscheibe podcast! An excellent mix that is, check it here: https://soundcloud.com/waehlscheibe/waehlscheibe-podcast-012-iva-arifaj Iva takes over the Avenue Red sound system with a gracious flow though minimal, smoked out, film noir vibes via 4/4 & breaks selections that are constantly juxtaposed between the melodic and the hypnotic. Lots of shadowy, dark and twisted elements help give the mix a theme of its own, which is perfect for the long, atmospheric wintery nights. "Hello, I am introducing myself first of all as a huge lover of quality sound and music. Exploring every day a little bit further and grabbing every opportunity to expand my musical taste, open my ears for something new. I’ve been following Avenue Red for quite some time and admire the variety of styles in the podcast series. I am really glad to have the chance to represent myself here. This mix inspired me to dig deeper, seek the darker side of the underground. I really enjoyed traveling through this journey... I hope you will too."

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 09 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red presents a veteran music digger and DJ, Nemanja Stanojcic, who hails from the town of Vrnjačka Banja in Serbia. A guy whose classy mixes we have been tracking for a while... his consistently dazzling selections of sublime deep house and techno are always put together with lots of thought and emotion. This mix is arguably one of his finest to date, one that really does grow on the listener with repeat listens. A set of tracks that capture a wonderful breezy autumnal atmosphere for us all to get lost in.

Avenue Red Podcast #142 - Wellbeck

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 27 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red presents Wellbeck, a top quality creator and purveyor of deep, dubbed out house and techno sounds. This mix is an expertly crafted, almost shamanic trip through all manner of moody, dark, industrial soundscapes, underpinned with solid grooves all the way. "My name is Lev Golikov AKA Wellbeck. I was born in the south of Russia, Krasnodar city to be precise. With my friend I recorded several releases on the label Pro-Tez, which is based in LA, USA. I played on the same stage with Anton Kubikov, Alex Danilov, OID and with the guys from Gost Zvuk. I also played DJ sets at parties ARMA and Techno Makes Sense. Before recording this mix for Avenue Red I took a lot of time digging at the record store. I wanted the mix to sound harmonious and consistent in my own style of dub techno and dub house. Hope the mix is enjoyed by many!" Lev Golikov, October 2019 https://soundcloud.com/wellbeck https://soundcloud.com/kott_wellbeck https://www.discogs.com/artist/3049903-K%C3%B6tt-Wellbeck

Avenue Red Podcast #141 - DJ Tripadvisor

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 12 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000

For this episode of the Avenue Red Podcast we have another seasoned eastern German DJ taking over, this time DJ Tripadvisor from the city of Leipzig. Here this mysterious selector has put together a spellbinding, magically worked selection of deep, minimal house and techno records. The focus of the first half is on minimalistic, rhythmic, dubby intricacy, the latter half opening up into a beautiful abyss of tripped-out melodic deepness. "This vinyl-only mix was recorded in one take without any pre-selection, like all of my mixes. The creative concept is to transport the intention to get on a timeless (musical) trip. But in a sensitive and human way... individual, non-linear with ups and downs, right and left turns. In retrospect, when I re-listen to the mix by myself, I can imagine to be on a train ride with different landscapes, stops, weather situations or be on open-water to ride waves, or just flying up high and away to the stars on a flying saucer ;) As DJ Tripadvisor I try to separate things to my other moniker. So it will be a bit more of a dubby-techno thingy." DJ Tripadvisor, October 2019 https://soundcloud.com/user-918274141 https://soundcloud.com/mint4000

Avenue Red Podcast #140 - Estimulo

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000

One of our favourite underground heroes from Berlin, the ultimate digger-selector known as Estimulo - with his long-running, cult-status online show of the same name - has delivered an intense payload of his records in an impeccably blended mix for Avenue Red. This man is a real treasure of the underground: almost unknown beyond it, yet widely known and loved within it. Now and since Avenue Red began in 2013, one of the impressum lines reads: "We aim to push DJ's and artists based solely upon the quality of their output, the refinement of their taste and their dedication to the music.". Trust us, you really cannot go wrong with this guy if this is the criterion you're truly here for. We will not attempt to categorise or define anything further, so Estimulo takes over from here using a few words and about 20 unreal sonic shurikens. Let the bass kick!! "My preferred way of approaching a mix is in the most personal way I can. In times when we get overwhelmed by vast amounts of new mixes and tracks, every day I think it's the only way for me to do it. Everyone is already playing the hot new stuff and the charts of big DJ's so the B2 tracks of long lost treasures are definitely the way to go for me. Often people tell me that they don't know any of the records I played and that's the best compliment I can get. That doesn't necessarily mean to get lost in obscurity, the joy of the music and the digging while also making people dance (we are about dance music aren't we?) and maintaining the deepness is important for me. The most interesting tracks to me are the ones for which you struggle to find a description or put them in a drawer. Is it techno, is it house, is it IDM or electro? So this mix was no different, there's a leaning towards the early 90s 'UK bleep sound' but that's just the starting point from where it can go in all directions. Genre names have never been of interest to me, so this one might well take you through 10 different genres while at the same time feeling monolithic. I hope y'all feel the same!"

Avenue Red Podcast #139 - Sputnik

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 22 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0000

For Avenue Red Podcast episode 139 we welcome Leeds-born and bred selector Barry Duke AKA Sputnik. Without doubt he is one the finest electro pilots out there, having a knowledge of the genre that is as vast as his music collection. Technically adept, his mixes are always fluid, free-flowing and exciting strides through the wilderness of true underground electro and techno, both old and new. "I'm a Leeds-based DJ who predominately plays techno and electro and has spun at various Leeds nights including the much-missed, by those who used to attend, Detatched, Future-Past, Tensile, Bistro Techno and Axiom. I've been a follower of Avenue Red for a few years now and was thinking of creating (or is it 'curating' nowadays?) a Detroit-flavoured mix that would fit in with the vibe I was getting from the mixes I'd listened to. I was hoping Alec would like the mix and host it. Pre-empting recording a mix on the off-chance, Alec messaged me and asked if I would like to get involved on his podcast. He'd been listening to my recent electro mixes and asked if I'd like to contribute a similar mix for Avenue Red. Of course I was chuffed to have been asked, accepted his request, and here is the result. Hope you enjoy!"

Avenue Red Podcast #138 - Dami Darko

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 07 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red welcomes Buenos Aires-based Damian Miranda AKA Dami Darko, a guy who has been an underground warrior of his country for the past 15 years, both as a DJ and a promoter. Damian has worked on a range of independent projects where he has made strong contributions to an increasingly rich scene in the Argentinian capital city that is dubbed "The Paris of Latin America". Classic Airlines has been his main platform for the last 6 years, a project that was started around 9 years ago together with his underground cohort Violett. This duo have managed to book and play alongside some amazing artists such as Juan Atkins, Delano Smith, Steve O'Sullivan, Mike Shannon, Deadbeat, Oshana, Cabanne, Andrey Pushkarev, Varhat, Janeret and Roger Gerressen, just to name a few. In this mix Dami Darko showcases some of the sounds that characterise Classic Airlines, with clear dubby references and flirting between the limits of house and techno - always of the deep variety. "Why Avenue Red? Simple... It is one of the best underground podcasts within this broad concept that encompasses deep music. Excellent curatorship and admirable constancy. Impossible not to want to be part of this beautiful project!"

Avenue Red Podcast #137 - Micha Lensink

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 24 Aug 2019 00:00:00 +0000

For Avenue Red Podcast 137 we welcome Amsterdam selector Micha Lensink, who has delivered a vinyl-only mix of grooving dancefloor-friendly 4/4 records. The label "tech house" has been grotesquely misappropriated over the past decade, however in the case of this mix it's the perfect description for the selection of sounds featured. Micha boldly joins the dots between disparate tracks with a variety of different moods and atmospheres, constantly mixing old with new to show his intellect, skill and panache as a DJ who can really hold a groove. Get it downloaded and carry it with you at all times! Share it and repost it on Soundcloud to help get it out there to show people what real tech house sounds like ;) "I've been around working in the background of Amsterdam's club scene for some 5 years now, most notably Cruquiusgilde and BRET and hosting my own (after)parties with Raftaf. After years of absorbing impressions and music like a sponge I'm starting to step out of the shade and focusing more on playing myself. The mix I sent is recorded after one of those endless summer nights at a private afterhours. It consists of a lot of deep goodies from the mid 90's to early 00's that still sound incredibly fresh, mixed with some more contemporary stuff I discovered lately." Micha Lensink, August 2019 https://soundcloud.com/michalensink

Avenue Red Podcast #136 - Caillou

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 13 Aug 2019 00:00:00 +0000

For this instalment of the Avenue Red Podcast we welcome Caillou, a Parisian music collector, DJ and organiser of events with his Chateau Chépère crew. Here he has sent us a mix with a distinct anti-capitalist theme, perhaps with a nod to the recent gilets jaunes movements and is aptly titled "Liberté, Égalité". It features various recorded samples and some of the finest deep house going, blended with a classy mixing style. This is a truly adorable, soulful mix that is sure to grow on anyone with taste. The following text is from the man himself, Pierre Caillou https://soundcloud.com/cailloulapierrequiroule ===== I recorded this mix for Avenue Red following a gig I did with my acolyte Starsand at a party organised by the amazing crew La Sacrée Déter in Lausanne a few month back in an old movie theater reconverted into a club (Le Bourg, Lausanne). All the records in the mix were in my bag for that night. In this mix you'll find recent cuts by artists pushing the deeper side of house and a few personal classic cuts at the end. Melancholic late night club music! I'd like to thank Alec for his kindness in his exchanges with me and his priceless advice. I've found out so much good music through this Avenue Red podcast series, so I couldn't be happier to contribute to this channel that is driven by love for music. Hopefully you like the mix. I'd like to dedicate this mix to the memory of Steve Maia Caniço, who was killed by the French police's intervention at a free party in Nantes, at 4am on June 21, 2019. “Hate does not produce love, and by hate one cannot remake the world.” ― Errico Malatesta Here's the tracklist for all the diggers: Network (1976) Frank & Tony (Scissor and Thread, 2016) DJ Sotofett (Keys Of Life, 2016) Sevensol & Bender (Kann Records, 2018) Chaos In The CBD (In Dust We Trust, 2018) Leonid (Sistrum Recordings, 2009) Ebende (Aniara Recordings, 2018) Leafar Legov (Kann Records, 2016) Lawrence (Giegling, 2016) + Interview extraite du documentaire "Alors c'est qui les casseurs ?" vimeo.com/181344588 Claro Intelecto (Delsin, 2012) 2DeepSoul (Deep Explorer, 2014) Logic (Strictly Rhythm, 1990) Derek Carr (Headspace Recordings, 2004)

Avenue Red Podcast #135 - De Yan

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Mon, 05 Aug 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Dejan Dex (from Macedonia) as we formerly knew him, has returned for his second contribution to Avenue Red Podcast under a new alias: De Yan (from North Macedonia). Possibly the only time an artist has ever, or indeed will ever come to us as a different name in a different country, without even bothering to move house. Here De Yan takes us through a tripping, grooving 4/4 wonderland of freaky tech house tracks, strongly reminiscent of those halcyon days from the heyday of the genre... think Plastic City, Wiggle, London Housing Benefit etc. Over time we always see that names change, cities get new badges, football clubs get new owners, borders move... Nothing stays the same, but true quality echoes out for eternity, sharding out into many different manifestations. This mix is De Yan's vision of the current deeper shades tech house sound of 2019. Enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/dejan-dex See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-112-dejan-dex

Avenue Red 1210 Mk10 - Rubsilent

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 19 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Surely no introduction is needed for our Istanbul correspondent: Hamza Solim AKA Rubsilent. If you need one, see the links to previous episodes below. After delivering 5 mind-boggling selections on the main series, followed by another to celebrate 5 years of Avenue Red, we now see him turn out a mix for our 1210 sister series, which is a nod to the oldskool and Technics 1210 turntables. The DJ must select 12 records that are 10+ years old... yet in Rubsilent (as with Paul Rimbaud before him on the previous episode) we have another rule breaker! We could trust he'd be greedy and need to play just one more tune - he has that gene.

Avenue Red Podcast #134 - Heerd

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red Podcast 134 comes from Heerd, a DJ and production duo made up of 2 Romanians: George Olaru and Stroe Ionut, who are both based in Bucharest. Following on from 3 awesome Avenue Red mixes from George alone, the duo made a special mix for Avenue Red after getting together for a recent studio session. The result is a wonderful hour of breezy, entrancing, seductive 4/4 grooves that shimmer and glow with the true Heerd sound. "The mix showcases the Heerd sound, which is very groovy, melodic and packed with off-kilter unpredictable tracks. We mixed between records we like to play at parties or simply to listen to at home, making for an ideal podcast selection for the hi-fi, the headphones, the car or any commute from A to B. Regarding our production output we are working continuously to evolve and enrich our sounds, which we hope will shine through in our upcoming releases. August will see the release of our 2nd EP on Canadian label COTEOF, and in the near future we will release our 'Windursfers' track on Romanian label Unutrei. Keep in touch for new releases in Autumn-Winter as well ;)" George Olaru, July 2019 https://soundcloud.com/olarugeorge https://soundcloud.com/heerd https://www.facebook.com/heerdmusic See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-113-olaru https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-107-olaru https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-076-olaru

Avenue Red Podcast #133 - Georges White

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 07 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Well, this is one hell of a mix! It's an utterly dazzling performance, a 3-hour marathon run through all of the key music that is/has been the most important and influential to the DJ. We'll let the French man with the skills, Georges White, talk the rest with his words and this rock-solid mix. "Born in the north east of France, since childhood I've been passionate about music, digging aimlessly and secretly through the vinyl collection of my father, going to the roots of blues and soul music, while also checking out the kraut and psychedelic side of 70's rock of Pink Floyd and Tangerine Dream. This took me pretty naturally towards listening to electronic music very young, to the new wave and cold sound of Depeche Mode, The Human League or New Order while I was always obsessed by black music and listening to hip hop, funk and disco before discovering house and techno in the early 90's. It was unconsciously but already clear for me that music is like a journey into life itself and it will made mine for a long time. Thanks to radio shows on Maxximum or later Couleur 3 and the reviews from influential journalists like Didier Lestrade in Liberation then in Coda. Through the years I've developed an insatiable thirst for new sounds and attitudes, creations, all that we called at that time culture. That explains my bent for groove in all forms and mixtures. But I'm firstly a 'searcher head' musical lover, moved by his passion for music and arts, whatever the boundaries of styles or countries of origin, letting inner moods and emotions drive the way, where simply 'when it sounds good I play'. Wherever life brings you, in the south or the north of France, where I met nice, special and inspirational people behind music too, among many others DJ Bouto from La Bande Adhésive, who gave me my first gig at la Poudrière in Belfort or later Steve Sibra, host of the 'Laboratoire Sonore' radio show in Montpellier, where I made many free-focused reviews during twelve years. Every meet is like a gate to a new universe, an opportunity of discovering something else you did'nt know before. A new territory. That's my point about music too. The main idea behind this session is to gather and link all the artists, labels and styles I have loved over the years in one take, melting emotions and grooves selected in this mid-year area. As the confrontation of atmospheres, life/world changes, past and present building another future, furtive thoughts and perceptions refracted and flowed through the body and soul, this session would dive you deep into this intimate experience, when time, music and people are connected to each other. Love, passion and pleasure are the only red wire through all tracks here and the story they tell together. Like an instant photography of my current situation, this is the soundtrack of my new life. I hope you'll enjoy it!!" Georges White, July 2019 https://soundcloud.com/georges-white PS.

Avenue Red Podcast #132 - Substak

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 30 Jun 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red presents a mix by Athens-based Substak, another wildly deep DJ/producer from Greece on the series. This is a magical and unique mix full of hypnotic, dubby, peculiar house & techno vibes, played nice and slow. >>>>>>>> Why Avenue Red? Substak: Cause inflated egos, big names and artificially manufactured hype are no interest to me either. >>>>>>>> What about your mix? Substak: For those that have heard me or not, my mix is like the others. Nothing different, focus on music, track selection featuring works I want others to hear and feel also. I prefer to push music from the not so well known DJ's & producers, it's never about the new tracks or "top charted" or any other nonsense fad metric with me. The mix starts with more calm, ambient sounds that passes you to dub techno sounds, then to close with more dark and techno sounds. As I say, no more words... just let the music speak ;) >>>>>>>> About now? Substak: Future releases have been scheduled, I am always open to new things & collaborations. Hope a 12" release to come soon, it's the one thing that I haven't made so far. And of course I will not stop with Avenue Red, this was just a beginning. I'm happy to work with this podcast, which is one that I notice will continue to push out episodes from the same DJ's rather than just being a 1-stop shop.

Avenue Red Podcast #131 - Elistratov

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 13 Jun 2019 00:00:00 +0000

For this episode of the Avenue Red Podcast we welcome Elistratov, a keen record collector and DJ of the deeper realms who hails from Moscow, Russia. We noticed his mixes were always short but very sweet, often around 50 minutes in duration. His all-vinyl sets are compact, perfectly crafted trips through tight, intricate selections of deep house & techno futurism that is delicate, seductive and groovy in equal measure. The way he glues his sounds together so seamlessly is very inspirational and if you're not paying close attention, the mixing seems totally invisible, imperceptible. Each record is like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle... no missing pieces, no damaged edges, everything fits together perfectly and the final picture is sharp and beautiful. "I have been in love with electronic music since childhood. As a result of colossal personal practice, with my unique selection of material and the presentation of my own style, my mixes have reached levels that I am becoming increasingly satisfied with." Vasily Elistratov, June 2019 https://soundcloud.com/elistratov

Avenue Red Podcast #130 - Running Hot

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 28 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red welcomes Running Hot, a London-based party and DJ duo with a monthly radio show on Music Box Radio. These guys are true diggers and play from any time or place on the globe where they found a good record, according to their fine tastes of course. These guys a very cultured selectors with a lot of musical knowledge between them, with monstrous prowess technically, as each mix of theirs is like a witches brew of weird and wonderful stuff. This mix is timed nicely to get us all warmed up for the northern summer... something eclectic, refreshing and quite unique. "We usually try to think of a theme when we're doing a mix. With this one we were trying to put together something a bit more club focused. Not sure we actually ended up achieving that but hope your enjoy the music anyway!"

Avenue Red 1210 Mk9 - Paul Rimbaud

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 22 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000

The Distant Worlds label boss Paul Rimbaud is back! After his amazing mix for Avenue Red Podcast 104, here he returns to reawaken the dormant Avenue Red 1210 series, where a DJ plays 12 records that are 10+ years old... But being a right dodgy South London geezer he broke the rules and smuggled an extra 7 records into this one! :D In this 1210 selection, Paul digs way back into the 90's ravey, trancey parts of his record collection as he delivers a perfect package that captures the true essence of this corner of dance music history. "I seem to remember recording this mix after a few Discogs binges of cheap 90's records, although there is some old faves from the collection there too. I think nearly all these tunes should still be available on Discogs for pennies too. The idea is of old forgotten guilty pleasures, tunes that people haven't dared to play out in years but all had their moments in time; a bit of rave, proto trance, progressive house etc. Let's face it - it's gonna be audio bovril but I hope it should reignite a few memories in the lucky few of happy, carefree times! PS. Since this mix was recorded there's definitely been a bit of an influx of that trancey, ravey sound flooding across the dance floor. See kids, everything goes in circles, the good and the bad. Peas, love and uni tees!

Avenue Red Podcast #129 - Cathy Daniëls

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 09 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000

We are proud to present a mix from a long-time friend of Avenue Red, Berlin-based Cathy Daniëls. Originally from The Netherlands, Cathy moved to Berlin to live the dream of pursuing her musical passions in a city that is widely regarded as the epicentre of underground electronic music. Respect for that! She is half of the duo Catoune with the excellent fellow Dutch DJ/producer Andrea Cichecki and is also a member of the Catharsis collective in Berlin. This mix glides smoothly through some zoned-out, druggy, trippy, mysterious house and techno records, all mixed perfectly by this master connoisseur of a DJ. "I recorded the mix with mostly new records I bought that same day. The records I selected for this mix are a typical representation of what I am playing these days."

Avenue Red Podcast #128.1 - Liepu Saloj

Lithuanian DJ Liepu Saloj is back with another feast of deep, mesmerising techno, house, breaks, electro and IDM sounds for Avenue Red. This guy has real talent we feel, he is a masterful selector, the mixing is tight as hell and always very creative in the flow. Example: check how he twists so smoothly from sublime, beautiful melodic gear into some intense, nefarious, clubbier sounds at around 1:14:00-ish. Take us to a dark warehouse already! ;) https://soundcloud.com/liepusaloj See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-128-liepu-saloj

Avenue Red Podcast #128 - Liepu Saloj

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000

This Avenue Red Podcast is a fan mail mix! Here we present Liepu Saloj from Vilnius, Lithuania - a regular name in our comments sections on SoundCloud and long-time supporter of our music. He sent over 2 mixes and both impressed us. A glowing example of the tasteful guys and girls who are tuned in! Cold, hard, trippy, slow techno here... keep an eye out for the next podcast number 128.1, also by Liepu Saloj, which is something quite different but of equal quality to what we have here. https://soundcloud.com/liepusaloj

Avenue Red Podcast #127 - Waage

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 03 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000

For this next Avenue Red Podcast episode we are keeping the Icelandic connection strong as we present the new Reykjavik wonderkid known as Waage. Known for his strongly Basic Channel/Maurizio-influenced EP's, simply titled W and W² and released on Thor's Thule imprint and Exos' X/OZ label respectively, this mix follows suit along those deep, dubbed-out techno lines. However, Kristjan assures us that there are some surprises around the corner with his forthcoming releases, with some totally new ideas and sounds and a collaboration with fellow Icelandic artist/DJ COLD, who did our 118th episode. At the request of the DJ, we will leave it there! But one last thing... Happy Birthday Mr. Waage! ;) "No words... I'll let the music talk for me." Kristjan Thor Waage, 3rd April 2019 https://www.discogs.com/artist/5876642-Waage https://soundcloud.com/thor_thule_records https://soundcloud.com/xozmusic

Avenue Red Podcast #126 - M.S.

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 19 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000

For Avenue Red Podcast 126 we welcome Michael Sieler AKA M.S. from the super cool and quirky city of Portland, Oregon near the west coast of the USA. Michael is a very keen eclectic music collector and DJ whom we discovered via his awesome deep/dub techno selections on his SoundCloud page. It seems that he has elevated his game even higher than usual for this one... an absorbing, soothing, spaced-out 80-minute trip crafted exclusively for us lucky Avenue Red folks. "A couple years ago, I was at the coast with some friends. After a late night of dancing and partying, I remember we all went to the beach (at the location seen in the artwork for this podcast) to watch the sun rise. You could hear the sound of the ocean, the calm waves splashing, and the trickle of the tide as it rolled in and out. It was chilly but beautiful. The sounds of dub techno fit perfectly as the rising sun began to warm our bodies and wake us to the new day. This mix recaptures that moment, takes us back in time to that morning on the beach listening to some melodic dub techno." Michael Sieler, 2019 https://soundcloud.com/mspnw

Avenue Red Podcast #125 - Alessandro Crimi

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red legend Alessandro Crimi is back to show us his new ways and visions in deep swinging techy house and breaks. We think he has conjured one of his hottest selections to date here. Is this Crimi 2.0? "Finally I was able to record my first mix in 2019. I put together all kinds of music that I currently like and listen to. My intention was to record a mix that is not restricted to 1 genre, but still everything gels together well. Pretty sure this accomplishes that, with some nice Spring time vibes." Alessandro Crimi, March 2019 https://soundcloud.com/alessandro_crimi https://soundcloud.com/waehlscheibe See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/avenue-red-is-5-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-083-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-069-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-032-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-027-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-006-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/radio-show-007

Avenue Red Podcast #124 - Potswana

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Mon, 04 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Potswana is London-based record collector/DJ Sam Potter, whose new mix was sent to AR-HQ on strong recommendation of the ever-trustworthy Mancunian, Rikki Humphrey (@slickyrik). Oddly, Sam and Avenue Red founder Alec Pritchard found through their discussions that both hail from and grew up in the City of Gloucester... that's a first! For Avenue Red Podcast episode 124 Sam has laid down a raw and real mix of 90's house & garage records full of classics along with some more obscure, unknown and forgotten selections. "It's simply a collection of records I've been building for a while and have been waiting for an opportunity to set up camp one evening and record what's there. It was made at home on a Friday night after work, two 1210's, an Allen & Heath mixer, a few beers and a 4 month old kitten who was trying to mix the records for me! I wanted to create a late night club vibe that'll get the party started. I never like to plan mixes, so as always this began with one record on the needle and what followed is a spontaneous collection of some of my favourite cuts. It's a mix of 90's deep house, rare 00's tech-house, some late-night rollers and a couple of garage-y thumpers all aimed at keeping the energy flowing." Sam Potter, March 2019 https://soundcloud.com/potswana

Avenue Red Podcast #123 - Farbian

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Mon, 25 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0000

For the 123rd Avenue Red Podcast we welcome Farbian from Stuck Collective, Berlin. Also including fellow Avenue Red guest Torsten Brinkman, Stuck Collective is formed of three German lads who started to play music together 5 years ago. After finding themselves having some chemistry as a trio, they made their moves to put on some awesome parties and have their own podcast series with a unique interpretation of proper underground House and Techno music. Avenue Red founder Alec Pritchard recently contributed to their series too. Here Farbian has concocted, iced, shaken and poured out a perfect cocktail of intoxicating tech house, deep garagey house and some herbal lo-fi ingredients, making for a great soundtrack for the emergence of the warmer spring weather. "I live in Berlin and can be caught sporadically around serveral underground parties in the city. My mix contains a lot of varied stuff coming from artists who are very important and influential for me, including obvious kings like Kerri Chandler, but also stuff from some of my favourite labels of all time like KANN from Leipzig, or the excellent London-based label Lobster Theremin. The records from labels like Chikyu-u Records and Neo Violence e.g. are also very typical selections for me, because I love to dig quite unknown Soundcloud and Bandcamp artists and labels with dubby and housey touches, which need to get more attention in my opinion. I'm here to help with that :)" Farbian, February 2019 https://soundcloud.com/farb https://soundcloud.com/collective-stuck

Avenue Red Podcast #122 - Verdant Recordings

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 30 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Andy Green AKA Verdant Recordings is back with his 6th contribution for Avenue Red, delivering a perfect pastel-coloured selection of soothing, introspective, spacey dub techno vibes. We are pleased to see his Verdant Recordings label is building up a head of steam, as just before the turn of the new year we saw the arrival of its 6th release, a 2 x 12" compilation LP simple titled Verdant (link below). It features some of the true gods of the deeper side of techno, including Bluetrain AKA Steve O'Sullivan, Leonid, Gauss and XDB among others. "Some deep dub techno your mum and dad might enjoy." Andy Green, January 2019 https://soundcloud.com/verdant-recordings https://www.discogs.com/label/1059421-Verdant-Recordings VR-006: Verdant https://www.discogs.com/Various-Verdant/master/1473483 See Also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-098-verdant-recordings https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-078-verdant-recordings https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-062-verdant-recordings https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-041-verdant-recordings https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/1210-mk4-verdant-recordings

Avenue Red Podcast #121 - Mist

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 12 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Our deepness correspondent over in Athens, Greece known as Mist returns for his third Avenue Red contribution with a mind-blowing, soul-melting ambient selection of Jupiter-sized proportions. Don't expect to ever get over it if you choose to open this pandoras box, which to truly do so, start-to-finish listening is required. If you do take the full voyage, this mix will make you feel like you have visited dozens of fascinating, advanced civilisations in the deepest regions of the universe in some kind of (opaquely) rationally ordered sequence, then been returned home... safely enlightened. https://soundcloud.com/dj-mist See Also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-087-mist https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-055-mist

Avenue Red Podcast #120 - OHM

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 04 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0000

For the third and final instalment of our winter train of Icelandic artists, we welcome OHM back for his second contribution to the Avenue Red Podcast series. OHM has worked with some of the finest deep techno artists and DJ'ed at various notable beacons of the underground deep techno scene, including the Culture Box nightclub in Copenhagen, where he holds a residency. Naturally, we are proud to have yet another mix to deliver from this total legend! "Its getting darker and colder outside... even more reason to play some records for Avenue Red. I just unboxed some records I purchased and some others I was kindly sent over from my friends in music. These tracks give a looking glass into the music I'm listening to these days and showcase some of the artists that inspire me a great deal. Deep, dubby and smooth are the words to describe this session, something that people can dive into and get totally lost in!"

Avenue Red Podcast #119 - Octal Industries

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 19 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Next up for our winter season of artists from the Icelandic deep techno hive, we welcome Jonas Thor Gudmundsson AKA Ruxpin AKA Octal Industries. This amazing 1 hour of deep, dubby, industrial machine techno sounds is released under his Octal Industries moniker... why? Because it is a live improvised electronics performance of mostly unreleased Octal Industries materials. Now living in Tallin, Estonia, this guy is an absolute legend in our view, having released many strings of mind-bending releases since the late 90's on some magical labels (including Thule Records) and leaving a frothing wake of highly sought after deep/dub techno releases. Since the early days of his career he has collaborated with some of the most talented artists from Iceland including Yagya, Árni Valur Kristinsson and OHM, and also with some from further afield including Rod Modell and Michael Sickinger from the USA. Despite this rich artistic legacy, it is clear from his words below and this live mix before you now, that his musical story is still unravelling with lots more exciting chapters soon to come. "On the 28th of November 2018 I sat down and did a little studio mix - compiled with loops and samples from mostly unreleased tracks from my vault. Some of the songs are my creation and others are collaboration work with my good friend OHM. I don't think the plan is to somehow showcase a current live set, but rather to showcase what listeners might expect with the releases upcoming in 2019. I'm trying to find some middle-ground between dancefloor and home listening. Not sure if that works, but we'll see. There are some interesting releases in the pipeline, mostly done in collaboration with OHM. There will be 12" releases on the legendary Rawax, Luck Of Access (a new label run by Andrey Pushkarev), and also a digital release on Gartenhaus. I have an ambient techno-style LP ready in my archives, which I'll throw out myself digitally (or by other means) when I find a proper gap in the release schedule. I'll also have a track featured on a compilation from Unknown Tribe. Anyway, lots of good things on the horizon and I'm sure that 2019 will be as fruitful as the previous years have been for me."

Avenue Red Podcast #118 - COLD

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0000

As we get deep into the winter, we have decided to take inspiration from those who know how to zone out and party hard in the icy cold conditions better than anyone else... here for the first of 3 Icelandic artists on 3 consecutive episodes on Avenue Red throughout December, we welcome Ísar Logi Arnarsson AKA COLD from Reykjavík. Forever a legend on Icelandic techno powerhouse Thule Records, with his Hyper Experience EP (THL001) opening the account back in 1995, Ísar quickly gained the attention of many including Sven Väth, who played the record shortly after it was released to close out his set at the Berlin Love Parade. However, things then went cold (!) on the production front, with him reawakening again in 2017 full of ideas and inspiration, leading to a 6-track release on the experimental new Thule sister label AE Recordings, soon followed by his Dub Safari EP on Thule earlier this year. Here COLD has delivered an impeccably dark, groovy set full of rigid, sharp, bare-bones beats with some tribal overlays, all mingled with those trademark deep, breezy dub-laden Icelandic techno vibes we are all big fans of over in this corner. "The underground music scene in Iceland is pretty active considering the size and number of people, primarily in Reykjavik of course. We have a few venues that make it their goal to accommodate both live performances and DJ's, mostly locals with the occasional international visitor to spice things up. I don't need to go far to get inspiration from the dance floor. My fellow Icelandic producers have been my biggest motivators and inspiration... I can't thank them enough! About this mix: I started by collecting all the music/artists that I found to be inspiring me at the moment and found a way to coalesce it into a tight but blissful, thumping club mix. I picked out a handful of my all-time favourites and some fresh Icelandic ones. Then I ground the songs down to their elements and started the merry-go-round, but as the mix progresses I give the songs more space to breathe and evolve. This is the kind of music that would have me dancing for hours with my eyes closed, with images of larger than life scenery in my mind." Ísar Logi Arnarsson, December 2018 https://soundcloud.com/isar-logi https://www.facebook.com/COLDfromICELAND https://www.discogs.com/artist/12959-Cold

Avenue Red Podcast #117 - Sam Funke

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 07 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Amid this very busy winter schedule of releases, Avenue Red continues with a fresh upfront mix of slamming oldskool Tech House flavours. Many thanks to Sam Funke from Paris, France for this killer mix to show the kids what real, genuine Tech House was all about back in it's golden era of 90's to early 00's, where the sub-genre name was used to describe this unique fusion of Techno & House music stylings. Ignore all subsequent widespread abuses of this genre term though, none of which matter anyhow because those of us in the know cannot be fooled! "I am a cosmic vinyl addict from Paris bringing the vibe and the groove on the dancefloor of underground warehouse parties. I am a Techno, Electro and Breakbeat head at the service of galaxy. Here I give a mix of old stuff from my record collection, mainly Tech House from UK 1990's with stuff from Terry Francis, Nathan Coles, Craig Richards, Eddie Richards etc. Have fun!" Sam Funke, December 2018 https://soundcloud.com/sam-funke

Avenue Red Podcast #116 - Maksim Panfilov

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 28 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000

As the icy winter begins to set in here in the northern hemisphere, we have taken some inspiration from a Russian photographer, music collector and excellent DJ, Maksim Panfilov. He originally was born and raised in the coldest, most remote city on the planet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norilsk Norilsk in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Siberia, Russia. Isolated, detached, lonely, heavily industrial and severely polluted. A fascinating, yet strange place within the arctic circle that Maksim moved away from, initially to Saint-Petersburg and then to Moscow, where he currently resides. It is clear that the visual element is important for Maksim in conjunction with his musical output. See this incredible mix performance titled "Swimmers" he did live on his YouTube channel along with some interesting visuals, his own imagery, faded in-and-out throughout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgSmUwBkwPw - there are other examples of this on his channel too. Here he has provided us with a very interesting, giddy, floaty mixture of slow burning house and deep, disco-edged 4/4 melodica that has some truly edge-of-the-world vibes within. All mixed seamlessly and creatively too. You can hear and feel the passion from the man, and you can almost discern the feeling of coldness and isolation that helped to inspire him in developing his far-out and other worldly musical tastes. "Greetings from Moscow. This mix is a trippy, soft and groovy selection. It contains some timeless classics, tracks from my Russian friends and other nice musical gems... I guess that it's perfect for a short flight over the celestial ocean. Have a nice trip!" Maksim Panfilov, November 2018 https://soundcloud.com/panfilov https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrsKJBovstT2iyPZTtleApg https://www.facebook.com/maksimpanfilov ===== Tracklist coming soon. NOTE: The source image was taken by Maksim himself.

Avenue Red Podcast #115 - ARiS

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 13:19:11 +0000

For Avenue Red Podcast 115 we welcome ARiS, who is originally from the coastal city of Patras in Greece. Having been a DJ since the late 90's, where he played at small underground parties around his hometown, ARiS continued his pursuit of collecting music and DJ'ing after he relocated to Camerino in central Italy in the mid-2000's. Aris established himself with residencies at clubs like Oniremac, Plush, Club Gallery, Caffe Concerto and 300 Monkeys. You could have caught him over the past 15 years at various clubs across Italy and the Greek Islands, but lately he's been focussed on providing the groove for private after-parties in central Italy with PlayON. Here ARiS delivers an hour of groove-centric, hypnotic techy house music with a Romanian twist. Expect tight selections, solid programming and mixing that is smooth as silk. "A blend of fine deep minimal sounds gives a groovy mix, takes you on a journey deep in your soul. Music has no borders!" Aris Kousidis, November 2018 @aris81 https://www.facebook.com/aris81.music

Avenue Red Podcast #114 - Trepid

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 08 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Just as he provided us with a mix for the change of season into the spring, Tommy Lemmers AKA Trepid AKA dubtommy returns to the Avenue Red Podcast with some serious, dubbed out, cold steel house & techno vibes for the darker wintry days. "In contrast to my last mix, we're going into the winter period. It's getting cold and the days are getting shorter, which makes more time to explore the night time. Feel free to join this journey into the complex realms of deep music!" Tommy Lemmers, November 2018 https://soundcloud.com/dubtommy1 See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-108-trepid NOTE: The source image was taken by Tommy himself. It was taken recently from his parents' house by The IJsselmeer, a closed off inland bay in the central Netherlands.

Avenue Red Podcast #113 - O'laru (Heerd)

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 03 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Our man over in Bucharest, Romania - George O'laru - one half of the artist known as Heerd with Stroe Ionut, delivers a stunning and very unique mix of trip-hop, lounge and experimental material. A perfect accompaniment for those late "afterhours" sessions or a morning coffee... or a coffee shop vibe. "As I listened to a lot of trip-hop, ambient and various downtempo music in the last year I decided to record something different than I usually do. I hope you will enjoy the journey and who knows, maybe in the next episode I will come with a mix recorded with tracks exclusively produced by Heerd? ;)" George Olaru, November 2018 https://soundcloud.com/olarugeorge https://soundcloud.com/heerd See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-107-olaru https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-076-olaru NOTE: The source image was provided by George, it was taken during his childhood from his hometown of Constanta, Romania. Avenue Red have edited it into what you see now, with the boat detail projected into the sky. It is intended to be a reflection of how memory is preserved and accessed in the human mind.

Avenue Red Is 5... Janne Rasi

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 09 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000

To complete this little compendium of mixes to celebrate 5 years of Avenue Red, we welcome our master of deep house & techno over in Helsinki, Finland - Janne Rasi. His 2 previous mixes in the series are truly mind-bending, introspective, glowing, radioactive deep house mixes that are both expertly programmed, sequenced and mixed. Excellently addictive, classy mixes. For his 3rd contribution Janne puts on his techno hat, digging deep into the tougher, more energetic areas of his crazy record collection. Enjoy this magical session at high volume to bring our half decade milestone mini-series to a close. Business as usual after this one, as we continue with episode #113. Stay tuned! "I first came across Avenue Red almost four years ago. Alec had heard a mix of mine and asked if I'd like to contribute to the series. I started listening to the podcasts and it didn’t take long to hear the quality of the mixes. However, it took two years before I eventually posted the first mix, which I thought would be a one-off. But here we are, it's time for my 3rd mix in the series. Trying not to repeat myself, I wanted to make a techno-oriented mix this time, which I hadn’t done in a very long time. It’s been a great journey for the past years, both as a DJ and as a listener. Happy birthday Avenue Red and thumbs up to Alec for keeping the series running and setting the quality standards high!"

Avenue Red Is 5... Alessandro Crimi

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 18 Sep 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Another 5 Years of Avenue Red mix... another Avenue Red legend! For this instalment we present an extended 3-hour live session from Swiss deep boss Alessandro Crimi. All fans of Avenue Red will know Alessandro well, as he has touched our souls with his expertly crafted mixes loaded with unforgettable vibes and deepness. The Waehlscheibe label boss was going to do a special studio mix for this one, however a smoked-out live gig in his hometown of St. Gallen last weekend was recorded and after a listen through, we decided that it fitted the bill nicely. Here master Crimi delivers a crazy eclectic mix of deep, tripped out lounge lizard tracks, which oozes into some of the most delicious deep house and electro ever produced, then finished with a smattering of liquid drum & bass tracks. "I didn't expect this mix to be used for a proper podcast... I only recorded it so that I had something fresh to listen to, like a playlist of some of my favourites in my collection. I wasn't even spending all the time behind the booth as I knew the length of the tracks, so I occasionally went outside for smoke, then came in just to play the next one... that's why some of the time I didn't mix at all. This session is all about just letting the music play. I had some good music with me, and also some good stuff to smoke 😉" Alessandro Crimi, September 2018 https://soundcloud.com/alessandro_crimi https://soundcloud.com/waehlscheibe See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-083-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-069-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-032-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-027-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-006-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/radio-show-007

Avenue Red Is 5... Josh Lentink

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 16 Aug 2018 00:00:00 +0000

For the third instalment of the Avenue Red 5th birthday celebration mini-series, we welcome the London-based zen master (you should see his rug!) Josh Lentink for his 5th contribution to the series. Josh is a raw young talent who fuses house, techno, razor-edged electro, deep, dubby, chilled, banging and also mild stuff, like the concept of a "tomorrow" has not even been spawned into any conscious entity in the universe. Josh is yet another regular Avenue Red contributor who became a harder target to get a mix from since being taken into the clutches of the excellent Timeline Music, with his excellent monthly Building Blocks show. More here: http://www.timeline-music.co.uk/josh-lentink - we are very pleased our insistence that he pulled a 5th birthday cracker with us has borne fruit. The fruit is tasty. Try it. "I did my first mix for Avenue Red over 3 years ago, which was around the time I first started buying vinyl. It's been a great place for me to share music and more importantly to listen to other great DJ's over the past 5 years. Last year I started a monthly show for Timeline Music and have since been pretty slack with recording any other mixes, this one was way overdue! My 5 year anniversary contribution basically just includes some recent records I've bought, some slightly more minimal sounds and a handful of oldies. Thanks to Alec for continuing Avenue Red for all this time, it's still my go-to mix series! X" Josh Lentink, August 2018 https://soundcloud.com/joshlentink See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-074-josh-lentink https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-066-josh-lentink https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-057-josh-lentink https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-044-josh-lentink

Avenue Red Is 5... Rubsilent

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Mon, 09 Jul 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red was started in July 2013 with the intention of creating a good, steady platform for passionate music collectors, DJ's, artists and label owners who we found to have something special on their music pages, yet were flying far below the radar of mainstream press and hype. We are here to showcase the good, friendly people who we find not to be trying to play some stealthy game of music scene politics with hidden agendas, gimmicks, sideshow fads or any other holographic projections of inflated egos. Instead, we aim to showcase those content with their low underground profile - tasteful diggers and purveyors dedicated to filtering wheat from chaff to distill the sweetest, most enjoyable and educational mixtapes. In these 5 years to date Avenue Red has featured a diverse range of 86 talented DJ's/artists from around the world, from Russia to the USA and from Peru to the UK. Thanks to all of you for contributing such great works over these years! To celebrate this milestone we will be releasing 5 separate mixtapes in a mini-series over the coming weeks, which will draw focus on our most frequent and outstanding contributors so far. To get this party started we welcome the magical master technician from Istanbul... step up Rubsilent!! "My path crossed with Alec's and his Avenue Red podcast series 3 years ago after exchanging messages via Soundcloud over the Relief Records tribute mix that I recorded in early 00's and shared online after recovering the recording from a MiniDisc. Rest is history... When it comes to electronic music I believe in no barriers between the genres, which comes from my being hooked on this approach in the 90's with the likes of Laurent Garnier and Derrick May as role models. I have recorded five mixes over the years for Avenue Red and this is my 6th contribution. Some may lean towards a certain genre but in order to entertain myself first I tried telling different stories on each session by travelling thorough different moods and styles. This 5th year anniversary contribution is reflecting a more positive, house-y side of me here. Lots of USA house from places like Chicago, Detroit as well as European sounds from past and present... I was recently reunited with a box of 50 of my records after 11 years apart (all from my time living in Chicago), so naturally I was keen to drop some of those records in this session. I'm humbled to be asked to return back to Avenue Red with this special 5th year anniversary selection. Many thanks to Alec for his hard work and to all the listeners throughout the years. Happy Birthday Avenue Red! Many happy returns."

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 15 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0000

For Avenue Red Podcast 112 we present a super satisfying mix of deep house and techno from artist & DJ Dejax Dex, who hails from the city of Bitola in Macedonia. "One hour of music that I like right now. Deep and moving sounds that are good for home listening and also for playing out loud." Dejax Dex, June 2018

Avenue Red Podcast #111 - S&ro

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 07 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0000

We are pleased to present the second Avenue Red Podcast mix from S&ro (real name Sandro Isler), who is co-owner of the Waehlscheibe label alongside Alessandro Crimi over in Saint Gallen, Switzerland. Here S&ro gets heads down into a focussed, tightly worked hour-long set with some powerful sound designs for the dancefloor. Enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/sandroisler https://soundcloud.com/waehlscheibe https://waehlscheibe.bandcamp.com/merch https://www.discogs.com/label/389486-Waehlscheibe See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-086-sandro

Avenue Red Podcast #110 - Antja

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 19 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red 110 is a slick session of grooving, minimal, deep house, techno & spaced-out breaks from Italian-born Tanja Valente, better known as Antja. Based in Zurich, Switzerland, Antja is a regular fixture at the main underground clubs in the city such as Hive Club, Friedas Büxe, Supermarket and Revier. She has also been spinning further afield within Switzerland and abroad too, including in Berlin and Munich, as people are continuing to notice her rawly visceral, pulsating dancefloor-aimed selections and impeccable technical skills! Check her other mixes out too, including the one on the @waehlscheibe podcast where we first noticed her. Top stuff - go Antja!! "Groove is created in a space between the notes. He's a fine line of silence." Tanja Valente, April 2018 https://soundcloud.com/antjav

Avenue Red Podcast #109 - OHM

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 10 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000

For the 109th Avenue Red Podcast we welcome Bjarnar Jónsson AKA OHM from Copenhagen in Denmark. Originally from Reykjavik, Iceland, Bjarnar is a musical peer of Exos, the man behind one of our most legendary episodes, 016 (https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-016-exos). The OHM discography stretches back to year 2000 with his debut release being on Force Inc. Music Works, the Sameining EP produced alongside Exos. He then appeared on Thule sister-label Tissju with 2 EP's both released in 2001, again both joint releases with Exos. Then, 15 years later he sprang back up with the mind-blowing Sedna EP on Thule alongside Octal Industries, one which we have played to death. Since then he has been behind 4 more records too, with the latest one having just been released on Taped Artifact, again as Ohm & Octal Industries. The quality and style of his productions match nicely with his DJ'ing. We asked for him to dig into his record collection for this one. The resulting mix is a seriously deep, dubby onslaught of trippy, glacial, illuminous house & techno vibes. Ideal for our headphone purposes here at Avenue Red. "I have been a fan of this podcast series for a long time. It has helped me to get connected with loads of underground music people who have a similar frame of mind, so I am super happy to be asked to make this one for Avenue Red. It is rare that I play out from my vinyl collection, so this was the best piece of homework I had for a while. Hope you enjoy the trip!" Bjarnar Jónsson, April 2018 https://soundcloud.com/ohm-599575574 https://www.discogs.com/artist/3123150-Ohm-16

Avenue Red Podcast #108 - Trepid

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 21 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

To accompany the refreshing spring weather we present a dreamy, trippy, colourful mixture of deep house music from Tommy Lemmers AKA Trepid. Hailing from Amsterdam, Trepid is also an upcoming producer who has several releases out on some good labels already, with his sounds ranging from the kind of material you'll hear in this mix to some dub-influenced house and abstract hip-hop. Here Trepid has dished us a mix that would be perfectly fitting as a soundtrack for wandering around the breezy city streets; through some bright floral aromatic gardens... or even for chilling out in a certain kind of coffee shop near his home ;) "Starting off mellow and easy this spring. Imagine going to the park, having a couple of cold drinks with the sun on your face, dreaming as the music takes you to another place." Tommy Lemmers, March 2018 https://soundcloud.com/dubtommy1

Avenue Red Podcast #107 - O'laru (Heerd)

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 08 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

We are pleased to welcome the return of the excellent George O'laru on the Avenue Red Podcast, this time with an infectious, deep, melodic, grooving set full of grade-A house & techno blinders that mostly lean towards the obscure end of the spectrum. From Constana, Romania, George has recently been working intensively during his free time on developing his music production skills. This set showcases 4 of his new, exclusive and unreleased works. He has managed to craft an incredible-sounding, fluent set of music here whereby his own works mesh in seamlessly. We must have listened to this mix over a dozen times already. It's truly an ace listen! Avenue Red implore you to tell your friends and help to share it around. We all need help, sometimes. This one deserves as many ears as possible! "This time I tried to record something different to my first appearance on Avenue Red. I'd say it's a groovier and more experimental vibe where I have used a couple of unreleased tracks that I produced myself. I started producing music as Heerd alongside a friend of mine, Stroe Ionut, about 18 months ago from the desire and passion to create a different sound in Romania. The name originates from the district where another friend Adrian Bocîrnea, who is very supportive of our project, lives at present: Heerdter in Dusseldorf, Germany... we think it is original and the abbreviation of the name sounds cool. I hope you will enjoy this one even more than the first episode!"

Avenue Red Podcast #106 - Eczema

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 04 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

For Avenue Red Podcast 106 we welcome dub house/techno wizard Nikolai Kosik AKA Eczema from the city of Lutsk, North-West Ukraine. A DJ, producer and also a keen competitive cyclist, Nikolai has delivered us a smooth, seamlessly mixed hour of dubbed-out, trippy 4/4 house & techno that feels sparse and lost... like seeing ships in the distance in the inky dusk across the breezy ocean air... or leaning out the window of a train passing through strange, icy, barren landscapes. You'll get the idea. "Always keep moving forward!!!" Nikolai Kosik, March 2018 https://soundcloud.com/eczemamusic ===== 01 The Analog Roland Orchestra - Floor Dreamers // Step (2017) 02 Ikpathua - Unseen (feat.

Avenue Red Podcast #105 - Mihail P

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 15 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red hereby welcomes the second coming of Mihail P from Vinica in Macedonia. A rising star in the underground electronic music scene, Mihail's productions are really getting noticed a lot since he did Avenue Red Podcast 075 some 16 months ago, with some top releases in the pipeline to be released throughout this year. The payload of vinyl releases involves two good friends of Avenue Red, with one coming on Paul Rimbaud's Distant Worlds label and also one on Andy Green's Verdant Recordings imprint. Keep a look out for those! This mix is yet another satisfying selection of futuristic electro and techno that shows Mihail's supreme taste, his discerning ear for a smooth transition and finding winning combinations to create a prime tapestry of deep, grooving electronic sounds, which are also notably close to home with his own production style. We want more from you in the future Mihail, do keep us in mind! :) "The view you see in the artwork picture is something that inspires me daily, whether I am producing, mixing or listening to music. And while playing/recording this very mix i had this view staring at me all the time. This mix is about the atmosphere that surrounds us: the environment and our daily routines; the spirit of every town that feels like an intricate machinery where every resident has an important part to play; how we're all connected in some way whether we are aware or not... I want you to feel this mix as moving through the crowd of people, picking up every signal they send and convert it into a sound wave of celestial beats and glacial atmospheres." Mihail Petrovski, February 2018 https://soundcloud.com/mihailpetrovski https://www.discogs.com/artist/5232588-Mihail-P See Also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-075-mihail-p

Avenue Red Podcast #104 - Paul Rimbaud

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 06 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000

The 104th Avenue Red Podcast comes from Paul Rimbaud, a true deep house/techno/electro collector and DJ from Blackheath, South London. In the summer of last year, Paul was busily setting up his own Distant Worlds label, launching with the "Renegade EP" coming from that ever-increasingly prolific analog synth warrior from Sheffield, John Shima. We are told the label will be sure to feature more works from friends of Avenue Red in the coming months so keep a look out! Here Mr. Rimbaud lays down a stellar, driving mix of magical, shiny techno & electro sounds that give us a looking glass into his unique, intricate vision for this promising-looking young label. "I started buying records in 1992 and haven't stopped since. I schooled myself in the hardcore/jungle techno scene and discovered the techno scene through that, searching out the originals of the tunes that were being sampled by the likes of LTJ Bukem and DJ Crystl. The thread that held these genres together for me were the soundscapes. The emotion/dread/foreboding/elation that can be transmitted through pads and synths, through these little machines becomes transcendent. Often based around basic melodies, aligned with simple chord progressions, the whole becomes greater than the sum of it's parts. For this mix I wanted to concentrate specifically on the sounds of the synths, the pads and atmospherics; the way they would layer and interact with each other as opposed to any kind of rhythmic theme. As such, there are tracks from both sides of the millennium featured, many personal favourites amongst them. I really hope you enjoy listening. Recorded with an audience of one (the cat) in Blackheath, South London on a Thursday afternoon in October." Paul Rimbaud , January 2018 https://soundcloud.com/distantworldtransmissions https://www.discogs.com/label/1208103-Distant-Worlds

Avenue Red Podcast #103 - Gusev

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 18 Jan 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red resident Russian-German selector Gusev is back with a mix of his own personal classics collection. Lots of great tracks that will take the true underground House & Techno heads back to the good times! We have had this mix since 5 months ago and we are very pleased to finally get it out there - there are many great mixes to follow in quick succession from some old Avenue Red favourite DJ's and some newcomers to the series too, so keep a look out in the coming weeks for more underground goodies ;) "Hello friends, this mix I recorded about half a year ago. Of course one take, vinyl only as always with me. I'm not just a vinyl collector but I'm also mixtape collector and in the mix I've selected many tracks that I've heard in other very good mixes. The mixes and DJ's had a big impact on me, and many of the tracks I played in the mix are legendary for me. I hope you will like the mix. Enjoy!"

Avenue Red Podcast #102 - Max Hummel

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 14 Jan 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Max Hummel from Wiesbaden, Germany returns for his second contribution to the Avenue Red Podcast with a deep energetic mix, which features some of his own recent productions. This is his first proper techno mix since his amazing podcast for @stephenos1 / Mosaic Records just over a year ago - see here: https://soundcloud.com/stephenos1/mosaic-mix-series-014_max-hummel "This mix is full with my personal favourite tracks from the past and the present in Techno music! This session reflects my new project which is based on a new futurist journey with classical features. The last track gives a short glimpse about the musical characteristics of this project and what will be coming soon. I'm very happy to be a part of the Avenue Red Podcast series again. Looking forward to hearing more wonderful mixes from this great series which will hopefully follow! Thank you so much Alec for the support of myself alongside all the great underrated/unknown DJ's, producers and music-lovers out there!" Max Hummel, January 2018 https://soundcloud.com/xahm

Avenue Red Podcast #101 - Becks

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 31 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000

For the 101st Avenue Red Podcast we present some fresh talent, a mysterious lady known as Becks who is originally from St. Louis, USA but has lived most of her life in Frankfurt, Germany, where her parents originated. Here Becks lays down an atmospheric mixture of electronic music that is very evocative, with smoked-out film noir vibes, a hint of Alice In Wonderland and stark, cold glacial landscapes coming through her selections. "I'll try to express what drove me to record/select this mix. There is at first my basic perception of music as a pretty unique language, a way of dreaming whilst being awake. To me, recording a mix is about telling a story, yet without the limitations imposed by vocabulary. So I'm trying to invite the listener to follow me, take part in my imagination or follow one's own while merging with the music's emotional landscape. It can oscillate from seriousness to playfulness to yearning to hardness. The picture I chose for the mix somehow reflects its predominant ambience: a heavy sky with a few rays of sunlight shining through, as an image of longing or hoping, yet not fully clear (thanks to the old, worn photographic film). But still, I find it quite hard to put that into my own words. To me, music is really important, having the potential of creating an emotional room - but I don't count myself as important in it. I might create parts of it while selecting and mixing, but whoever listens enters the space and shares it." Becks, December 2017 https://soundcloud.com/re-sch

Avenue Red Podcast #100 - Hysteric (Mothball Record)

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 01 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000

This series has been so much fun to bring to this point, the centenary episode! It has featured some well-known guests but that was never the point. It remains focused on the lesser-knowns, showing that on an avenue near you there are many ace DJ's and artists who can "see red" (meaning they can hear and recognise *quality* music), just like you can. You don't need to consult a glossy music magazine or hit up a trending music publication to find out what is worth listening to. If you are truly into underground music, you only need to dig for yourself and feed off the underground DJ's/labels/people around you who have got that mad passion, taste and burning desire to curate boss mixtapes and releases. ENTER GEORGE HYSTERIC! The Melbourne(-and-bred) DJ, music collector and Mothball Record label boss has blown many people away (including us and our mates) with his crazily coherent selections of Italo, disco, synthpop, synthwave, new wave and other interesting oddball variants of music (largely from 20+ years ago). He has got a seriously strong mixing style tailored for segueing old, loosely-timed eclectic music - a technical artform in itself that is very tough to master! George is also an excellent producer, who has officially released only a fraction of his edit works and also has some top materials of his own released on labels like Banoffee Pies, Bordello A Parigi, Public Possession and Edits Du Plaisir among others including his own label. This exclusive mix is expertly crafted. Be excited. PS. This is available to download in lossless full-res .aiff format - we thought we'd do this because it is the 100th episode. We thank George, the other contributors and of course YOU for bothering to listen. "This mix was something of a challenge because I hadn’t recorded a ‘pure’ Italo-disco mix in quite some years and had even moved away from it a bit, as although I love and always will love the genre, I had struggled to find fresh Italo tracks that appealed to me personally. This gave me the time to explore and DJ in other genres that maybe I hadn’t given enough time to before. It’s possible to also see this perhaps in the development and progression of Mothball Record moving away from a strictly Italo-disco label, with some synthwave releases and even one of 90s rave covers during 2017. The heart of Mothball will always be in Italo however, and there are some nice releases planned for 2018. Over the past few months I invested some time digging through Italian label catalogs on discogs looking for (mostly cheap) Italo records I didn’t previously know... and found quite a few nice surprises. As a result I think I was able to make a pure Italo-disco mix almost entirely free of “the hits”. I didn't have so much time to edit or produce much lately because I was busy with DJ work and stuff for the label, mostly graphic design and audio restoration. However, I will have a few things out early 2018 - an EP on Bahnsteig 23 and a 7" on a new label, which will feature more downtempo and sample-based stuff. Keep a look out for new the releases and thank you for listening!"

Avenue Red Podcast #099 - Janne Rasi

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 00:00:00 +0000

We are very pleased to welcome the return of Deep House maestro Janne Rasi from Helsinki, Finland! Janne has got a mad record collection with lots of deep, druggy, moody, hypnotic, melodic House & Techno... and loads of other obscure stuff that we couldn't even think of labelling! He showcases that diversity and breadth of musical influence very well in this set. He has a crazy ability to set very lucid, dreamy, fantasy-like scenes with his musical selections and flow. As this silky smooth set of tracks shows, his mixing is also truly impeccable. Transcendental audio for the heads with a high-octane brain and deep imagination. "This mix started taking shape in my head in the summer when I got some hot new wax in my hands. Some tracks were just so good I had to start thinking how to use them in a mix. The result is a combination of recent discoveries and long time favourites. In the end, I’m quite satisfied with the flow and progression. This was mixed in one shot with three decks at my place in Helsinki, Finland, in July. I’m proud to deliver podcast #99 for Avenue Red."

Avenue Red Podcast #098 - Verdant Recordings

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 09 Sep 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Back for his third Avenue Red Podcast mix (and 4th including his contribution to the Avenue Red 1210 sister series), Verdant Recordings takes us on incredible trip away from earth, travelling through some beautiful and strange areas of outer space. This set will dazzle your mind if you let it in. Repeat listening is essential to truly absorb what is on offer here. "It's always a pleasure doing a mix for Avenue Red and I think I'm up to 4 with this set. Aspiring to keep it interesting, this one is a collection of gentler and alternative vibes for home listening. I hope it tweaks the neurones and ears as intended. Thanks again to Alec and all the contributors that make Avenue Red one of the more inspiring series for the heads."

Avenue Red Podcast #097 - Tim Boyd

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 05 Sep 2017 00:00:00 +0000

After a little bit of a pause, the Avenue Red engine is back up and running with a full tank of fuel, ready to churn out more mixes from underground heroes that you likely have not heard about before. This next instalment is a first for us... it took 97 episodes to bring an Aussie to Avenue Red tables, as we welcome Tim Boyd from Sydney, Australia! Here Tim basks in the sunny Sydney weather and takes inspiration from his surroundings to deliver a super hot mix of delicious, deep melodic house music from his very nice and varied record collection. "I got into dance music soon after I left high school. I'm 23 now. I took this year off after finishing Uni to put out some of my friends music on a label I've started called Black Wattle. I have two releases in the works with the first coming out around the end of September. Musically I'm inspired by DJs who play records with passion and take risks. This mix was just one afternoon in my living room in Sydney... I wanted it to be pretty laid back and make people happy and deliver pure sunshine through their speakers/headphones. Here it is, enjoy x" Tim Boyd, September 2017 https://soundcloud.com/timothy-boyd-9

Avenue Red Podcast #096 - Rob Moller

We are proud to welcome the 3rd coming of Newcastle, UK-based Rob Moller to the series. More deepness, smooth operator blends and train-spotter selections. He's like the modern-day Knight Rider... but a Geordie one with (only slightly) different hair and a different car. "I can't believe this is my third Avenue Red mix. Thanks Alec! I wanted to go back to the deep and dark stuff the podcast is known for and this is what I put together one morning... hopefully it hits the spot."

Avenue Red Podcast #094 - Gusev

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 10 Jun 2017 00:00:00 +0000

For his 5th contribution to Avenue Red we welcome back the Saint Petersburg-born, one-of-a-kind record digger/collector/DJ Dmitry Gusev with yet another hot blend of aces. "Hello friends! This mix was recorded about 3 years ago, but I still really like the music I put together in this particular mix... and now I want to release the mix here on Avenue Red, where I think it finally belongs. I had no particular idea for this mix. I spontaneously selected 3-4 current tracks from 2014 and the rest are tracks from different decades. But I always say: it does not matter from which decade track comes, only the quality counts. Here you will find tracks from 1990 to 2014 which all fit together very well. I use many tracks from true Chicago and Detroit legends: Derrick Carter, Dez Andres, Scott Grooves, Kai Alce, Mike Grant, Glenn Underground and many more. Many tracks are personal favourites for many years. I can say this for sure: House music will never die! I think this mix will fit very well to coming summers. This mix like all my mixes was a vinyl only session recorded in one take. Enjoy it. A little later I will post a full Playlist."

Avenue Red Podcast #093 - Lee Clarke

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 31 May 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Milton Keynes-based DJ/artist/events promoter Lee Clarke steps up to the Avenue Red Podcast with a tough, driving, deep mix of House music. Lee promotes and is resident at his own night called Tahanan, which first came on our radar around the time of Avenue Red's inception, with this beast of a line-up https://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?481883 that featured Dudley Strangeways and Michael McLardy who did our 3rd podcast episode (https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-003-dudley-strangeways-b2b-michael-mclardy) around that time alongside Tech House heavyweights Terry Francis and Eddie Richards. Lee's Tahanan imprint is also echo'ed on air at Hoxton FM from time-to-time and became a label in February this year with Sek's Drunk Yoga EP. Enjoy the mix everyone, it gets deeper and deeper as it progresses, just how we like it! :D PS. Lee has kindly provided a tracklist that we will put up after the mix get's to 300 plays. https://soundcloud.com/tahananbeats https://www.beatport.com/artist/lee-clarke/427626 https://www.beatport.com/label/tahanan/57374

Avenue Red Podcast #092 - Sebastian Markovic

Soon after the excellent 4Eggz, we welcome yet another DJ from Nuremberg in Germany to the Avenue Red series... Sebastian Markovic. Here Sebastian shows true craftsmanship and innovation in putting a set of records together with a tasteful crate digger's selection of deep, summery, tribal and electro fodder. Includes seamless tapestry/German-made quality... you just trust! ;) "Hey, I'm Sebastian, currently living and playing in Nürnberg, Germany. I've been collecting vinyl for some time now and have the great opportunity to play in venues in and around Nürnberg. Together with a friend we host podcasts and club nights as KEEP IT DEEP. A while ago I was working in the Netherlands and listening to the scene there really opened my mind musically. So I hope with this set I could bring some continuity as well as some surprising tracks to the mix. Thank you for listening!" Sebastian Markovic, May 2017

Following on from his contribution as episode 73, we welcome the return of Russian deep head Egor Kuchepatov, this time under a new moniker "Shpace". A regular contributor on one of our favourite podcast series https://soundcloud.com/hello_strange, here Egor spins a punchy deep, techy house set full of other worldly sounds.

Avenue Red Podcast #090 - Edward Bei

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 04 May 2017 00:00:00 +0000

For Avenue Red 090 we present for the first time a DJ from Portugal, Edward Bei (real name Eduardo Vaz), who comes from the town of Famalicão near Braga in the north of the country. Also a graduate student of electronic music production and a keen sonic innovator, here Edward takes us on a trip through all kinds of lo-fi/garagey/deep/dubby House & Techno tunes. The mix flows like a dream and has some distinctly summery overtones. "I think one of the pleasures in DJ'ing are the little 'storylines' that you can create between two songs, and with the right choices, extend that story through the mix. And at the same time, being open to change the story completely. I'm from Northern Portugal and I played in cities like Porto, Vila Real and Castelo Branco (where I studied musical production), but the beautiful Lisbon is still missing from my DJ's curriculum vitae. Lately I've been mainly focused on production. I started making music from techno to ambient and experimental music under the name Blue Hand. Currently I'm working on my first releases around deep house and dub techno, and I think this mix reflects much of my inspiration. My influences started at the age of 15 with artists like Louie Vega and Frankie Knuckles. Nowadays I get much inspiration from artists like Fred P, Asok, Adham Zahran, Sven Weisemann and many more. And, of course, I have to include in my list these great podcasts with such great selections. Avenue Red has been giving me so much good food to my ears over the last few years, so I'm very glad be a part of it now :)" Edward Bei, May 2017 https://soundcloud.com/edwardbei https://soundcloud.com/bluehand7 https://bluehand.bandcamp.com/

Avenue Red Podcast #089 - Simon (Backdrop)

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 26 Apr 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Stepping up for this fresh Avenue Red addition is yet another local Newcastle lad, Simon Leeks, who is co-boss of Newcastle outfit Backdrop. Simon and co have put on some monster events up here over the last couple of years, with some ace guests including Amir Alexander, Jane Fitz, Levon Vincent, Ethyl & Flori and Tama Sumo b2b Prosumer (All Night Long) among other noteworthy bookings. Simon has used this mix as an opportunity to make a sort of "megamix" out of THE underground cult techno release of 2016: Convextion's 2845 LP. He makes utility of this double 12" album as a planet of spacey futuristic sounds around which he throws into orbit some other spacey, deep and vibrant Techno/Electro inclusions. It makes for a very satisfying, trippy listen overall and a great package through which fans of 2845 can enjoy the album all over again in a fresh context. "I'd sent Alec two previous mixes, both of which were not appropriate for this podcast. Seeing as I run a fairly firm techno night, Backdrop, along with Fraser Pearston, Hester Cheuk and Joseph Clarke, I found this mix tough. However, I also found that the drive it gave me to search for tunes outside of my prime selection area/comfort zone to be really inspiring. I'd also like to say that we have a close marra, Sean Hodgson, currently laid up in hospital and this mix was done with him in mind. Thanks to Alec for putting this out, and you for listening - enjoy!"

Avenue Red Podcast #087 - Mist

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 11 Apr 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Following on from his contribution for the 55th Avenue Red Podcast we welcome the return of the DJ/Producer from Athens, Greece known as "Mist" and also as "Mist Soundscapes". This 2-hour session is a deep dive into his collection of trippy, relaxing, magical House/Techno vibes with some choice ambient inclusions. The materials featured are quite disparate but it all works together so well! This mix is testament to how a DJ can really inject life and personality into a mix with their unique selection and flow... take a deep breath and dive in! https://soundcloud.com/dj-mist See Also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-055-mist

Avenue Red Podcast #086 - S&ro

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Following shortly after yet another mega mix of deepness from Avenue Red resident Alessandro Crimi, we are proud to present a beautiful selection of deep, trippy gems from S&ro (real name Sandro Isler), who is co-owner of the Waehlscheibe label alongside Alessandro over in Switzerland. We became aware of S&ro firstly from his wicked "Drunken Hats" track on WAEHL004 (Diagonal EP) and his B2B mixes with Alessandro. This mix is full of magic-tinged deep house/techno tracks that really get stuck in your mind... and once you have let them in, you are happy for them to stay :) https://soundcloud.com/sandroisler https://soundcloud.com/waehlscheibe https://waehlscheibe.bandcamp.com/merch https://www.discogs.com/label/389486-Waehlscheibe

Avenue Red Podcast #085 - 4Eggz

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 23 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0000

For the 85th Avenue Red Podcast episode we present a previously (to us) unknown quantity, a record collector & DJ known as 4Eggz from the North Bavarian city of Nuremberg in Germany. Here he presents a proper heads-down selection of deep, dubby House & Techno - a driving, pulsating set executed with real taste and panache. "Hi! I am 4Eggz, a DJ & vinyl collector living in Nuremberg, Germany. Happy to present my mix for Avenue Red. I recorded this on a Sunday afternoon, the set roughly including warm ambient, breaks & dubs. Contains some great records by Pola, Jay Bliss, Steve O'Sullivan, Monomood, Idealist, David Hausdorf, an unknown artist on Mystic Versions label, Luke Hess, Joel Alter and Alek S. You can hear me play varied styles at local clubs and bars in my city. Resident at LIBT and Studio Eins/NBGROOVES (all based in Nuremberg). Greets... RV."

Avenue Red Podcast #084 - Nicky Mann

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red are pleased to push out some local North East talent with this deep, dubby, punchy, driving mix of house music from Ctrl resident, Nicky Mann. "This mix was put together with the sort of records I play on a typical night at Newcastle nightspot The Tanners Arms, where I am one of the residents. The pub has a very eclectic and open music policy, hosting events across the spectrum of genres including house & techno nights to dub/drum & bass, Balearic & disco nights too. As the crowd is so open-minded you can be very varied as reflected in this mix. After the dubby start I was picking up records more on impulse for how I felt at that time (which probably shows). The Tanners is actually where I first met Alec so this vibe seemed like a good place to start. I'm resident at Ctrl which is a Newcastle-based house & techno night, it's been running for years and was the creation of Damien Walker and Neil Scott. I joined them around 5 years ago and since then we have welcomed exclusive guests to Newcastle like techno heavyweight Rødhåd and also UK techno legend Mark Broom. Due to country changes and some growing up for Damien and Neil, myself and fellow Avenue Red podcaster Rob Moller are still picking up the Ctrl parties until they decide to return." Nicky Mann, March 2017 https://soundcloud.com/nicky-mann

Avenue Red Podcast #083 - Alessandro Crimi

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000

We welcome back Avenue Red resident and Waehlscheibe label boss Alessandro Crimi for his first mix of 2017 and his 5th mix for the series, coming after his much loved "timeless summer soundtrack" mix (https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-069-alessandro-crimi) from July 2016. Here he delivers a mix that he says is "housey, melancholic, mystical and deep as ever... but not so happy". Alessandro has been a busy man as ever, with the 9th release on his label - Thomas Wood's "Rooted In The Past" EP - just out and with a new EP in the pipeline, the details for which are to remain a secret for now we are told! Alessandro also has a track called "FractalClouds" coming out on Federsen's excellent Fifth Interval label (FIFTH004 - samples here: https://soundcloud.com/federsen/sets/fifth-interval-various-artists), where he features alongside Tomas Rubeck, Beat Pharmacy (i.e. Brendon Moeller) and Federsen himself. In good company there, another solid label in the making we feel.

Avenue Red Podcast #082 - Alec Pritchard

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 16 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red's very own Alec Pritchard is back with another of his trademark selections of deep, dreamy House & Techno records. Get ready for 75 minutes of straight-up ethereal, dubbed-out, melodic drifters. "Most of this selection is made from old personal favourites in my wide collection of deep, trippy, spaced-out music that I never found the right moment to play out or slot into any recorded mixes. So, here's a one-off, impulsive mix of that kind of good stuff played slow and groovy... let me know if you want any track ID's :)" Alec Pritchard, February 2017 https://soundcloud.com/alecpritchard See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-064-alec-pritchard https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-002-alec-pritchard https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/1210-mk1-alec-pritchard

Avenue Red Podcast #081 - Meneses

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 26 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000

After a winter shutdown the Avenue Red Podcast gets an increment via a fresh, punchy, stripped back Tech House session from a young DJ from Lima, Peru known as Meneses (real name Luis Meneses). At only 20 years old Meneses has already found some acclaim in his vast Pacific-coast city, most notably as a member of the Undersound Peru collective, which attracts a proper underground following of musically clued-up party people to Casa Galeria El Tábano - one of the key nightclubs in the Peruvian capital. This is the first mix we have featured from a South American DJ and were very interested to hear what it would contain when it appeared in the inbox... considering that you can hear it for yourself here, clearly we liked it! This is a smooth ride through some very direct, minimalistic and bare-boned clubby tracks that resemble cold, steel frameworks encrusted with their own characteristic embellishments. Picture each track as being like a unique electricity pylon structure (beats) decorated with it's own selection of subtle lights that shimmer and glow in a haze (synths/melodies/other elements)... hearing the set is like staring out of a fast moving train window, seeing them drift past your gaze: a consistently flowing image made of seamlessly connected entities, gently floating and modulating by with a beautifully kaleidoscopic quality. Just relax and let it wash over you. "I like to focus on pushing music from fresh artists who deliver quality, punchy, groovy tracks with spaced out deepness. The night, the darker hours, the distant city lights flickering... it's my inspirational zone where I really get into the music. I search create a unique and electric atmosphere in my sets, music that drives forwards in the club yet also sounds great in the headphones. This mix was recorded with 2 x Vestax CDX05 with 1 and an Allen & Heath XONE:92 mixer. I hope you enjoy the tunes!" Luis Meneses, January 2017 https://soundcloud.com/meneses01

Avenue Red Podcast #080 - Janne Rasi

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 22 Dec 2016 00:00:00 +0000

For the last Avenue Red Podcast of 2016 we finally have a specially crafted mix from Janne Rasi, a very tasteful collector/selector who comes from the Finnish capital city of Helsinki. We first became aware of Janne's discerning blend of soulful, deep, murky House music from hearing his "Street Party" contribution to the 2014 Discogs DJ Mix Competition, which we were very taken by and thus asked him for a mix back then. Just over 2 years later and our inbox becomes aglow with a lovely mix from out of the blue that here follows the maverick selection from Rubsilent, who won that competition back in 2014! We absolutely love this mix, such a high quality addition to our pile of digital mixtapes to close 2016 with. "I've been searching for and playing records for 15 years now. Deep House is the core of most of my sets with exceptions where they fit, especially with Techno and Disco. Different events, moods and locations are calling for different music and I like it that way. I'm occasionally playing somewhere in Helsinki or more frequently streaming online, which is a casual way to satisfy the need of spinning wax. On this mix, I was probably influenced by the Finnish winter landscape. This is a selection of atmospheric, melancholic Deep House. Obviously something for your mind, your body and your soul. It was mixed at my place with three decks at one shot without any post editing. 100% vinyl as usual." Janne Rasi, December 2016 https://soundcloud.com/jannerasi

Avenue Red Podcast #079 - Rubsilent

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 09 Dec 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Rubsilent from Istanbul, Turkey is back with his 5th contribution to the series with another marathon session of absolutely blinding tunes, new and old. "As year 2016 draws to a close I'd say it's been another great year for quality tunes coming from genres that I follow. In fact this may be the year where I have set a new personal record for total records purchased! I felt like blending new additions to my collection with some older pieces as usual and instead of travelling between completely different genres, I kept it mainly house oriented this time. The mix comprises many different moods of house from tough acid bangers to spaced out deepness. After building things up steadily in the first 90 minutes I got locked in. The inspiration and mood was flowing perfectly and I didn't feel like stopping, so I cut deeper back into my crate of selections and continued spontaneously 'till the natural conclusion was reached." Hamza Solim, December 2016.

Avenue Red Podcast #078 - Verdant Recordings

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 02 Dec 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red welcome Verdant Recordings back for his fourth contribution, which is his third for the main series (see links below). Here we have a real feast of fresh, deep, intricate techno that feels very cold, icy, stark, lonely, isolated... glacial, even? Stand out in the cold winter air and stare out over a cityscape from a good viewpoint, let dusk draw in as the distant lights begin to glitter and shimmer though your misty exhale as this mix feeds your ears via some quality headphones. Then you'll see what we mean. PS. Thanks to Anastasia Diomidova (https://soundcloud.com/perfectly-perfect) from Cheboksary, Russia for providing the very unique and fitting photograph for the artwork! See her other photography works here: https://www.instagram.com/anastasia.diomidova/ "Rich, dark and light textures, intricate drum patterns, sometimes broken...

Avenue Red Podcast #077 - Roberto Vitrani

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 18 Nov 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Returning for the second time on the Avenue Red series is Italian selector Roberto Vitrani from the south eastern coastal town of Manfredonia. A hardened veteran vinyl collector, Roberto has collected House & Techno ever since the inception of these genres. Here he takes us through a mad selection of House music that is weird, twisted, jazzy, deep, trippy, funky, smooth, groovy and even "tropical", if you will. "I am happy to propose for the second time another session done simply and strictly on vinyl, the one and only way for me to play!!! Currently I work with my young music project 'Associazione XY' trying to bring novelty in my small town. I always keep my eyes and ears open in the search of interesting vinyl anywhere I go... at flea markets, in record stores, charity shops, online... anywhere that can serve in my quest of enriching my collection of interesting music. I wish you good listening to all. I am honoured to collaborate and share with you through Avenue Red."

Avenue Red Podcast #076 - O'laru

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 11 Nov 2016 00:00:00 +0000

The Avenue Red Podcast presents Romanian selector O'laru, who hails from the large port city of Constanta on the Black Sea coast. George has a wicked collection of deep, melodic, minimal and atmospheric house records that are right in the Avenue Red groove. With an ultra smooth mixing style, he takes you on a trip here that would work just as well on the dancefloor as it would in your headphones or on your Hi-Fi. "I started to listen to and collect electronic music since I was 13-14 years old. I'm digging for music almost each day, I think it has become like a way of life for me to look each day for new stuff that fascinates me. My sound is influenced by the sound of artists like Zip, Moodymann, Raresh and Matthew Herbert. I have some rare gigs yearly around the Black Sea coast, Bucharest and Cluj Napoca. During the mix, I tried to create an atmosphere which represents me the most in terms of sound. The selection was made between some of my all time favourite tracks and some interesting ones which I found just recently. I hope you'll enjoy the journey!"

Avenue Red Podcast #075 - Mihail P

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 23 Oct 2016 00:00:00 +0000

For this new Avenue Red podcast episode we welcome DJ and producer Mihail P from the small town of Vinica in Macedonia. Mihail has been a friend of Avenue Red for a couple of years via various music-related circles and we see he has a strong passion for the deeper, more emotive shades of electronic music like we do. And most importantly of all, he demonstrates great taste and the knowledge of a true crate digger! However, until recently we had not heard much output from the mysterious moustached Macedonian. He has gathered some due recognition via his contribution to the excellent debut release on Verdant Recordings - the Emerald City EP, which we think to be a bona fide 5-* 4-tracker, with his work featuring alongside tracks from John Shima, Plant43 and Leigh Dickson of the Transition Crew. Release information here: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Emerald-City/master/1052390. We were very impressed with this mix from Mihail to follow his debut release as a producer, it's just the kind of trip we look to experience here at Avenue Red. Keep an eye out for this man, he has the required skills ;) "For me it's always about the atmosphere that a track provides and how that melts with the current environment. For this mix my initial concept was deep, thoughtful "mind" music. I wanted to capture a really distant vibe in space and time, with glowing pads from the past and the future, coalesced into a sonic vision for a nicely crafted deep mix." Mihail Petrovski, October 2016 ** 100% of the picture credit goes to Marijana Ivanova, a friend of Mihail and co-resident of Vinica, where it was taken and this mix was made ** https://soundcloud.com/mihailpetrovski

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 13 Oct 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Josh Lentink is back with his 4th Avenue Red mix, another fine journey this time with an even stronger emphasis on Electro sounds than his previous excursions on the series. He is clearly bitten and infected by it like we are also at present! "I made this mix with a space theme in mind. Initially it was going to be almost entirely electro but later I decided to build up to that sound. There's tracks from two of my favourite albums of the year, Vakula's wonderful album on Dekmantel and the seriously strong return of Convextion! Enjoy the trip!

Avenue Red Podcast #073 - Egor Kuchepatov

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 22 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000

The next Avenue Red podcast comes from Egor Kuchepatov, the second DJ on the series (after Kammerton) who hails from the Russian city of Ulyanovsk. DJ'ing since 2007, Egor's musical passions range from dub techno to deep, minimal, melodic house and techno sounds. His mixes never cling to any specific genre or musical era, as you can hear from his many diverse podcast releases on his own podcast series called DHAR:MA and on others such as the awesome Hello Strange from Russia, Caranday from Argentina and several others. Clearly a hard worker with a great collection of music to divulge and man, his transitions are expertly crafted! "This mix was recorded on a rainy, melancholic evening when the soul is required of warmth and pleasure. Feel like dancing... the walls, the whole world is in constant motion around you, millions of thoughts per second rushing through the consciousness. At this point you can only go with the flow and try to extract something new... music is the best way to capture this. I bid you pleasant listening!"

Avenue Red Podcast #072 - Bu$$

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000

From the port city of Thessaloniki in Greece, Bliq label boss Bu$$ (or "Budollars") takes to the Avenue Red podcast with his vision of deep, brooding, abstract Techno, Electro & IDM sounds. Since Bu$$ and Manos Mara co-founded the label with a release by London boys Homepark back in 2010, Bliq has established itself as a solid platform for all kinds of deep electronic music, sometimes straying into pretty warped, leftfield territory. This mix is just tantalizing and pretty freaky all round... picture a sountrack to exploring the vast surface plains of Jupiter, then travelling into the unknown depths to check it all out in some kind of autonomous immunity suit - this could probably be that soundtrack. Given, that's a pretty oddball reference point, but for music like this it's completely appropriate. Dive into this - see you on the other side. "I was asked by Avenue Red a while ago to do a podcast for the series and it seems that I finally did it (Alec apologies for the delay). It's a selection from different styles, released and unreleased music that I choose especially for this podcast in order to create the mood that I would like to present to the Avenue Red audience. I hope you have a good time while listening to this mix & appreciate for this invitation, Peace out!" Costis Budolas, September 2016 https://soundcloud.com/budolars https://soundcloud.com/bliq

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Franc "Disco" Velours from Avignon in southern France lays down nearly 100 minutes of smooth, summery, mellow Disco tunes. Franc is well known in his region as an in-demand DJ with a great box of tricks. We really like his sounds - be sure to check out his Soundcloud page if you get thirsty for more! "This podcast is a good representation of the style that I appreciate, variations of the tropical groove and funky rhythm, complete in time to finish the summer smoothly. Thanks to Avenue Red for the invitation." Franc Velours, August 2016 https://soundcloud.com/discovelours

Avenue Red Podcast #070.2 - Gusev

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 16 Aug 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Gusev closes his Avenue Red account for #070 with an old mixtape of Jungle/Drum & Bass cuts from 1995-1998... "Hello friends, this mix was recorded a couple of years ago and is created from classic jungle tracks from years 1995-1998. From my point of view it was the best era for jungle music. In Saint Petersburg, Russia where I grew up in the 90's, the jungle scene was very powerful, active and exciting. Back then, this buzz rubbed off onto me as I was listening to a lot of quality jungle music that has heavily influenced my musical tastes of today. A lot of tracks are known to me since I recorded radio broadcasts on cassettes. I'm sad that this music is currently under-estimated, overlooked and largely forgotten. From my point of view jungle music is very unique, powerful and energetic. Hopefully you will like this music as much as I do. I'm curious for your feedback."

Dmitry Gusev is back again with an old Deep House mixtape from years gone by... "Hi friends, today I want to share with you my mix that I created one winter's night some years ago. This mix was created spontaneously, using tracks from some true masters of House including Nick Holder, DJ Deep, Rob Mello, Gene Hunt, Atjazz, Move D and others. I liked how at the end all tracks fitted together to make something I was happy to listen back to myself, but until now it has remained unpublished. Hopefully this mix will be a good accompaniment for your evening with a glass of wine or afterparty at Home with Friends. Enjoy :)" Dmitry Gusev, August 2016 See Also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/1210-mk8-gusev https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-070-gusev https://soundcloud.com/gusev-1

Russian-German selector Dmitry Gusev takes us back to the basics of true House music with a stellar set of classic, melodic, vocal-driven tracks from the underground of yesteryear. "Hi, everyone! The idea of this Avenue Red mix came to me after one of the great evenings in Panorama Bar. I was thinking about what kind of music I would choose to play in this place if given the chance myself. I figured that the music should be melodic but with strong, pulsing energy. So, inspired by these thoughts I selected from my collection a set of House music from the late 80's to the middle of 90's, using a lot of classical tracks I have loved since they first appeared. Only one track in this mix was produced in 2015. This mix was recorded vinyl only. Hopefully you will like it. Enjoy!"

Avenue Red Podcast #069 - Alessandro Crimi

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 12 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Continuing with our theme of chilled summery vibes we welcome back Avenue Red resident and Waehlscheibe label boss Alessandro Crimi, as he delivers his own self-proclaimed "timeless summer soundtrack". "For me this is a personal summer soundtrack, but not just for 2016. This is a choice selection of old, timeless favourite cuts that bring back memories of hot, sunny days and really set the scene. There was only room for a 2 or 3 newer tracks on this one. In the beginning the mood is from a nice summer afternoon, later I imagine that it's getting slowly dark outside, until the sun goes up again (last 2 tracks). My next gigs in the pipeline are: 13-08-2016 :: Frieda's Büxe (Zürich, Switzerland) 27-08-2016 :: ROOFTOP (Konstanz, Germany) 01-10-2016 :: TBA (London, UK) I hope you dig the mood and feel the heat! :)" Alessandro Crimi, July 2016 https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red https://soundcloud.com/alessandro_crimi https://soundcloud.com/waehlscheibe See also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/radio-show-007 https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-006-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-027-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-032-alessandro-crimi

Avenue Red Podcast #068 - Rob Moller

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Newcastle DJ Rob Moller returns to the Avenue Red Podcast for his second mix in the series. Here he delivers a sublime summer holiday soundtrack layered with lots of obscure, melodic House & Disco tunes. "I made this mix with a summer holiday in mind... think breezy bongos, piña colada pianos and smooth sax at tropical tempos. It's not so much of a serious selection, it's more intended to be a light, fun, enjoyable mix of addictive tracks that I hope will transport your mind to sunnier climes, whether you're hitting the beach or not this summer! I advise listening with shades on ;)" Rob Moller, July 2016 https://soundcloud.com/robmoller https://www.facebook.com/Ctrlpresents

Avenue Red Podcast #067 - Kayne

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 19 Jun 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Kayne, a young collector/selector from Southampton in England shows us his unique fusion of Disco, Funk, Leftfield Jazz and Deep/Acid House... and it totally makes sense! It is beautifully adventurous and we have great admiration for the way these tracks are all so carefully knitted together, even if you might have first felt they shouldn't have all lived together in the same hour-long mixtape... like a multi-coloured patchwork quilt of records that have seemingly clashing colours and patterns but, you then notice that you feel all warm 'n' cosy wearing it... and you just don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks. "Hello to all Avenue Red listeners! The mix was recorded a couple of weeks ago from my own home on a nice sunny day. As always when playing, my main focus is to maintain the flow as well as keeping it exciting for the people listening/dancing. The mix starts quite mellow gradually progressing but exploring all the things in my library which I enjoy and, naturally, I hope you do too! ;) Upcoming gigs: Egg, London, 24th June Junk Club, Southampton, 25th June High Tide Garden Party, Southampton, 9th July Junk Club, Southampton, 9th July Kayne" https://soundcloud.com/kayne_music

Avenue Red Podcast #066 - Josh Lentink

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 09 Jun 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Josh Lentink is back with his 3rd contribution for Avenue Red, bringing yet more golden Deep Techno cuts spliced with some ace Electro inclusions. "I recorded an initial version of this mix a few weeks ago but the vibe got a bit lost towards the end. I then waited for a few records I'd ordered to arrive before finishing it off. There are plenty of new releases from the likes of The God's Planet, Leif, and E.R.P., as well as some older tracks from Speedy J, Aril Brikha and Vince Watson. Expect deep techno, house and electro. Thanks very much for listening! :)" Josh Lentink, January 2016 See Also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-044-josh-lentink .....and: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-057-josh-lentink https://soundcloud.com/joshlentink https://soundcloud.com/lentink https://soundcloud.com/reprise

Avenue Red Podcast #065 - Korotkov

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 25 May 2016 00:00:00 +0000

The mysterious record collector/selector known as "Korotkov" steps up with something deep, fresh, vibrant and bright. From the city of Lipetsk in Russia, located on the banks of the Voronezh River in the Don basin (438 kilometers southeast of Moscow), Korotkov brings us a blissful hour+ of dreamy, trippy, sweetly melodic 4/4 gems. Following on from his contributions for other well-respected podcast imprints including the Russian Dub Techno powerhouse Hello Strange; also Deep Electronics from Holland, this one is not to be missed - this applies especially to the "deep heads" out there! "Hi. It is just a mix. :) It is all about spring-summer vibes, in my mind, and that's all. I started buying vinyl early 2014 and, in the main, I am collecting dub techno and deeper shades of house/techno. The mix is a soft, deep selection from my personal collection. Enjoy for the warmer, sunnier times!" Andrey Korotkov, May 2016 https://soundcloud.com/andreykorotkov

Avenue Red Podcast #064 - Alec Pritchard

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 14 May 2016 00:00:00 +0000

The Avenue Red founder returns with mix 64, his second one on the series after doing episode 2 back in 2013... Here he presents a deep, balmy mix of summery House tunes to get us started for the warmer, sunnier part of the year! "This mix was concocted during a small house party whereupon I had gotten the decks and some records out from storage... I did a rare session whilst making Mojitos for everyone who was there! Deep, dreamy, lost summery vibes that I love so much. Enjoy!"

Avenue Red Podcast #063 - Mike Starr

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 21 Apr 2016 00:00:00 +0000

For the 63rd Avenue Red Podcast we welcome DJ/Producer Mike Starr, an English expat in Berlin who has delivered a silky smooth mix of deep, vibrant, sensual House and Techno sounds. Mike has a great flow on the decks and his music choices are pretty broad - most importantly, the man has a good filter for quality and only the most tasteful materials make it through. Big-ups! "So about me: Berlin-based since 2009 and DJ'ing since the last 15 years. Got my early break as a resident in one of the best clubs that London ever produced - The End/AKA Bar, which like many others sadly no longer exists. I play House, Disco, Techno and many other sub-genres that exist out there. For the past several years I have been producing & releasing music on Berlin-based label Casual Lab. About this mix: It's an honour to feature a mix for Avenue Red. I have been listening for some time to the many, many talented DJ's that have had an opportunity to tell their individual story through their mixes. For me, I wanted to create an easy listening, non-intrusive mix that typifies how I approach a set; what influences me; what moves me; and how I want to create a journey - not to educate, but unique in a way to share with other like-minded listeners. It has a touch of dub here, a healthy dose of afro-centric beats there - all steeped in the heat of the sun that was beaming at the time I recorded the mix here in Berlin. I usually like to incorporate timeless tracks from the past and blend them with more recent offerings in my sets. This selection presented here is primarily a reflection of my time living in London in the 2000's through to the present day here in Berlin. Last year was a great year for me: from playing a variety of gigs here in Berlin; an international showcase on Oahu in Hawaii alongside Rampue, Monolink, Soukie & Windish and many others, to having a remix released on Ellen Allien's BPitch Control for Argy & Mama alongside Alan Fitzpatrick and Rampa. Currently I am heavily engrossed in the studio honing my craft but already I am talking with some great labels about future EP's and remixes. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for some surprises to come!" Mike*, April 2016 https://soundcloud.com/mikestarr

Avenue Red Podcast #062 - Verdant Recordings

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 14 Apr 2016 00:00:00 +0000

For the third time Avenue Red welcome back the immense iceberg of musical knowledge and sophisticated selectionism that is Verdant Recordings. We have been sitting on this mix for several weeks and have digested it and ground it down to some sort of atomic-level powder... we expect you to follow suit with this intergalactic mix of deep tunes. "I made this mix a few weeks back, not long after Bloc and during the inevitable comedown that always follows. Music is a powerful mood changer, so this was simply about going through some tunes whilst recording the session. There wasn't any consideration to play 'happy' tunes (I don't have that many!), but it was more about getting into the headspace of genuinely enjoying a deep mix. There's some new tracks here from Frazer Campbell, Evigt Mörker, Dorisburg, an amazing remix by Edit-Select just out on Silent Season, which I've really been digging alongside gems from John Daly, Causa and Recondite. Enjoy the tunes and thanks for listening!"

Avenue Red Podcast #061 - Torsten Brinkmann

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 11 Mar 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Seasoned record collector/DJ Torsten Brinkmann from Osnabrück, Germany turns his hand to Techno for the first time. A selection laced with deep, edgy lo-fi material and melancholic melodies. "I am a 32 year-old unknown DJ, music lover and collector from Osnabrück, Germany. The mix was my first one that could be considered as Techno. I recorded this one on a Satarday night with a couple of beers and a good flow :) Normally I am more into Deep House and Lo-Fi Sounds, so it was a nice change and I had a lot of fun mixing my small collection of Techno tracks from the last month. I started DJ'ing 15 years ago and did that for a while, like 8 years or so. Funky, Disco, French and Filtered House have been the genres I was playing back in the days. I took a long break then and focussed on other things like studying. That was the time when the big "Electro" wave came up... I really lost my interest in DJ'ing and electronic music in general through this period. Two years ago a couple of good friends invited me to a party called "Innervisions" at Robert Johnson. That was the night where I got a bit infected again. Since then I'm more into DJ'ing then ever before and I really love to dig for new and unique sounds."

Avenue Red Podcast #060 - Rubsilent

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 26 Feb 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Rubsilent from Istanbul, Turkey takes us on a slow-building trip through his amazing record collection with his 4th contribution to the series, taking us 60 deep. As far as we are concerned, Rubsilent (real name Hamza Solim) is probably the best DJ in the whole world. Fabric, Panorama Bar and other world stages of the underground: we urge you all to take note! "I must've purchased dozens of records within the past few months but they just sit and collect dust. I hardly record a selection with them because I started to get bored with idea of putting out mixes on a constant basis, I began to feel like it's no different from running around in circles somewhat, you feel your mixes are easily drowned as the internet is over-loaded with music these days. I keep purchasing the music that I feel on vinyl like always, from bangin' house to acid tracks, deepest house to chunky techno, but I hardly record any new sessions these days. I get to DJ out at clubs here in Istanbul but in order to play proper music for the heads at clubs in town, there has to be some decent afterhours club/small chill out room that's open-minded and receptive enough. The only trouble is you never really get both sides of the coin at one venue/event around here. So, I decided to come up with a selection where I can set the mood for late nights but that restlessness in my soul made me squeeze some naughty beats here and there too, so here is the latest Avenue Red selection for you! Some dusty deepness or acid traxx from the vault, mixed with fresh purchases of both new and old new records." Hamza Solim, February 2016.

Avenue Red Podcast #059 - Dan Cugudda

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 00:00:00 +0000

For the 59th Avenue Red Podcast we bring a local lad from Durham to the fray with an immense selection of deep, cosmic electronic music. Mostly 4/4 but with some more broken and obscure tracks also in the blend... and the man doing the blending shows his exquisite taste, keen ear for a transition and a very steady hand on the 1's & 2's. If you are in the North East you can catch Dan playing at The Tanners Arms, Newcastle for Avenue Red on Saturday 26th March. “I have been DJ'ing for 15 years now and since I was about 13 I've been hooked on electronic music. I grew up listening to a variety of music but was mostly onto UK techno and earlier, more underground trance and later Detroit techno music. I love how all of those genres have that underground feel but are also very accessible to the more casual listener. The music I featured on this mix is stylistically different but has the same fundamental qualities: melodic, but with dark undertones, always with a spacey, cosmic feel. This is a constant theme when I DJ, whether I'm playing electro, house, techno or broken beat stuff! The mix is a blend of old and new: there's tracks in there from the early 90's and features records I have collected right up to the present day. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did mixing it! :)” Dan Cugudda, February 2016

Avenue Red Podcast #058 - Max Hummel

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 04 Feb 2016 00:00:00 +0000

After a month-long hiatus we are back with more quality underground House & Techno mixes. For episoide #058 we present German selector Max Hummel with an infectiously deep & groovy selection of minimal tunes. "I'm from Wiesbaden, Germany (near Frankfurt). Wiesbaden isn't known for quality underground music, it's rather sceneless here - there are no possibilities to buy some good wax or go to good parties. But a little crew of friends and myself founded a party series called 'Listen True Music' in 2013 (https://soundcloud.com/listen-true). To show that people get more than only the usual serving of commercial shit at the same locations every weekend, last year we booked as a special guest Steve O'Sullivan, founder of the legendary Mosaic label for our 2nd anniversary event. This mix is full of minimal and deep house music. For my DJ sets I look for tracks with straight beats and some deep or dub sounds like in this mix. The most important thing for a good DJ set is that the sound will people tell an exciting story." Max Hummel, January 2016 https://soundcloud.com/xahm

Avenue Red Podcast #057 - Josh Lentink

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 06 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0000

We welcome the return of London selector Josh Lentink for his second mix on the Avenue Red Podcast. Here Josh starts off with a golden electro cut and slides through some smooth 4/4 deepness for over an hour. A pleasure as always, keep an eye on this young lad, he has 100% "got something". Also, make sure you cast your screens over to https://soundcloud.com/reprise - this is Josh's own podcast series, which was apparently inspired into being by Avenue Red. We are flattered Josh! He has obviously worked much harder than us over here, with the latest 30th episode coming within the first year! We'll both keep working to bring quality sounds to your ears, rest assured. Enjoy the mix everyone, the first of 2016 - a solid start. "Not much to say really, here's a mixture of old and new tracks that came together over a couple of evenings. I wanted to include a variety of genres throughout the mix which helped provide some unexpected changes. Enjoy x" Josh Lentink, January 2016 See Also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-044-josh-lentink https://soundcloud.com/joshlentink https://soundcloud.com/lentink https://soundcloud.com/reprise

Avenue Red Podcast #056 - Marc Cotterell

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 31 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0000

As with last year, we sneak in another episode on New Year's Eve! This stunning contribution to our series comes from Marc Cotterell from Alberquerque, New Mexico, USA... yep, the town where Breaking Bad was set! Unusually it just snowed really heavily there (inc. the time when this mix was recorded), hence the unusual picture of Marc's normally desert-like hometown setting. Marc's Plastik People label was established in 2012 and pays homage to his roots in the various swathes of quality 90's House & Garage music he was/still is into. It's a proper underground vinyl label whose music policy dovetails nicely with Avenue Red's, with artists on the roster including some of our true heroes Julien Jabre and Aqua Bassino amid others that Plastik People first introduced us to including Trinidadian Deep, Life Recorder, Mike Sharon and SoulBasics. The label is also a platform for Marc's own productions. This set is proper party fodder: starting off in soulful, groovin' House terrain; going through some rugged, bumpty Housey/Garagey stuff; then back into soulful jazzy House again for the finale. Perfectly mixed and excellently crafted, as is the case with everything that Marc puts his hand to. We hope you enjoy this mix and have a great new year ahead! Stay with us, some ace stuff forthcoming :) "As a DJ I play US House & Garage with a little UK flava thrown into the blender, all mixed on that splendid & mighty Rane MP-2015 mixer, which I just got my hands on recently." Marc Cotterell, December 2015 https://soundcloud.com/plastikpeoplerecordings

Avenue Red Podcast #055 - Mist

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 20 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0000

For the 55th Avenue Red Podcast we welcome a mysterious DJ/producer from Athens, Greece known as "Mist" and also as "Mist Soundscapes". In this 67-minute vinyl session he takes us through a dreamy, floaty, spacey selection of Deep House & Techno records with a very unique style of DJ'ing. Very trippy and relaxing. "My musical influences range from dub/deep techno/deep house/ambient/downtempo/modern classical/shoegaze/alternative rock. For this mix I wanted to show my way of creating a journey through music, trying to keep a balance from deep to dope. Enjoy!" Elias Vourlias, December 2015 https://soundcloud.com/dj-mist

Avenue Red Podcast #054 - Andrew Duke

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 11 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0000

For the 54th Avenue Red Podcast we welcome a truly talented, hard-working and well-respected veteran of the underground music scene - Andrew Duke from Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada. Andrew is a music collector, DJ, artist, remixer, sound designer, radio/mix show host and has also been writing about music since 1981. Andrew Duke In The Mix is his mixshow, which began way back in 1987 during the emergence of true House & Techno initially as a weekly radio show on CKDU 88.1FM Halifax NS Canada and ran through until 2004. He has continued the show independently since then to this very day on various platforms. As a producer, Andrew had a very nice record out on Own Jay's Batti Batti imprint, which comes with a remix from XDB. Well worth tracking down a copy! In this explosive mix of raw 80's Electro/Freestyle/Hip-House, Andrew has made 7 edits especially for this smoking hot mix for Avenue Red. Get involved and make sure to Like/Share if you're digging it ;) "A mix of some of my favourite freestyle and early electro cuts, including some edits I did personally for this mix.

Avenue Red Podcast #053 - Mr. Shadow

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 03 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0000

For 53rd Avenue Red Podcast we present a deep, grooving, soulful mix from Mr. Shadow (real name Mark McFarlane), the man behind the London House cult known as "The Brotherhood Of House". Mark's show runs on Deepvibes Radio and has had some great guests featured, including Avenue Red's Alec Pritchard (https://soundcloud.com/alecpritchard/the-brotherhood-of-house-034-alec-pritchard). The rest is from Mark himself, hope you all dig the selection! "Being asked to contribute a mix to this immense series has been an honour & hopefully lives up to the very high standards set by the past contributors that have graced this series. I try not to pre-plan my mixes & this one was no different. A lot of my stuff is solidly rooted in the old-school but also appreciating the new as a means to cover a wide spectrum of the House sound in a way that flows. Kicking off with two stone-cold classics from Logic & Mood ll Swing, the mix moves onto some newer cuts that I'm personally feeling at the moment, including Angelo Draetta & Luigi Egitto's “Frozen Eyes” on SP Recordings, also Cocoared's "Funk'N EvaMo" (Only Essence Re-Grooves) on Vital Grooves. A big highlight for me was being able to include two tracks from around '94 that I have never quite managed to incorporate into a set before: The Beloved's "1000 Years From Today" (Todd Edwards Remix) and one for the true veterans at the end - Da Cuban Heelz's "Da Theme". Hopefully you enjoy this mix as much as I enjoyed mixing it for this wonderful podcast series. I run a Radio show on Deepvibes Radio called The Brotherhood Of House. The whole ethos of the group/show/events are about promoting that House movement vibe which is severely lacking in today's industry. The shows attempt to showcase lesser-known but non the less talented DJ's & Producers to give them a platform to be heard alongside some very established names, such as Harold Heath, Daniel Ward, Roland Nights, Dweller, DJ Caspa, Dudley Strangeways & many many more."

We are pleased to deliver yet another 12 records, 10+ years old from an obscure crate-digging DJ who we had not heard from before... exactly the kind of DJ that interests us most! Gusev is a Russian living in Germany and clearly has a fantastic taste in music and can sure string a mix together! "No idea what should I write, man!... I'm an unknown DJ and vinyl collector. Born in St. Petersburg, currently living in Hanover, Germany. For this 1210 selection I have selected my all time favs. I hope you find this music as amazing as I do!"

Avenue Red Podcast #052 - Avaen

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 17 Nov 2015 00:00:00 +0000

The Avenue Red Podcast welcomes the second coming of Frankfurt-based DJ Avaen (real name Julian Hopp) who has put together an uber-deep vinyl mix of obscure, cavernous, hypnotic Techno to follow up on his previous selection of gourmet Deep House cuts. Don't forget your scuba gear! "For me, Techno music represents an equally broad spectrum of emotions as Classical Music. It is in the same way powerful in creating grandiose fantasies as it is straining in it's energy and exorbitance. It contains all of the emotional diversity that I want to perceive within electronic music."

Avenue Red Podcast #051 - Rob Cesar

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 10 Nov 2015 00:00:00 +0000

After yet another intentional pause in our output, where we have left the 50th episode simmering at the surface of a rich stock of mixes for 5 whole weeks, Avenue Red are back to deliver more underground audio cargo to your iPods, hi-fi's, memories and minds! For the 51st installment we present a delightfully groovy, shiny, melodic deep House selection from Rob Cesar, a music collector, DJ, physicist and high school teacher from Luxembourg. We had heard some of Rob's mixes before he sent this one over, with him having recently delivered the goods for our podcasting contemporaries at Hello Strange (https://soundcloud.com/hello_strange/rob-cesar-hello-strange-podcast-134), Smile This Sound (https://soundcloud.com/smile-this-sound/rob-cesar-smile-this-mixtape-49) and a stunning edition for Deep Afterhour (https://soundcloud.com/deepafterhour/rob-cesar-deep-afterhour-proposal) around a year ago. He didn't need to work too hard introducing himself to us. Rob is an 80's kid and has been into music and specifically dance music ever since he can remember. Creating VHS-mixtapes from MTV's "Party Zone" was his favourite pastime before he fell under the spell of the Technics MKII's in the late 90's. Noted for the accuracy of his mixing style, he earned himself regular appearances in Luxembourg-based clubs and festivals in the early 2000's. Rob tells us he is less active in his night-life shenanigans today, what with the responsibilities of adult life... but he hasn't lost an inch of his interest in music, as his output on Soundcloud readily testifies. "The story about this mix is quite simple: about two weeks ago, I was spinning some house tunes at home and, when I listened to the recording, I was like 'DAMN!! We got something going here!'. But as it was all spontaneous and stuff, there were parts in the set where mixing wasn't all good and one or two tracks didn't totally feel right, so I started a new recording, this time with a clear line in mind and then there it was, a collection of pure timeless house music, nothing more, nothing less... Hey, you know, I come from a generation where we used tapes, in order to get our music together, you know, just, doing your own mix-tapes and stuff, and I was sitting at home, listening to the radio, and, waiting for my favourite song to come up, and, when it did, they always, the radio stations always had to fade in and fade out early so you weren't able to get the whole piece together, so what I did was trying to get, find all the missing pieces in the radio, and I spent like, hours, just to get it all together you know, and I never did, actually, because, the radio stations weren't allowed to use the beginnings, the very beginnings and the very ends, but I didn't know that as a kid so I was like naive and I was waiting and waiting for hours to fulfil my, my mix-tape, my collection of songs, you know, hum, and that was home taping for me, you know..." Rob Cesar, November 2015 https://soundcloud.com/rob-cesar ===== Tracklist published after 500 Soundcloud listens.

Avenue Red Podcast #050 - Keith Anderson

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 06 Oct 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red is 50!! And to celebrate this milestone of celestial mixed-up electronic music installments we present a hardened veteran from the London House/Techno scene, Keith Anderson. He is the man behind our favourite live-streaming DJ/artist platform, Timeline Music, which is home to Verdant Recordings and Steve S's own respective shows and very notably Brad P & Rai Scott's Mood Sync Radio among a great many talented others. Keith started Timeline Music alongside Terry Mitchell to document futuristic, forward thinking music from both past and present, streaming and cataloguing live and pre-recorded audio/visual performances by DJs from around the world. Timeline Music also has the upfront reviews section, "Quality Control", filtering out the quality forthcoming releases from the ever increasing amount of background noise. After being a huge Hip Hop fan in the mid-80's Keith moved on to listening to Acid House and started digging many forms of Detroit and Detroit-inspired Music. He then bought his first pair of decks a year later and has never looked back. He has played at some of the biggest Techno events in London including Ultimate Bass, Eurobeat 2000, Deep Space, Analogue City and many more. "I have always focussed hard on the technical side of the DJ'ing game... I have always believed that the mixing is just as important as the music. This set shows the Deeper side of things, so hope you enjoy this tunnel experience."

Avenue Red 1210 Mk7 - Perseus Traxx

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 28 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0000

It's now 6 months since the last episode of our 1210 sister series, so first a recap of the concept: named after Technics 1210 turntables, this is all about the Oldskool. The DJ is to select exactly 12 records that are 10+ years old. For Mk7 we welcome Perseus Traxx (real name Nigel Rogers) from York, England, who has had vinyl releases on Bunker, M>O>S, Photic Fields, Boe Recordings, BoomChik, Chiwax, Sequencias and Future Flash to name a few. Here Nigel has delivered a portrait of the ground-zero early 80's House music that is now commonly referred to as "Proto-House". The rest is from the man himself... "Ahhhh, sweet rebellion. I did this mix on a pair of 1200s. Podcasts and mixes forming a document which can be re-visited numerous times fill me with dread. Hearing things in my flat is a nightmare, not helped by the anxiety of whether the tone arm will be stuck or the bass pot on the other channel will play up, though I'm quite happy with this. My concern was that it would become too house based, but I think the balance is about right. Actually the J.M. Silk record is the first record to vocally use the term 'House'. I got the Hanson & Davis record after Chris Duckenfield posted a link from Youtube called 'How People Originally Cut Shapes To House In The UK' which was shot in Manchester in 1986 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBYvWPdUOHM). I thought it was immense and he told me what it was, so I hit discogs, also picking up a copy of the house record he'd made using the bass line. This clip shows a legacy of music pre-dating the oft-told narrative of acid house emanating from London when a group of DJ's came back from Ibiza. It also shows how some weird ass funk sat so neatly next to house. Music is for what the crowd are doing. Similarly, I picked up a copy of 'I Love You' by Yello the other week after hearing it on an episode of New York Dance Stand filmed at Danceteria in 1983 which was embedded in an article about Mark Kamins, the DJ there, and how he fused all kinds of music together as electronic music was starting to become even more prevalent (http://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2014/02/mark-kamins-interview). Inspiration comes from all over and some things just click into place. I wanted to do something different and I suppose this is the sort of thing I've been filling my head with. Listening back, the content of the records used is pretty much about love, sex and dancing, the main reasons people go to nightclubs. I hope you enjoy the mix and check out the links once you've finished." Nigel Rogers, August 2015 https://soundcloud.com/perseus-traxx ===== 01 Hanson & Davis - Tonight (Love Will Make It Right) (Vocal) // Fresh Records (1985) 02 NV - It's Alright (Extended Version) // Sire (1983) 03 Yello - I Love You // Stiff Records (1983) 04 Modern Mechanical Music - Persia // Sunset Records Inc.

Avenue Red Podcast #048 - Rob Moller

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 19 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0000

We are pleased to release yet another Avenue Red Podcast episode from a local Newcastle DJ: Rob Moller. Rob is a resident alongside Nicky Mann and Damien Walker at the excellent CTRL parties that have graced Cosmic Ballroom and various other venues in the City with some very fine electronic music, with guests including Rødhåd, Mark Broom and a slew of other talented local music heads. Rob's Soundcloud page became alight with some incredible recorded mixes this year, both titled as volumes 1 & 2 of "100ft Under"... This mix was destined to become volume 3 of his new series but rather naturally for pathological chancers like us, we nicked it for Avenue Red!! :D We noticed in the accompanying texts that the theme of the two aforementioned mixes was "hangover vibes... hence feeling 100ft under!". We quizzed Rob about the reason for this obscure time to hit the record button: "I started 100ft under that way and I suppose it's now a bit of a ritual! I think it has worked rather well for me. My collection spans across lots of disparate styles and genres and it gives me some kind of structure as I think being hungover makes me select tracks with sounds that help to sooth my mind and allow me to float away on the musical journey!" This mix certainly is soothing: loaded with blissful, melancholic melodies; dreamy, ghostly tracks that make you feel like you ate the wrong kind of mushrooms in your bolognese meal earlier; hypnotic, trippy passages and some downright beautiful ornaments of the deeper shades of House & Techno music! As always, enjoy the mix everyone, not being shy to share it to your friends. And not as always: Rob is playing at a mini Avenue Red "launch party" for this episode at The Tanners Arms in Newcastle this coming Saturday (22-08-2015) alongside Alec Pritchard. If you're in town, come along from 20:00-00:00! "Sticking with the same theme as with my own little 100ft Under series (see Soundcloud link below) I wasn't focused on the genre so much, it's more about selecting tracks that evoke a certain type of feeling... very dreamy and evocative. The kind of tracks that help you forget what you're doing and allow you to get lost in the music."

Avenue Red Podcast #047 - Chris Boardman

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 12 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0000

After a recent spate of gigs in his hometown of Nottingham, nearby Derby and slightly further afield Leeds, we welcome the return of Leftback Records homeboy Chris Boardman for a second round on the Avenue Red Podcast series. This mix provides a great summary of Chris' role in the Leftback label parties alongside his friends Dudley Strangeways & Michael McLardy; a deep, dubby Techno vibe to warm up and some mind-blowing minimal Techno rhythms & sounds for laters. "We've got some Leftback gigs coming up in Notts including a Saltwater Rooftop Terrace party and some events lined up in a few other cities. I will be venturing over to Birmingham to play at some good-looking parties but it's all still to be confirmed at the moment. I really want to start pushing on with my productions and hopefully get my sound pressed onto wax!" "I like to play the deep, dubby side of Techno which I really tried to prove in this mix. I begin with some warm Dub Techno vibes, bringing it up and down along the way and taking it up a gear at just the right moment. I love the stripped-back, looping kinds of 4/4 tracks that you can get all wrapped up in and lose your mind to... makes you forget about all of your troubles and worries and just enjoy a timeless moment in the music. This is one of the key things I love about House and Techno, it can be seriously transcendental!"

Avenue Red Podcast #046 - Luger

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 05 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0000

The 46th Avenue Red Podcast installment comes from Luger (real name Dorin Croitoru) from Bucharest, the sprawling capital city of Romania. Luger is a friend and musical peer of Profet, the man behind that awesome 17th installment in our series (https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-017-profet). Through their events platform Chameleon and various other happenings at Bucharest’s Control Club, Luger and Profet have played alongside some incredible global acts, as Luger states himself: “We are working on bringing artists that we respect and are close to the directions we feel we must take in regards with our visions of quality music. Our last guest was XDB and in the past we brought over Marcellus Pittman, Hakim Murphy, John Heckle and Paul du Lac to mention a handful. I'm a regular at Control either with local players and movers on the scene or in supporting acts for control guest DJ’s such as Even Tuell, Ulf Eriksson, Legowelt, Gunnar Haslam, DJ TLR and so on”. This mix is an incredibly smooth and dynamic mixture of eerie, trippy ambient soundscapes; curiously introspective moments; hypnotic minimal tracks and also some beautifully crafted melodic tracks too… it’s something that you can really lose yourself in and then re-find yourself an hour later after the silence has begun. “The first thing that comes to mind about how this mix came out is balance. A podcast is a great opportunity to stop researching music outside of the box and concentrate on what is already inside the collection. The process of finding pieces of a jigsaw that fit perfectly and crafting a spot, a shape or a space for something else or around something is one of the best ways of getting a deeper knowledge and understanding of the music that lured you in. The way you map it all out is where the DJ shows their true creative edge.” Dorin Croitoru, August 2015 https://soundcloud.com/luger https://soundcloud.com/chameleonparties ===== Full tracklist for this mix coming soon, but do feel free to ask for track ID's in the comments in the meantime.

Avenue Red Podcast #045 - DJ Jes

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 22 Jul 2015 00:00:00 +0000

The 45th Avenue Red Podcast comes from Chicago House music veteran, DJ Jes. Born in Mexico and raised in Chicago, Jes has been exposed to the vibrant Chicago music culture since the early 80's. It was very early on when he realised his passion for music and began working on his musical career. Growing up on the West side of Chicago he saw his peers choosing a lifestyle of gangs and guns, with daily activity of violence and crime. Embracing his negative childhood exposure, Jes chose a different road, using that negative to propel him into a life of musical expression. Twenty five years later, Jes is still continuing his path of musical creativity. Since his first EP on Chicago Groove in 1995 Jes has developed a rich discography on some great labels such as NRK, Afterhours, Camouflage, Tango, Siesta, Concrete Music and his own imprint Fresca Recordings to name a few. Also notable is a more recent 2014 release on Tardis, a young label run by Oscar Schubaq & Eli Verveine. His presence on the old West Coast US House mainstay labels is particularly strong and it seems Jes has kept the essence of that incredible era of House music as part of his modern-day production style. As a DJ, the Chicago underground has been moved by DJ Jes for over 25 years and he was an original House pioneer who played at Chicago's infamous House & Techno club "The Warehouse". Jes has the technical skills and musical talent to give us all the soulful energy that only music can communicate. The recent venture of Jes's label, Fresca recordings, has with its Twentieth release received well-deserved media and industry attention. Jes continues to showcase and collaborate with other talented producers world-wide, having previously worked on music with many true legends including Tyree Cooper, Fast Eddie, Robert Owens and Justin Long among others. This exclusive mix is a proper slammin' summer party session, Chicago-style! Enjoy the mix everyone and as always, don't be shy to Like, Repost & Share! "This mix is a House Blend of tunes from the 90's mixed with the latest in House. I have selected these incredible House Tracks for the ones who truly love our sound. Some of these selections were played at some amazing Underground Parties I have been lucky enough to spin at. Hope you enjoy my picks for my friend Alec and friends @ Avenue Red. Thank you, DJ Jes. Peace."

Avenue Red Podcast #044 - Josh Lentink

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 09 Jul 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red Podcast 044 comes from Josh Lentink, a vinyl collector, Techno enthusiast and 2-deck gymnast from London who has put together for us a real treat of deep, intricate 4/4 noise of the highest order. It's always nice to see a mix arriving in your inbox with tracks from the likes of Exos, Oz Artists, Makam, Dario Zenker etc. and this has been masterfully put together by the man behind the Reprise Podcast series that was credited to have been inspired by Avenue Red. Get into this! "Lately I've been listening to a lot of Dub Techno but not necessarily mixing it. I enjoyed pulling some of those records out for this. I also concentrated quite a bit on the structure; I wanted the energy to build steadily but was also happy for it to drift into some more hypnotic sections. Often when my mixes start this way they become much heavier towards the peak. It was nice to keep this one fairly deep and dubby throughout."

Avenue Red Podcast #043 - Transition Crew

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 01 Jul 2015 00:00:00 +0000

The next Avenue Red podcast comes from the 4-man Transition Crew based around the North London/Stevenage area. 4 true purveyors who have lived a life of music and all that follows... searching, digging, DJ'ing and producing sounds primarily focussed on House, Techno, Electro and IDM styles. These 4 have between them a Universe of music knowledge and have kept their ears to the ground for a long time, all the while unearthing the sweetest underground cuts found throughout a significant period of observable electronic music history. This mix is to promote their new Transition project, which is a fresh and exciting event/group/movement/page and also a monthly event in the Kings Cross area of London. The mix enclosed is a blinding extravaganza of everything in their bag that they... well, chose to pull out for it. As you can probably tell, we don't want to say much else about it for now - the mix sells itself, as quality speaks for itself. The other information is from the Transition Crew, enjoy! "We like techno, we like funk, we like a groove and we like it deep. We have a lot in common as purveyors and collectors of techno and so it seemed logical to put our hearts, ears and heads together for Transition. It's just a small party in a pub basement for our like-minded friends at this stage; a natural extension of our regular 'techno summits' of talking music and drinking ale together, as we have for the last few years when we realised we all lived in the same town and enjoyed each others friendship. This recording came together a couple of weeks ago with 4 bags full of records largely unplanned for and the end result is this mix (it's the second take as we realised mic got left open on the first). Transition part two is Saturday 4th July @ Star of Kings Cross. Event Page: www.facebook.com/events/473450536145488/ Enjoy the mix and maybe see some of you on the 4th?

Avenue Red Podcast #042 - Alex Tasso

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 16 Jun 2015 00:00:00 +0000

The Avenue Red Podcast is once again happy to deliver a fresh dosage of deep'n'dubby Techno vibes, with Italian artist/DJ Alex Tasso stepping up to the plate. Remember that mega-deep 25th episode in our series from Hydergine? Well, it turns out that Alex is a friend of his and also from the town of Taranto in southern Italy. After receiving this mix out of the blue, we only realised this detail after initially hearing and noting the connection in style to the Hydergine mix. Prepare to enter some trippy sonic landscapes which, with a little imagination, can make you feel as if you are detached, lost and alone on some mysterious alien planet with a strong and rather delightful sense of isolation - no drugs required! "I am a passionate listener, collector and DJ from Taranto, southern Italy. Since 2007 my love for Dub and Detroit-influenced Techno sounds led me to experiment and express my passion as a self-taught producer. After several slots in the local scene I joined the Sound Department crew in 2014, spreading my idea of Dub/Techno music in one of the most active clubs in the south of Italy."

Avenue Red Podcast #041 - Verdant Recordings

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 04 Jun 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Yet again we welcome a DJ back to the stage for Avenue Red Podcast 41, this time with a blinding mix from Verdant Recordings (real name Andy Green) from the much maligned Stevenage near London, an old hotbed of good times from the halycon days of electronic music. This is his second contribution to Avenue Red, following on from his Avenue Red 1210 Mk4 mix, strictly for the connoisseurs (link below). Andy's Verdant Sessions shows on Timeline-Music.net are a great place to discover exciting new releases mixed with old, forgotten gems from his collection and this mix provides a great summary of the kind of music he is focussed on with that project. Andy has also co-founded a new music group and party called Transition along with Stephen Sherdel, Leigh Dickson & Rick Hopkins with a mission to play out "Intergalactic Funk". He's also 1/3 of the SUNK collective, another London night of quality House and Techno. "Not sure I really wanted to achieve anything specific for this Avenue Red mix other than compile 80 minutes of quality tunage to enjoy. A clutch of new records (new Stojche is a beauty), some old house references and perhaps one or two inevitable represses that filled a space in my collection. Deep House, deep Techno, dub inflections... the usual VR vibes."

Avenue Red Podcast #040 - Rubsilent

Following on from his first contribution for the 28th Avenue Red Podcast he is back for the 40th!! We are very proud to present another exciting mix from Rubsilent (real name Hamza Solim) from Istanbul, Turkey. A master collector/selector since '96, Rubsilent has delivered this impeccably mixed set of soul-warming, body grooving, summery tunes at the perfect moment. This is the Avenue Red soundtrack to the summer delivered by our number-1 man for the job! Enjoy on a hot day with a chilled drink... with ice... and one of those little umberellas sticking out of the top! :D "Since 1996 I have been constantly buying the music that I love on vinyl, however I don't necessarily rush ahead and cram mixtapes full of all my latest new purchases. I like to mix old and new and I publish online the ones I believe in, however I noticed that I hadn't really come up with a 99% pure house-oriented session for a while... This mix contains some new releases and some records that I haven't touched for many years that have been collecting layers of dust. So as the summer is around the corner I decided to come up with a more jazzy, groovy and organic session. Here it is, enjoy the sounds and the summer vibes!" Hamza Solim, May 2015.

Avenue Red Podcast #039 - Skoork

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Mon, 18 May 2015 00:00:00 +0000

For the 39th instalment of the Avenue Red Podcast we welcome yet another Russian DJ to the series as we present Skoork (real name Petr Skoork) from St. Petersburg, Russia's second largest city in the North West corner of the country. Petr has been DJ'ing since 2006 and later began experimenting with music production as of 2014. His musical works have been released on Dutch label Deep Sense Records and more recently on Belgian label Conceptual Records, with another EP due out in Autumn. Petr's sound as producer and DJ is very much consistent: a distinctly dubby, deep and hypnotic variant of House & Techno - a sound that appears to be a very strong element of the contemporary musical landscape in Russia... an area of music Avenue Red is keeping a close eye on. "This mix was recorded especially for the team at Avenue Red, very close to me the sound of British electronic scene! Setup: AKAI APC40\Ableton Live. Enjoy the session!"

Avenue Red Podcast #038 - Josef Lawler

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 06 May 2015 00:00:00 +0000

For the 38th Avenue Red Podcast we have an eclectic, rather odyssey-like 90-minute mix from Southport-based DJ, Josef Lawler. Josef holds a monthly residency in his hometown at a monthly event called Macooza, which has just recently celebrated it's 1st birthday and has seen Josef play in support of guests like Seelie, Lazare Hoche and System 2, with grand master Rikki Humphrey (see: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-023-rikki-humphrey) coming to spin there in June also – sounds like a top party to be resident at! In this exclusive selection Josef lays down a trippy mixture of records from curious, eerie Ambient sounds to driving, hypnotic Acid and from deep, twisted Techno to oldskool, melodic IDM... this mix takes you on a real journey and shows you just how rich, diverse and interesting electronic music has become. Listen from start to finish please! Flick through this mix and you are simply not going to get it. "This mix is an insight to the sort of stuff I like to play out, a balance of old and new records, some deeper cuts and a few more made for the floor! Hope you enjoy the mix" Josef Lawler, May 2015 @joseflawler ===== Full tracklist for this mix coming soon, but do feel free to ask for track ID's in the comments in the meantime.

Avenue Red Podcast #037 - Force Placement

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 17 Apr 2015 00:00:00 +0000

The 37th Avenue Red Podcast comes from Force Placement (real name Jason James) from the West side of Los Angeles in California, USA. Jason has been DJ'ing regularly around his massive metropolitan hometown since his late teens over a decade ago. He sent us this mix and we liked the selection and felt it added something unique to the series, a vinyl-only mix fusing House & Techno that is deep, rhythmic and strange with lots of spacey melodic tracks scattered throughout. We took out some time to have a brief Q & A with Jason about the mix, how's tricks and what's been happening in the music world over in Los Angeles! Q. Hi Jason! What is the music scene like in LA for Electronica/House/Techno at the moment? It's a massive city so you'd imagine there to be a lot going on? A. The scene is pretty vibrant right now, lots of great underground events and solid bookings every weekend. Recent events that come to mind have had Bok Bok, Jacques Renault, Untold, Max Graef, Gerry Read etc. For a while it was mostly illicit warehouse parties but the cops started busting them more so it's died down a bit in that respect, but still lots of great events at bars/clubs to check out. Q. I read that in LA, the clubs closed at 2am which gave rise to a culture of illegal warehouse parties. Is that what you are referring to that "died down"? A. Yea clubs close at 2. It's state law in California so people threw illegal parties but the LAPD started cracking down on them hard. Resident Advisor did an article about it (http://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=25170). They talk about the Omar-S party that got busted, I was there! There were like 20 cop cars and helicopters flying around, shit was crazy! Q. So, have you played at any gigs that got busted? A. Never. But it would be seriously frustrating! I know that it can be pretty devastating for the promoters here too. However, we have a deal worked out with the venue for our Black Lodge parties so we can go past 2. Q. So does this early closure time encourage an after-party culture that spills out into house parties? Does this help relatively unknown DJ's get noticed at after-parties where DJ's/promoters end up after a 2am close? A. Yeah definitely, there is a massive after-hours culture! I suppose it can actually help DJ's to get that initial exposure, more visibility/recognition in the underground scene. Q. Could you say a couple of words about your Black Lodge party you mentioned and how it started? What's the format and music policy? A. Black Lodge was my buddy Vikas Malhotra's (aka Kosmik) concept and he asked me to help out. He's a good friend of mine from when I lived in Santa Barbara. The music format is primarily underground house/techno music. We try to emphasize playing vinyl there too. The venue is a very unique one-of-a-kind space, it looks like a haunted library or something! It can only fit like 50 people max, a very intimate space ideal for what we are trying to do. Q. To you personally, is the vinyl format important? Do you think that vinyl DJ'ing is getting more popular in LA like it certainly is over here in Europe, or is it in decline maybe? A. I enjoy the challenge of playing vinyl, but the format isn't important. The selection is more important than what you use in my view. There are some cool record stores here but I'm not sure if I'd say it's getting more popular. Sadly a few established stores have closed here in recent years but a few new ones have emerged too, however few of them specialize in dance music. Q. I noticed that you play regularly at that venue called Complex in LA and have a gig there tonight, right? A. Yea I've been getting some cool gigs there recently! I'm opening for Ital (Planet Mu) and Aurora Halal (Mutual Dreaming) tonight. I'm also playing a party at Complex on 30th April for an event called "That's Deck", opening for Stefan Ringer (NDATL, CGI Recordings), Cromie (Peach) and An Expresso (L2S Recordings) (info on that here: http://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=28935). April's shaped up to be a busy month for sure! Q. Have you ventured into production works at all? A. Sure have, I have been experimenting with making music since I was 16 but only recently started taking it more seriously. I have just put a track out called Neopolitan on this LP that is available to download here: https://la909.bandcamp.com/album/l-a-909-friends-vol-1 Q. Thanks for the mix, the track (which is ace!) and the chat, hope tonight goes well bro! Any final words about the mix? A. Thanks! Right now I've got my decks set up in my kitchen and I recorded this mix while sipping tea and baking some tilapia. Vinyl-only. Please enjoy, thanks!

Avenue Red Podcast #036 - TIJN

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 03 Apr 2015 00:00:00 +0000

For the 36th Avenue Red Podcast we finally present a DJ/artist who hails from our territory up here in Newcastle in the North East of England! This is a 2-hour vinyl-only mix from TIJN, the latest pseudonym of Martyn Hodgson (AKA Martijn) who is an experienced DJ and a talented producer with around a dozen releases to his name. Martyn is also the owner of the well-respected Deep Edition Recordings imprint and also the vinyl-only label In Haus Wax, which is strictly limited to 100 pressings per release. This selection is a very interesting mixture of deep, drivin', groovin' House records with some obscure Techno bits too. Notably this is a very fresh selection of wax with 90% of the records played being new 2015 releases - very refreshing and good to see a DJ supporting the work of new artists and labels! Speaking of new releases, the new "Vivienne's Groove EP" release from TIJN has just come out on Ibiza label ISGUD and he has 2 more in the pipeline: one for Overall Music and another for Worx Records. Along with a gig in Paris coming up in May, things are certainly looking good for TIJN. Hope you all enjoy the mix as we did, it's a total banger!!

And here is the first of 2 exclusive mixes we are releasing to follow-up on his main podcast. This mix is from 2013 - it was the one that we first heard from Maxim and thought it was glowing, radioactive, interesting, alien, deep, dark... Really got us buzzing!

Avenue Red Podcast #035 - Avaen

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 25 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000

The 35th instalment of the Avenue Red Podcast series comes from Avaen (real name Julian Hopp) who hails from the German city of Frankfurt that is sometimes referred to as "Mainhattan" due to it's magnificent hi-rise skyline. Originally from Bavaria, Julian is relatively new to the art of DJ'ing having invested in his first pair of turntables just 18 months ago. However, he is no newcomer to a life of music in general. Having been schooled at a music-focussed Bavarian Grammar School named Regensburger Domspatzen, he grew up being instilled with a rich, classical musical background that has later developed into a deep curiosity for various forms of electronic music. Having discovered his love for House and Techno and all styles connected, he set about on a mission to develop his DJ'ing abilities and has very quickly managed to gain ground from his endeavours, having found some notoriety as a selector of deep, mysterious and intellectual House music that has paved the way to a string of gigs in Frankfurt, Berlin, Marseille and Madrid. "My great Ambition with making a mixtape in general is trying to create an arrow of tension where the highest point, the climax, is a very brief moment. I don't like to overload the selection with rough and aggressive elements. My motivation is to play organic and especially warm music, often with classical elements. The good old sounds of Chicago being connected with modern House music styles are always a signature of my mixes." Julian Hopp, March 2015 https://soundcloud.com/avaenn ===== Full tracklist for this mix coming soon, but do feel free to ask for track ID's in the comments in the meantime.

Avenue Red Podcast #034 - MA.XIM

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 14 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000

For the 34th Avenue Red Podcast we present Maxim Sukhanov AKA MA.XIM from Rostov-on-Don in South-West Russia. Like many other DJ's on the Avenue Red series, we discovered Maxim simply through his Soundcloud page after he released 2 mixes (currently not available) a couple of years ago and were really taken by his uber-deep, very dark style of dub-infused House & Techno music and were blown away by his slick and charismatic DJ'ing style. This new mix follows the same kind of path as what we first heard. Maxim has toured across various cities of Russia and CIS countries and co-founded a party and music movement in his hometown of Rostov called HOT-BOX, where he has been the steady-handed resident DJ since it's inception hosting a wide plethora of international guests including Jody Wisternoff, Echonomist, Lola Palmer and Neil Quigley to name a few. He also hosts 2 radio shows on his local station - 161.FM Rostov-on-Don - where he regularly invites guests from the underground music scene across Russia to participate. We really dig his vibe and music choices and the way he ties it all together like only a true DJ knows how to. Enjoy the mix everyone, links to his music pages below!

Avenue Red Podcast #033.3̅ - Mark Nicholas O.

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 07 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000

This is Avenue Red Podcast 033.3¯, precisely 3 hours, 33 minutes, 33 seconds, 333 milliseconds of wild music from the Ringrose Records boss Mark Nicholas O. Mark played at an Avenue Red event at The Tanners up here in Newcastle, England just before the turn of the New Year and has kindly provided us with this mix to follow up, injecting something very different to our series. This epic 3½ hour session of music showcases a number Mark's own productions, woven into a fabric of lively roots House, nice Garage, weird Garage and all manner of miscellaneous abstract electronic music presented in Mark's trademark style with irregular pacing - sometimes disjointed - but always exciting on the ear and distinctly danceable. Every crease of warm distortion is intentional and part of the sound design that Mark has developed. There's a lot to take in here... It takes some commitment but it's worth it as there are some truly golden moments contained within - stay with it and please do comment, like and share it far and wide!

Avenue Red 1210 Mk6 - Steve S

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 20 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000

For the 6th installment of the Avenue Red 1210 series, we present a stunning mix from Stephen Sherdel AKA "Steve S", who delivered us a solid selection of deep, dubby 90's Techno and Tech House sounds. "From my lifetime's base here in sunny Stevenage in Hertfordshire, England I have been listening, buying, DJ'ing and clubbing since the mid-90's. My musical tastes have varied from Hardcore to Techno to House and now a combination of them all. With influences ranging from artists/deejays like Andrew Weatherall, Laurent Garnier, Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin & Derrick Carter, I hope to think that my style and musical choices incorporate the best of them all and my mixes take you on a trip from nothing to something! As of February 2015 I've been let loose on Timeline-Music.net (every last Tuesday of the month) and Househeadsradio.com where you can catch me spinning regularly. I heard about Avenue Red through my good friend Andy Green (AKA Verdant Recordings, who did the 4th episode in this series) and thought that the 1210 series (12 records 10+ years old) is a great concept and decided I had plenty of vinyl within that criteria to produce a quality hours blend... hope you enjoy the selection I came up with!"

Avenue Red Podcast #031 - Jonna (City Fly)

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 21 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0000

For the 31st Avenue Red Podcast we present Jon Iliffe, better known simply as "Jonna", the man behind the long-running Leicester-based club night, radio show and record label, City Fly. Alec from Avenue Red went to University in Leicester and was a regular attendee at the early City Fly parties that began in 2004 and became noticed immediately with solid bookings (including Phil Weeks from Robsoul Recordings, Paris) coming to hit the City of Leicester hard with a heavy dosage of high quality house music. Fast forward over 10 years of consistent hard work... Jonna, along with cohorts Dale Tonks and Ashley Stevenson have put an enormous amount of energy into the artistic direction of their promotions and created a uniquely holistic brand identity for their music. They have managed to remotely run successful events in London (100 miles from Leicester) at venues like Basing House and Bar 54 and have ruddered City Fly into becoming a proper record label, pressing vinyl and hosting music from renowned House music artists including Andrés, Flori, DJ Nature, Fred P, Red Rack'Em, Iron Curtis and Leif to name a few... City Fly is a name that puts Leicester on the underground music map and a label to watch out for. In this exclusive 1-hour session, Jonna takes us on a journey through what's been happening in his box over the last year with every track in the mix being from 2014. We have been listening to this mix on heavy repeat over the last couple of weeks and can testify that it's about as addictive as Crystal Meth mixed with Krokodil. This is true house music - City Fly style! "I've not been very prolific with my output of mixes over the past year so I decided to go in full-wack with the kind of set that I play at my club event City Fly, which is based in Leicester. Ruff beats & basslines with plenty of groove & soul. Hope you enjoy!"

Avenue Red 1210 Mk5 - Red D

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Next up in Avenue Red 1210 series, where 12 records are played that are 10+ years old, we have Red D AKA Bart Van Neste from Gent, Belgium. Also known as FCL in allegiance with fellow Belgian DJ/producer San Soda, Bart is the owner of We Play House Records and did the 5th episode of the main Avenue Red Podcast series. "Here I present 12 x 12”, all older than 10 years. I took a while to curate this set of records - I finally decided on making a mix of Belgian club classics from the early-to-mid 90's when there were not forests of sub-genres and Trance was not yet a dirty word! So what you're getting is the raw sound of the Belgian underground clubs around 94/95, very much what inspired me to take up DJ'ing more seriously..."

Avenue Red Podcast #030 - Kammerton

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 31 Dec 2014 00:00:00 +0000

It's New Year's Eve 2014 and we have just managed to get to our 30th episode thanks to the handy-work of Kammerton (real name Stepan Chernov), a diverse musical talent who hails from the Russian city of Ulyanovsk, located on the Volga River 900 kilometres east of Moscow. Now living in Moscow, Stepan is an accomplished pianist, kapellmeister (chapel master/director of a choir), electronic music producer, DJ, sound engineer, sound designer for films & cartoons and he also runs the video podcast www.friendly-vibes.com, which is as he puts it: "for all lovers of warm groove and high spirits". Stepan has played at many clubs across central Russia and has held residencies at Moscow clubs Shanti and Propaganda and also on RTS.FM Moscow. He first caught our interest with his slick production work, most notably the amazing Take Me For Granted EP from 2012 that was released on Housewax, from which the track "A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats" was played on Avenue Red Radio show 004: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/radio-show-004. This mix is a mega deep, dark and groovy session of mysterious House and Techno, with lots of new music featured. Crank it on at high volume for your NYE celebrations, and be sure to download a copy... you may find that this mix really grows on you! "This mix is written spontaneously, one Sunday evening. I felt the need to unwind and leave the house. Quickly gathering my DJ bag, I went to a nice friendly bar in my home town of Ulyanovsk where I could play at any time. The venue did not want anything too active and energetic, the more so because it was Sunday, so I played deep and groovy styles. In recent times, I have found that I absolutely do not want to drink alcohol and I have been getting into different tea drinks, such as oolong. It gets me into an amazing deep meditative state and it helps me to really swing it in the mix."

Avenue Red 1210 Mk4 - Verdant Recordings

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 17 Dec 2014 00:00:00 +0000

It has been 8 months since we released Dieter Mit Platten's excellent trainspotters selection for the Avenue Red 1210 series, where 12 records are played that are 10+ years old. Now we can update this sister series playlist with a new selection of 12 choice gems from Andy Green AKA Verdant Recordings, who is based in Hitchin, England. "I have been listening to the Avenue Red series for a while and when I spotted the invite to put together a digger's selection it piqued my interest. Frankly, I'm a bit of a junkie for new music and having skipped most of the late 90's for "serious" record collecting this was a good challenge to accept. By default I’m a Deep Techno head but have mellowed into house and more so Dub Techno in recent years, so these selections sit somewhere in that space. The Hexagon is a good example; I bought that on release for the acidic Burning Trash Floor and ignored the B's until much later and much prefer those now. I picked out Daniel Bell's Elevate too since he's partly responsible for developing my taste in recent years. I heard several sets by various DJs within a few months of each other (his at Bloc about 5 years ago) that really made me feel House music in a different way. A gem from John Harvey too, a wonderful producer of emotive deep music which leads onto Delsin; I challenge anyone to find a mediocre release from Marsel. Artemis is my favourite and it blends beautifully with UR's Transitions... but that would have made it 13! Enjoy!"

Avenue Red Podcast #029 - Jori Hulkkonen

Avenue Red Podcast 029 is an exclusive mix by Jori Hulkkonen, recorded live at a recent event called "My House Is Your House" at a venue called Portti, playing a vinyl-only set at a rare appearance in his hometown of Turku in Finland. Originally hailing from the rather remote Northern town of Kemi in the Lapland region (a place from which The Northern Lights can be seen on 100 days per year), Jori has consistently been a truly inspired innovator throughout a productive music career spanning over two decades, rendering a rich and eclectic discography of releases including a dozen full studio albums, dozens of singles and remix projects counting into the 200's. A mainstay artist on Eric Morand & Laurent Garnier's (sadly now defunct) F Communications label, Jori's musical output has bled into many different genres and styles, mostly ranging from House to Techno and Electro to Ambient. He has done some conceptual artistic work too, having assembled the Acid Symphony Orchestra in 2007 - an experimental, avant-garde, 11-man techno ensemble featuring ten Roland TB-303's - performing a raw score all written, conducted and mixed by Jori. As a DJ, Jori has played all over the world and played at hundreds of clubs and festivals throughout the years since the early 90's. His luscious style of high quality, melodic, groovin' House music was brilliantly captured on his famed Radio One Essential Mix from 2002 (https://soundcloud.com/blanche/jori-hulkkonen-essential-mix-2002-02-03) and this mix for our series has distinct echoes of that brilliant session and that era of House music in general. Hope you're ready to hear some classic and obscure House gems woven in true style by a master of the business... Enjoy the mix everyone! "The fact that it was a party rather than something recorded at home makes it feel like a bit of hit-compilation vibe. But the crowd who were there were so young, I'd guess they'd never heard any of this classic stuff before so my idea was to show them the best of what true Deep House has to offer rather than play curiosities for the connoisseurs. Deep House in 2014 has a very different ring than it did say 15 years ago and I used this session to show them how it used to be. The tracklist is included in full - I have no secrets on this one."

Avenue Red Podcast #028 - Rubsilent

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 18 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The 28th Avenue Red Podcast is an extravagant 160-minute selection of House & Techno goodies from the vast record collection - and very capable hands - of a veteran DJ known as Rubsilent (real name Hamza Solim) from Istanbul, Turkey. A part-time DJ and a full-time vinyl junkie, Rubsilent started collecting records back in 1996 and it has been his obsession ever since. Rubsilent was first bought to our attention with his incredible tribute mix of Chicago's Relief Records (https://soundcloud.com/rubsilent/relief-records-chicago-1994), a juggernaut session that really did justice to the sounds of the label and illustrated how hard-edged and unique this Chicago brand of music was. It is interesting to note that Hamza had actually moved to Chicago for University in year 2000, which he notes was partially motivated by his desire to pay a musical pilgrimage to this enormous factory of house music. He moved back to Istanbul in 2007 with a much advanced record collection and inevitably a better knowledge of the rich musical heritage of the sprawling US megacity that is rarely disputed to be the birthplace of house music. From listening to his Relief mix we had a dig through his other mixes... seemingly a 1-man mix machine delivering music with flowing consistency, intelligent sequencing and unreal selections. We're very used to these types, but even for us this guy is pretty intense. Soak it up in your headphones or on your soundsystem at high volume and enjoy this rare fusion of DJ'ing talent in a truly banging mix! "I enjoy manipulating tracks with longer transitions, taking listeners on long journeys, never limiting my selections to a specific sub-genre. My primary focus is on House and Techno and anything in between, as my mixes contain a blend of new tunes mixed with timeless out-of-print cuts from yesteryear and yesterdecades." Hamza Solim, November 2014. @rubsilent ===== No tracklist was provided for this mix, but do feel free to ask for track ID's in the comments.

Avenue Red Podcast #027 - Alessandro Crimi

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 01 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000

After a salubrious pause in our output, the Avenue Red Podcast resumes forward motion with the second installment in the series from one of our favourite DJ's and producers - Alessandro Crimi. This mix is inspired by the fresh autumnal vibes around his picturesque hometown of St. Gallen in the Swiss Alps, as he delivers a stunning blend of magical, dreamy house music full of blissful melodies, slick, grooving beats and soul-warming basslines. The craftiness of the mixing and well-considered transitions that glue tracks together so seamlessly are a lesson in truly innovative DJ'ing, making for a luxurious listening experience. This 80-minute session neatly follows on from his stylistically similar guest mix on the last Avenue Red Radio Show that we did back in September. Alessandro shows that he is developing a very niche style that allows elements of his strong Dub Techno sensibilities (as a DJ and Producer) to bleed into his own unique vision of true deep house music. We are honoured to have such quality to deliver on the series... enjoy the mix everyone!

Avenue Red Podcast #026 - Andy Vaz

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 09 Sep 2014 00:00:00 +0000

It is amazing really that it has taken the passage of 25 Avenue Red Podcast episodes before we came to present a DJ/Artist from Germany, especially when we consider it's prominence on the underground music map and the colossal amount of quality music the country emits. And here is installment 26 from Cologne-based DJ, producer, label boss and radio show host Andy Vaz. Originally from Düsseldorf where Kraftwerk originated, Andy is the man behind Background Records, a label that since it's incarnation in 1998 became a key conduit of the true Minimal Techno sound with a release catalogue that is steeped in stripped down, dark and undeniably hypnotic techno - often with some more experimental materials in the mix too. Artists such as: Akufen, Sutekh, Jan Jelinek, Todd Sines, Terrence Dixon, Jeff Milligan, Submania, Rhythm Maker, Kit Clayton, Ectomorph, Deadbeat, Baby Ford, Stewart Walker, Donnacha Costello, Geoff White, Smyglyssna, Portable, Frivolous and many others have graced the Background stage. But Andy Vaz was not one to build his career in electronic music in the bounds of a genre-purist, even though Background was in itself a very clinical and defined brand of techno minimalism. Having always had an equal appreciation for house music too, Andy decided to start a second label called A Touch Of Class in 1999 for the housier shades of music that he wanted to purvey, with the first release an absolute classic - Rick Wade's "Deep Threats EP". In march 2007 Andy launched another label called YORE, which is his ongoing label project to focus on the authentic old-skool Detroit & Chicago House sound with original artists such as Chez Damier, Terrence Dixon, Todd Sines, Alton Miller and again Rick Wade featured on this growing platform. Andy is also very versatile as an artist, having released minimal techno works, obscure oddities, straight-up house music, and has released some conceptual works too in the form of his Soundvariation series (recommended!). Andy is actually the man behind the latest YORE record too with his new EP "It's OK" (YRE-031), the lead track from which opens this mix. The release is due soon, but for now you can hear the preview for the whole EP here: https://soundcloud.com/andyvaz/andy-vaz-its-ok-yre-031-12-preview. We decided to invite Andy to the Avenue Red Podcast after hearing him play on his weekly Saturday night House Of Hope radio shows on Motion FM, as we realised what a truly entertaining, varied and colourful selector he is. In this mix Andy has dug through his record collection to pull out a very groovy and uplifting set of NY House, Garage, Chicago Acid and also some nice, deep Disco-tinged House music with a kind of party feel to it. But the set has real depth, showing Andy to be a DJ with a vastness of musical knowledge that, coupled with his proven passion and experience, means he really knows how to "work it" on the decks! Enjoy the mix everyone! "Taking you back like it's '95!"

Avenue Red Podcast #025 - Hydergine

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 30 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The 25th episode of the Avenue Red Podcast series comes from Hydergine (AKA Roberto Corizzo), a Dub Techno producer and esteemed vinyl collector/DJ from Taranto, Italy. His productions are very deep and textural, most notable for having a somewhat futuristic and scientific aesthetic, which is one of the foundational concepts of his work under the Hydergine moniker - as Roberto explains: "The pseudonym is inspired by a smart drug used to improve the metabolism of brain cells and cognitive abilities such as intelligence, learning and memory". His music has been released on a variety of well-respected labels including Separate Skills, Analog Response, Phlox, Ranges and Tiefenrausch. He is now on the cusp of his 7th vinyl release - pre-order available here: http://www.decks.de/t/hydergine-static_frames/c3w-g7 - which is forthcoming on the Dresden, Germany-based label Etui Records. This 80-minute session is yet another in a long list of incredible vinyl-exclusive mixes from Hydergine that give an insight into his amazing record collection, craftily put together to create a genuinely trippy listening experience. Hydergine has given us a real lesson in Dub Techno to get lost in here, as we celebrate a quarter-century of Avenue Red podcast mixes with something truly special.

Avenue Red Podcast #024 - Michael Bustard

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 15 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Stepping up to the decks for the 24th Avenue Red Podcast we have Michael Bustard from Belfast in Northern Ireland - a corner of the UK that seems to have a strong presence of crate-digging, underground-as-you-like DJ's that we have become aware of principally through the online Underlying Form cult that was setup by Darren Allen. Michael is a resident DJ at the Underlying Form parties and everytime we heard his mixes coming through on his Soundcloud page (sometimes B2B with fellow UF resident Thomas Faulkner) we became increasingly aware of his skills on the decks and his immacualtely tasteful and varied collection of records. Like many of the DJ's we invite to record a podcast for Avenue Red, Michael's selections seem to ignore stylistic boundaries and thus expose the artistry of a true "DJ's DJ" who shows inventiveness in his flow and also considerable restraint, as he manages to keep the energy levels steadily maintained while delivering a multiplex of sonical elements that are always underpinned by an insatiable groove. This mix is tight, no doubt about it. We were surprised to find that he has only been collecting records and spinning for the last 4 years - it seems he has come a long way in such a short period of time as a DJ. You can catch Michael playing at the next Underlying Form party in Belfast on Saturday 16th August - details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/524501737651885/ - but if you can't make it... you at least have this timeless vinyl mix that he has delivered here for Avenue Red.

Avenue Red Podcast #023 - Rikki Humphrey

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 08 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0000

For the 23rd Avenue Red Podcast we present Manchester-based DJ Rikki Humphrey, a notorious crate digger and a stylistically diverse DJ who does not identify with genre boundaries when considering his musical selections. His taste for deep, underground House and Techno was founded on listening to old Radio One Essential Mixes and his instinctive ear for unearthing new musical sounds led him to start collecting records, purchase a pair of Technics 1210 mk2 decks and begin mixing. He has never looked back and he is now certifiably a true vinyl junkie. As well as hosting monthly online radio shows on The Underground Sessions and holding down residencies at Nest in Leeds, Studio 89 in Cardiff and Etc in Manchester, Rikki has also supported some of the finest underground DJs around, including the likes of Mike Huckaby, Italojohnson, Jeremy 'Underground Paris', Jay Daniel, Bicep, Maurice Fulton and Hunee. Rikki is also a very hard-working podcaster, dishing out tantalizing selections of wax to a wide range of respected labels including Feel My Bicep, Banoffee Pies, Roots For Bloom, City Fly and many more. Armed with a well-rounded musical exposure, saving to afford production equipment has become a priority for Rikki in recent months in order to capture the sounds and styles of records he has fallen in love with over the years. His aim is: "To create instinctive dance floor jams with a distinct electronic edge, which make your neck snap and your body jack... or to take you off the dancefloor altogether to somewhere completely different". He already has some very high quality tracks released on Hull's Freche Früchte Recordings, Dublin-based label Swink Music and also Danish label Two House Limited. With up-coming releases on a few different UK labels as well as a string of remixes in the pipeline, Rikki is certainly one to keep an eye out for! @slickyrik ===== No tracklist was provided for this mix, but do feel free to ask for track ID's in the comments.

Avenue Red Podcast #022 - 751

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 31 Jul 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The 22nd Avenue Red Podcast comes from Rotterdam-based DJ 751 (real name Jelle Hamstra), a DJ who is younger than his episode number and in this deliciously educational vinyl mix of high-quality old-skool Techno he has delivered a perfectly mixed selection of records that, barring one, were all pressed & released before he even started school. We admire this kind of dedication from DJ's who mine through the veins of electronic musical heritage and dig deep beyond the baize of current music to find their own concept of sound like Jelle has. Clearly he has done his homework and carved out his own niche of sounds, playing a fresh mixture of Techno, Electro and IDM that traces back to way before his time and leads up to the present day. His job working at the Distribution warehouse at the mighty Clone in Rotterdam can only help his cause, being surrounded by various sources of inspiration... and lots of records! Originally from The Hague, the capital city of the province of South Holland, 751 started DJ'ing at the The Hague Sweatshop Skate Park as part of the Sweatshop Soundsystem and quickly gained attention with his unique collection of records and his enthusiastic, passionate way of playing through them. Since then he built up an impressive DJ's CV, earning himself a string of bookings over in the Dutch capital of Amsterdam at Festivals such as Lowlands, Pitch Festival, Off Centre, Dekmantel and also at the famous Trouw nightclub. He has shared the stage with big shots like Derrick May, Steve Rachmad, ROD & Boddika to name a few. But sometimes the best place to listen to pure quality is in your headphones. We hope you enjoy this mix of timeless music from 751 as much as we did! @751 ===== 01 Ray Tracing - Aqueo 73 // Irdial Discs (1991) 02 Open House Featuring Placid Angles - Aquatic // Retroactive (1991) 03 Peel Seamus - First Of June // Delsin (1998) 04 Keith Tucker - Oscillator (Bonus Beats) // Puzzlebox Records (1998) 05 Musicology - Mondrin // B12 (1992) 06 Ismistik - Monospace // Djax-Up-Beats (1993) 07 Kenny Larkin - Aurora // Matrix Records (Detroit) (1993) 08 Stefan Robbers - Masquerade // 100% Pure (1994) 09 Florence - The Vineyard (Peter Ford Remix) // Eevo Lute Muzique (1996) 10 ESP - 6:01 // Synewave (1995) 11 The Connection Machine - Bitflower // Planet E (1994) 12 Abstract Thought - Consequences Of Cloning // Kombination Research (2003) 13 Dan Curtin - Spliffed // Peacefrog Records (1994) 14 Atypic - Blah // Applied Rhythm Technology (ART) (1991) 15 Eon - A Kind Of Living (Minimal Man Remix Part 2) // Vinyl Solution (1994) 16 Tons Of Tones - Oh Ah Oh Ah Oh // Urban Sound Of Amsterdam (1994) 17 Reload - Le Soleil Et La Mer (Black Dog Productions Remix) // Infonet (1993) 18 FUSE - Train Trac (Kaboose) // Warp Records (1993)

Avenue Red Podcast #021 - Brad P

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 22 Jul 2014 00:00:00 +0000

For the 21st Avenue Red Podcast we turn to highly respected and deeply underground DJ/producer/label-boss Brad Peterson who hails from Louisville, US and is now based in the Scotland capital city of Edinburgh. Brad has released music as "Brad P", "Brad Peterson" and "Trackmachine" on labels such as Moods & Grooves, 7th Sign, Inner Shift Music, Minuendo, Yore, Hotmix, AMR, Contrast Wax and Monochromatic to name a few. He has a new label venture called "Common Dreams" and he also co-owns the label "Inner Shift Music" with fellow Edinburgh artist/producer Rai Scott. Together they also produce another project under the moniker "2DeepSoul". Brad has carved out his own niche in the electronic & deep house music scene, both as an independent artist and also with Rai Scott as 2DeepSoul. Individually and together, they have both received huge support from DJ's, labels, writers and fans from all over the world. We feel that this mix delivers a true testament to Brad's skill as a DJ and the deeply considered artistry behind everything he puts his time and soul into. And quite audibly, this guy is not capable of serving up music with half-measures! Here he displays a vibrant style of house music that is saturated with rich musicality and lots of quality instrumentation, often underpinned with warm analogue beats. Brad keeps the mix fresh on the ear at all times, layering his set steadily with lots of variety and unexpected elements - a curious mixture of techy and organic sounds, laced with soul, groove and engaging melodies. A few of his own tracks are featured on this mix, including the gloriously deep "Ice Planets" on his Inner Shift Music label. We've had our hands on this mix for a few weeks already and have absolutely nailed it on heavy repeat. This is highly addictive house music from a man highly addicted to house music in all it's various forms. NOTE :: Brad has explicitly requested that we provide certain links to the currently active labels he has supported in this mix - you will see these highlighted in the tracklist and they are clickable hyperlinks to label pages on Juno and Betaport etc. Feel obliged to click them and buy some of this great music for your collection too! :) RA profile: http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/bradpeterson-fr Like his facebook artist profile: https://www.facebook.com/BradPmusicpage Friend request him: https://www.facebook.com/bradpmusic For bookings: bookings@innershiftmusic.com @bpeterson @innershiftmusic @common-dreams ===== 01 Marc Cotterell - Jazid // Plastik People (2014) 02 Cassio Ware - It's Gonna Be Alright (Instrumental) // Wake Up!

Avenue Red Podcast #020 - Esther Duijn

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Mon, 14 Jul 2014 00:00:00 +0000

As we hit episode 20 of the Avenue Red Podcast series we welcome a veteran of Deep House & Techno, Esther Duijn from Amsterdam, Holland. Esther has been busy with her musical mission from a young age and has honed in on her own distinctive style of House & Techno with lots of groove and atmosphere with distinct dubby overtones, sometimes skirting along the fringes of the true Dub Techno sound. As a solo artist and also together with her partner Steady Douglas under their Duijn&Douglas moniker, Esther has 18 vinyl releases to her name across a range of solid labels including Earth Tones, Exquisite Music, Soul People Music, Feelharmonic Records and Housewax to name a few. Esther is a resident DJ at Sisyphos, Berlin, co-organiser of Donker at Club Up in Amsterdam and also hosts a Berlin night called Another Earth that has had the likes of Moritz von Oswald, Anton Zap and Tom Ellis as guests. Panorama Bar, Zur Wilden Renate, Wanted! (clubs in Berlin); Berns, Kruthuset (clubs in Stockholm); Studio 80, Trouw (clubs in Amsterdam) are a few of the other more noteworthy nightspots to have embraced her sound to date. She is also playing at Freerotation Festival (England) and Tomorrowland Festival (Belgium) this summer, so make sure you catch her playing if you're lucky enough to make it to either of these events! This mix is just over an hours-worth of Esther doing what she does best - ripping through a bunch of dancefloor-friendly house and techno records and keeping things interesting, atmospheric, deep, raw and never loosing her focus on the groove. Enjoy the mix! @esther-duijn ===== No tracklist was provided for this mix, but do feel free to ask for track ID's in the comments.

Avenue Red Podcast #019 - Ben Boe

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 05 Jul 2014 00:00:00 +0000

This summer-fresh installment of the Avenue Red Podcast series comes from London-based DJ, producer and label-owner Ben Parkinson, AKA Ben Boe to those in the Knoe! His Boe Recordings label has gathered some seriously high-grade moss since it's inception back in 2008 with a juggernaught discography of releases from heavy-hitters and underground talents including Burnski; KiNK; Leif; Iron Curtis; Kris Wadsworth and Nick Lawson to select a few. There is a new release coming from Anaxander on 11th August on limited 12" vinyl called Travelogues EP, which also features a remix from Ben himself. We advise keeping a diary entry for that! Last year Ben also opened a secondary tube line with a sub-label called For Those That Knoe - in Ben's own words... "For Those That Knoe is a House and Techno label from the UK focusing on under the radar tracks recorded by unsung heroes, ripped from dusty DATs and lovingly re-mastered and pressed onto vinyl for like-minded people and music collectors alike". Just the kind of project that Avenue Red has got full support for. You can catch Ben playing at the intimate and rather intriguing Field Maneuvers festival at the end of August that is held "in a beautiful riverside location 60 minutes outside of London" (unspecified). But as a precursor to that, dive into this mix from the man himself. An all-vinyl mix that is a diverse and nutritious stew of house, techno and electro that will leave even the most hungry and connoisseur-like music heads out there feeling fulfilled and coming back for seconds and thirds, no doubt! Enjoy the mix people, we certainly did. @boerecordings ===== No tracklist was provided for this mix, but do feel free to ask for track ID's in the comments.

London-based vinyl DJ Emma Champion spins us 16 records, 10+ years old with a fine selection of House and Garage from a golden era. This mix really captures the kinds of House/Garage hybrid sounds that were burning away nicely in the 90's, an area of music that Emma has totally nailed and she has made it a mission to track down all the music that was so influential and exciting for her during those years as a garage raver in London. Emma asked us to keep this write-up brief but we will finally say that you can catch her spinning her niche wax selection on her weekly Friday night radio show, which is broadcast live from 22:00 till 00:00 on VisionRadioUK.com - enjoy the mix and do check out her shows, they are awesome! twitter.com/DJEmmaChampion @djemmachampion ===== 01 One On One - Pour Amour (Caffeine Mix) // Esoteric (1994) 02 Keisha Jenkins - Goin' Through The Motions (Motion Mix) // Street Style (1993) 03 Jazz-N-Groove pres.

Avenue Red Podcast #017 - Profet

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 13 Jun 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Moving on from the last fine installment of the Avenue Red Podcast by Exos in Reykjavik, Iceland, we travel to another capital city in the opposite corner of Europe for this new addition. For number 017, we have a very interesting mixture of Detroit-tinged deep house records from a DJ from Bucharest, Romania who goes by the name of Profet. We first noticed Profet from a recent promo mix he put out for his Bucharest-based agency Sonus Discis, and we know quality when we hear it. With a confident swagger through distinctly jazzy and techy swathes of house music with a rich musicality, Profet has a really unique way of smoothly shifting through the gears and gets a really good eclectic vibe going in his sets. This mix for Avenue Red is no exception. He plays regularly at prolific gigs in the Romanian capital, most notably for the Chameleon parties for which he is a resident at the prestigious Control club. He has played alongside some world-renowned underground DJ's including: Even Tuell; Scott Grooves; Marcellus Pittman; Hakim Murphy; John Heckle and FUNKINEVEN to name a few. Also worth noting - Profet along with his friend and Chameleon co-resident Luger have busily amalgamated a hardware-only setup and are staring down the barrels of production work too, so this is yet another staple in the burgeoning Romanian music scene to look out for! We are very pleased to have his contribution to our series as here he demonstrates a really unique and fresh approach to constructing a story with pure wax. "A selection of special, beloved tracks that I love to play. I don't think in terms of 'house' or 'techno'... I just think the only criteria should be 'good music!'" Profet, June 2014 @profet @sonusdiscis @chameleonparties ===== 01 The Persuader - Stureplan // Svek (1997) 02 Rick Wilhite - Good Kiss (Ron Trent Mix) // KDJ (1999) 03 Roy Davis Jr. - People Think I'm Crazy // Cajual (1996) 04 Slikk Tim - I Became // MLIU (2011) 05 Rick Wilhite & Kenny Dixon Jr. - Bosmos // Still Music (2012) 06 CVO - The Wilderness // Balance (1996) 07 John Tejada - Significant Numbers // 7th City (2000) 08 Killer Loop - Someone (Juan Atkins Remix) // End (1996) 09 Zenker Brothers - Davin // Tresor (2013) 10 Villa Åbo - Ruff Swing // Bio Rhythm (2014) 11 Kassem Mosse – Ways // Workshop (2014) 12 Dopeus - Warpin' // Third Ear (2013) 13 Claro Intelecto - Hunters Rocket To The Sky // Modern Love (2005) 14 Jori Hulkkonen - Groove Shelter // F Communications (1997) 15 St. Germain - Easy To Remember... // F Communications (1995)

Avenue Red Podcast #016 - Exos

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 16 May 2014 00:00:00 +0000

16 isn't a particularly special number. But this is a particularly special installment! From Reykjavik, Iceland - the world's northernmost capital dubbed as "The Worlds Biggest Little Metropolis" as the city holds two thirds of the Icelandic population - we present Exos (real name Arnviður Snorrason), a unique and creative techno innovator who has become well-known for his uber-quality releases on respected labels such as Force Inc. Music Works, Mosaic, Symbolism and also Thule Records, a cult-status Icelandic techno label that has been recently reincarnated under a new name, Strobelight Network. This 75-minute vinyl mix is the product of a great deal of care and attention. As per usual we asked Exos to dig deep in his collection to come up with something truly special and what we have here is a treasure trove of techno gems and lost oddities that are deep, dubby, blissful, melodic, bold, strange and at times completely "far-out" (Iceland style!). We are pleased that he has paid some homage to the music that has originated from his Icelandic peers as we have records here from his friends Yagya (Aðalsteinn Guðmundsson), Thor (Þórhallur Skúlason) and also his father who is known as Octal (Snorri Arnarson). As we were digging through the submitted tracklist to normalise it to our usual format and resolution of detail, we realised that the collective value of all these records is in the region of £1000+ on current discogs prices. But musically, end-product-wise, this mix is much greater than the sum of it's parts thanks to the wizardry of Exos on the decks and we are glad to deliver something priceless that you can download for free. These incredible records... they are in good hands already. "In my life, I am experiencing a touch of timeless awareness. The time is speeding up, I am confusing time and there is something happening to the "Now" as I understand it. That is something that I try to explain in this mix. Music from different directions from here to there. It's also a Spring-time soundtrack for my favorite time of the year when April, May and June hits their magic with sunshine, lollipops and rainbows. The highlight in my life is my unborn nephew who will come to light in 2 weeks. Happy summer to all of you."

Avenue Red Podcast #015 - Chris Boardman

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 10 May 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The 15th Avenue Red Podcast comes from Chris Boardman, a Nottingham-based DJ who has caught our attention recently with his new residency at Dudley Strangeways & Michael McLardy's Leftback record label parties. After an eye-opening trip to Back To Basics in Leeds as a youngster in the year 2000, Chris got hooked on proper House and Techno music and later began DJ'ing in 2007 and developed his own unique style of deep, brooding, groove-laden techno. Chris regularly plays gigs around his hometown of Nottingham and the nearby city of Derby and has gigs upcoming at Strawberry Fields Festival in Leicestershire and one in Greece later this year too. "This mix shows my love for deep and dubby techno, very much like the Romanian techno sound" Chris Boardman, May 2014 Leftback Records :: http://leftbackrecords.co.uk/ @chris-boardman @leftbackrecords ===== 01 Steve O'Sullivan - Diminishing Returns (Bluetrain Special Edition Dub) // Sushitech (2013) 02 Anomaly - Dark Room // Soul People Music (2014) 03 Salz - Orange Whip // Telrae (2012) 04 Hydergine - Augmented Reality // Separate Skills (2011) 05 Yate - Topography // Body Parts (2014) 06 Cntrl - Bass Drop // Pleasure Zone (2013) 07 Yaya & Jun Akimoto - See Sense // Kiara (2013) 08 Michael McLardy - Subway Street // Leftback (2014) 09 East End Dubs - Argo // Metroline (2013) 10 Bollen & Fichtner - Summer Of 96 // Low To High (2013) 11 Vid - Partita Ab // Pleasure Zone (2012) 12 Dudley Strangeways - Yer You Know It // Leftback (2014)

Avenue Red Podcast #014 - Pawel Kobak

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 22 Apr 2014 00:00:00 +0000

For the 14th Avenue Red Podcast we have a 72-minute vinyl mix from Pawel Kobak: an accomplished pianist; flutist; guitarist; DJ; producer and the owner of the record label Route 33, which was nominated for a Swedish Grammy award in 2000 and 2001. Pawel started as a musician, DJ and club promotor in his hometown of Stockholm, Sweden in the early 1990's and had his first record released in 1995 on Fluid Records. He then went on to make releases on some good labels such as i! Records, Lace, Metamorphic, Deeplay, Tricircle and Manuscript. He then spent some years in Paris, London and then Barcelona on a mission DJ'ing and promoting Swedish house music and artists. From his first release to the present day his style has remained consistent: a distinctive and unique blend of grooving House with soulful elements meshed in with deep, techy ingredients. His disparate range of disciplines and influences bleed into his music nicely, it seems. This mix is Pawel's first podcast mix - we contacted him and asked for a raw vinyl mix with plenty of material "from the archives" and that is exactly what we got. Note that track 5 is one of Pawel's older tracks under his City Dreams alias with Fredrik Stark. There is some newer material on this mix too from Stockholm-based Romb records, a project run by Pawel's friend that he is now releasing his music on - the mix includes one of his more recent tracks "Got Me Burning" on the Romb label, which was his first vinyl release in several years. Pawel has plenty of new releases to come later in 2014 including more on Romb and a remix for Finest Blend Records. Keep a look out! @pawelkobak @romb-records ===== 01 Ciudad Feliz - For My New Friends // Silver Network (2001) 02 Weekender - Channel Check // Toko (1999) 03 Mike Delgado - My Anthem (Bay Ridge Style) // TNT (1995) 04 DJ Rasoul - Swing It // Camouflage (2003) 05 City Dreams - Got To Know (Take 1) // Metamorphic (2001) 06 JoVonn - Jessie's Speech // Next Moov Traxx (1999) 07 Moodyman - Me And My Peoples Eyes (Instrumental) // Peacefrog (2000) 08 Patrick Richard - Framed View // Romb (2013) 09 Spiro Projecto - A Golden Tribe // Wrong Steps (1999) 10 Patrick Richard - Fogdance // Romb (2013) 11 Calico - Blue Skies // Audio Beyond (2002) 12 Pawel Kobak - Got Me Burning // Romb (2012) 13 Brothers Vibe - Smooth Ride // SOM Underground (2000) 14 Weekender - Spirit In Your Soul (Toasted Mix) // Toko (1999) 15 Microman - Floating Samba // Ahab (1999) 16 Betamax Crew And Henrik B - No Ält (Henrik B Edit) // Urban Electro Squad (2001)

Avenue Red Podcast #013 - Conrad

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The unluckily numbered Avenue Red Podcast is a heads-down session of modernist Tech House & Techno from Grimsby-based Connor Hall AKA Conrad. Having started DJ'ing 3 years ago, Connor has become heavily engrossed in his musical passion and alongside his vinyl-junkie-ism he has made strides in the world of producing music too, having put out a debut release on Bosnia & Herzegovina-based @gentlemen-lounge-records, and he has another due out soon on Kadinsky Records too. He plays at various gigs around his hometown alongside Carl Hardy and has played at numerous spots around Sheffield and is steadily working up his profile as a DJ. He sent us this mix over and we instantly took a shine to his steady workflow through sequences of groove-laden trippy music that strongly leans towards the Fear Of Flying label sound - to us, this can only be a very good thing! Check out this heady mix from a name to watch out for! @gallopandsound ===== 01 Dilated Pupils - Take Care // Fear Of Flying (2014) 02 Matthew Burton & Kate Rathod - 8 Minute Abs // Fear Of Flying (2014) 03 The White Man & The Arab - Acid // The White Man & The Arab (2013) 04 Ben Buitendijk - Promised Land // Mosaic (2013) 05 Mandar - Naughty Mandar // Lazare Hoche (2014) 06 Matthew Burton & Kate Rathod - Raw Moves // Fear Of Flying (2014) 07 BFZ (aka Baby Ford & Zip) - Uff (Original) // Trelik (2013) 08 Mari Kvien Brunvoll – Everywhere You Go (Villalobos' Amnesia Rehabilitation Dub) // Sei Es Drum (2013) 09 Bobby O'Donnell - Odds & Evens // Catch (2014) 10 Nick Lawson - The View From Baskerville (2013) // Boe (2014) 11 BLM - Down To The Shake // Saints & Sonnets (2014) 12 The White Man & The Arab - Thinking Of You // The White Man & The Arab (2013) 13 Nimbus Quartet - Your House Is Yours Parts II & III Simultaneously // Lazare Hoche (2013)

Avenue Red 1210 Mk3 - Dieter Mit Platten

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 23 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The third episode of the Avenue Red 1210 series is another 12 records, 10+ years old from another uber-vinyl-junkie DJ. This time we have one of our very favourite underground selectors out there, Dieter Mit Platten from Vienna, Austria - a notorious crate digger since year 2000 with the utmost taste in all shades of house and techno music. Dieter is a member of the Funkroom collective and DJ's at some of the finest parties in Vienna, most notably the monthly Window Shopping nights at Club Auslage where he has played alongside some prestigious names including Eli Verveine and Julietta. We want to highlight his ability to flow through house records with an impulsive fluency and zest by making specific reference to his "All Night Long" mix, released last year: https://soundcloud.com/dietermitplatten/all-night-long - 5 hours of premium quality house music. Dieter has put a lot of time and consideration into this mix, having dug deep through his vast collection (pictured in the artwork for this podcast) to create a delightful journey through an hour of old gems and lost oddities. It's been beautifully crafted and is a seriously essential download for repeat listening. As far as we are concerned, this is pretty much as good as it gets. @dietermitplatten @funkroom ===== 01 Chris Korda - May Queen // International Deejay Gigolo (2002) 02 Brett Dancer & Carlos Sanchez - Reunion // Track Mode (1999) 03 Gemini - Ca // Tinted (1999) 04 The Persuader - Mosebacke // Svek (1998) 05 Chris Energy - Untitled Track (Version 2) // Track Mode (1999) 06 Nick Holder - Untitled // Aquarius (1998) 07 Moodymann – Long Hot Sex Nights // KDJ (1995) 08 Kings Of Tomorrow - Gwiz Theory // Blackwiz (1994) 09 Brian Harden - Stop The Music // Connection (1999) 10 Jaime Read - What If? // Fragmented (1998) 11 Juan Atkins - Urban Tropics // Underground Level (1991) 12 Cab Drivers - Cablife // Seasons Limited (2000)

Avenue Red Podcast #012 - Roberto Vitrani

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 15 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The 12th instalment of the Avenue Red Podcast comes from Roberto Vitrani, a 40 year-old veteran DJ and long-time record collector from the coastal town of Manfredonia in the South-Eastern region of Italy. Roberto plays at his own events in various intimate and cosy surroundings in bars and small clubs in his hometown. Roberto was previously unknown to us but we noticed him popping up in the comments of our previous episodes and checked out a mix he had recently uploaded - we asked him to dig through his records, record us a mix and send the wav over. What we have is a one-take session of Roberto playing from his impulses to create a nice set of grooving techy house and some tougher-edged techno records that all glow with character and rhythmic energy. We think it's a really nice trip, one that is best appreciated in one sitting - if you skip through you'll miss the flow, which is very expertly crafted in this mix. **Download button!** "I have been collecting records since 1988. My main passion in life is for vinyl and house and techno music in general, especially deeper material. In recent years, I prefer to play my discs in disco bars, intimate bars and smaller venues where the feeling with the music is real strong."

Avenue Red Podcast #011 - Jordan Magee

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Following on from a veteran in the previous episode, we now have a fresh-faced youngster pushing the wax for the 11th Avenue Red Podcast. From Derry, Northern Ireland we introduce 20 year-old Jordan Magee, a passionate DJ/vinyl collector who has played for various events in the UK & Ireland with his name sharing flyers with some very prominent DJ's including: Prosumer; Âme; Metro Area; Domenic Cappello; Gavin Herlihy and Move D among others. Also busy cutting his teeth as a producer, Jordan heads to Leeds in September to do the final year of his Music Tech course. Also keeping him busy is the Harmonic Motion project that he runs with some friends, which is a music blog and event based in Derry that kicks off on 15th March with guests Michael Bustard and Thomas Faulkner. Jordan plans for it to be developed further in Leeds, where there is of course a much broader scope for the project to gain momentum and attract larger audiences. We love this mix, a tasteful selection of music that is deep, intricate, edgy, techy. A nice warm groove is sustained throughout the session and we love how it was recorded too... "I was mixing for over 3 hours and hit record to capture a 65 minute snippet of it. I caught my flow nicely! The mixing is genuine and not always completely perfect but that's the beauty of mixing with vinyl in my opinion and it gives a true representation of me as a DJ."

Avenue Red Podcast #010 - Owen Jay

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Thu, 13 Feb 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The Avenue Red Podcast reaches double figures with an instalment from Malta-based DJ, Producer and label boss Owen Jay. His Batti Batti imprint began as a digital label in 2009 with a dozen releases before it developed into a vinyl label in 2012. It's a project he has built from the ground up and the quality of output has been exceptional from the start, pushing a discerning style of house music full of groove and melody and a strong penchant for warm analogue sounds. As a producer, Owen has EP's out on a range of labels including Underground Quality, Minuendo and Moods & Grooves as well as his own label. As a DJ he has played all over the shop and has gigs upcoming at Panorama Bar in Berlin for an Underground Quality label party (28-02-2014) and also at Siroco in Madrid (21-03-2014). This mix sums up exactly how he works it on the 1's and 2's. Take a listen!

Avenue Red Podcast #009 - Ennony

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Tue, 04 Feb 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The 9th episode of the Avenue Red Podcast is an all-vinyl mix that comes from someone previously unknown to us - a local underground vinyl junkie, Techno DJ and producer from the city of Lyon in France who goes by the name Ennony. We liked the deep, turbulent, tunnel-like techno vibes on this mix he sent our way - something we could really get lost in. So here it is. "Man in the shadows with a light musicality, Ennony reveals an intense sensitivity to emotion, combining discretion and violence. Whether with his turntables or machines, he brings the audience along the winding path of truth."

Avenue Red Podcast #008 - Carl_H

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The 8th episode of the Avenue Red Podcast comes from UK underground hero Carl_H (real name Carl Hardy) from Cleethorpes in the lower North East of England (though officially classed as "somewhere down South" to the folk from up here in Newcastle). Along with musical cohort Brendan Clark, Carl runs and is resident at a London-based Deep House night called Northern Purpose, which alongside its own highly respected podcast series of the same name has a stunning roster of past guests including Daniel Bell, Mike Huckaby, Dubbyman and Jane Fitz. You get the idea! Carl also co-runs and spins records at Collective Minds in Birmingham, yet another name clearly established on the map of the UK underground music scene having had 2 big events last year that drew a lot of attention with their dazzlingly good line-ups. When we received this stunning all-vinyl mix we couldn't identify a single track. That was a first. Anyway, in his's own words... "The mix is basically a builder so you get a bit of everything from deep dub / house / techno / minimal / electronic. A lot of nice new records in there and also some old gems (in my eyes)." Carl Hardy, January 2014 Northern Purpose :: http://northernpurpose.com https://soundcloud.com/carl-haop https://soundcloud.com/northernpurpose ===== No tracklist was provided for this mix, but do feel free to ask for track ID's in the comments.

Avenue Red Podcast #007 - Gavin Marks

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 19 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red podcast 007 is an all-vinyl mix of deep dubby techno from Gavin Marks who runs the Chicago-based MOSHItaka label, which has just had its first vinyl release in 2013 with the sublimely accomplished Road To River EP from Moscow dub techno artist Doyeq. MOSHItaka is also a well established podcast with the MOSHImix series, which has featured the talents of well-respected names in the dub techno/deep techno scene including Martin Schulte, Anton Kubikov, Alessandro Crimi (who did our previous episode - https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-006-alessandro-crimi) and Sven Laux, to name a few. A series that has got our attention for sure! We were very pleased that in amongst this fresh selection Gavin included some very special older tracks too, with Bvdub's blissfully ambient "Wish I Was Here" from 2008 flowing into "Floatation Verb" by Sven Weisemann, which was originally released on Smallfish in 2008 also. You can never go wrong with the inclusion of a Rhythm & Sound track either - timeless, just the way we like it! https://soundcloud.com/gavin_marks https://soundcloud.com/moshitaka ===== 01 Unknown Artist - Toolwaxx 01 (B1) // Toolwaxx (2013) 02 Tomas Rubeck - Plec // Kina Music (2013) 03 Neurotron - Neurotron 005 (A1) // Neurotron (2013) 04 Recondite - Waldluft // Trolldans (2013) 05 Anton Kubikov - Chords // Pro-Tez (2013) 06 Leif - NDE // Sudden Drop (2013) 07 Bvdub - Wish I Was Here // Millions Of Moments (2008) 08 Sven Weisemann - Floatation Verb // Mojuba (2013) 09 Van Bonn - Baumgartner // Telrae (2013) 10 Rhythm & Sound - Never Tell You (w/ Tikiman) // Burial Mix (1996) 11 Ion Ludwig - Ten Canoes // Eklo (2013) 12 Francis Harris - Picture Us // Scissor And Thread (2012)

Avenue Red Podcast #006 - Alessandro Crimi

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Fri, 13 Dec 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Get ready for some serious DEEPNESS. Based in the city of St. Gallen, high up amid the Alps of eastern Switzerland, Austrian-born Alessandro Crimi delivers a 1-hour transmission of the kind of techno you'd imagine more likely to have eminated from somewhere in the depths of the Mariana Trench in an all-vinyl mix of exquisite taste. With his distinctive sound of dub-infused house and techno that is rich in spacey pads, echoey chords, sinuous melodic structures and discerning beats, he is often found skirting along the territorial borders of quintessential Dub Techno stylings. Alessandro has made a name for himself with his strong productions and remixes and also his gigs at prestigious venues including: Harry Klein Club in Munich; Club Home in Amsterdam; Rohstofflager in Zurich and Macarena Club in Barcelona, to name a few. He is hailed as a true specialist for playing warm-up sets, which requires a delicate touch and a good mind for developing a pathway through records to build the energy levels steadily. Last year Alessandro set up vinyl label Waehlscheibe, that along with the help of his friends he has now driven to the cusp of it's 4th release - we have heard the samples and are sure it will make some big waves! If you enjoy this selection then please do check out his history of releases and mixes... you will find a consistent dedication to quality, deepness, dubbiness, warmth and melody in his music. We tend not to ask for much more. Hope you dig it!

Avenue Red 1210 Mk2 - Graham Pitt

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 11 Dec 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The second Avenue Red 1210 episode comes from Nottingham-based DJ and general house music purveyor Graham Pitt, who has been a vinyl junkie for over 20 years and now runs online music blog Dream Drums. We noticed that he is responsible for a steady stream of online output with his own high-quality selections and some interesting underground guests featured. Graham has his own Dream Drums show every Sunday at 15:00 (GMT) on www.deepvibes.co.uk and is also a resident at Hull-meets-Chicago house label Freche Früchte for their mixshows on Deepvibes Radio and SceenFM. The mix is saturated in deep, percussive, jacking 90's house flavour from a list of artists and labels who always struggled to disappoint. We even have a twist of deep acid from Bobby Konders, a nice 'n' spacey disco-tinged groove in the form of a Faze Action dub of D*Note and also a rare, swinging deep 4/4 oddity from a Musique Tropique reinterpretation of Two Lone Swordsmen. Nagual's "Feel The Rhythm" on Prescription is an absolute killer tune that may remind you of a better known version by Ron Trent that was later released on the label on an EP titled "The Nature Of Retribution". A very expensive record these days that is in dire need of a repress we feel. Another thing... can anyone ID the 11th track with the "Is it sex or is it love?" vocal sample? Graham believes it may be a Lil Louis release but we have been unable to verify this. Drop a comment with the details if you know the ID! Enjoy the mix, and please follow us and share it on!

Avenue Red Podcast #005 - Red D

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Mon, 02 Dec 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The fifth instalment of the vinyl-only Avenue Red Podcast series comes from Belgian vinyl-junkie, veteran DJ and label owner Bart Van Neste, better known to most people as Red D, whose stunning RA podcast released 2 years ago is still very fresh in our mind. He set up his We Play House imprint in 2008, initially to release the music of fellow Belgian https://soundcloud.com/san-soda, who was at the time a relatively unknown young talent, and from there it has developed into a very successful house label, purveying some quality records from the likes of Reggie Dokes, Maxim Lany, Russ Gabriel, Dynamodyse, Raoul Lambert, James Teej and many more. This selection from Red D is very much a colourful mixture of varied house music, full of sweetly melodic moments, warm basslines, depth, soul and delicious beats 'n' grooves... exactly the kind of music that Avenue Red embraces. We hope you love it as much as we do! https://soundcloud.com/red-d https://soundcloud.com/we-play-house-recordings ===== 01 Tythe - Let The Dance End // Sunday Best (2013) 02 Matti Turunen - Fall (feat.

Avenue Red Podcast #004 - DJ Nav

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sat, 05 Oct 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Avenue Red Podcast 004 is a one-take vinyl-exclusive mix from DJ Nav (real name Naveen Rajan), a burgeoning and highly adept DJ/Producer from Washington DC. He caught our ear with his unique blend of raw 90's-influenced house music, which is at times rugged, other times smooth and sublime... but always high in quality and taste. With upcoming bookings in his hometown of Washington DC and also Brooklyn, Nav has pressings out on The Love Revolution (NYC) and https://soundcloud.com/hands-off-recordings (Denmark) with his release being the follow-up to an excellent Rick Wade EP. Also in the pipeline he has releases coming out on https://soundcloud.com/madefreshdaily (Scotland), https://soundcloud.com/silenceinmetropolis (Washington DC) and is on remix duty for a forthcoming Golf Clap EP on https://soundcloud.com/294records (Brazil), with Scott Diaz doing the other remix.

Avenue Red Podcast #003 - Dudley Strangeways B2B Michael McLardy

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Sun, 22 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The third instalment of the Avenue Red podcast is a 3 hour-long back-to-back session from Nottingham duo Dudley Strangeways and Michael McLardy, two established stalwarts of the UK deep house/tech house circuit. Both are prolific producers and remixers as well as DJ's, both with a tall release history steeped in quality on heavyweight labels such as Back To You, Klasse, HOLIC TRAX, Resopal Schallware and Black Key among many others. This year Michael launched his own imprint, Left Wing, as a platform to push his own vision of deep electronic music with a strong focus on house & techno forms. Also to be launched in January next year is a vinyl-only label called Leftback, which will be used exclusively as a vehicle for the duos own productions. We think this live, one-take, vinyl-only recording is a real monster selection and well worth a solid 3 hours of your time if house & techno music is in your veins. Lock yourself in a quiet room and take a heavy hit of the good stuff! https://soundcloud.com/dudley-strangeways https://soundcloud.com/michael-mclardy https://soundcloud.com/leftwingrecordings https://soundcloud.com/leftbackrecords ===== No tracklist for this mix, but feel free to add a timed comment to request a specific track ID.

Avenue Red Podcast 002 continues the theme of strictly vinyl-only DJ sets from the underground world of house and techno. Newcastle-based DJ Alec Pritchard delivers 1 hour 15 of deep, trippy groove-laden records with his usual sway across different periods in time, playing from the front of the crate to the back. Age is not a factor with music that is truly timeless. This mix is as Alec describes "A patchwork quilt of 4/4 headphone candy for the mind, body and soul - not strictly a dancefloor thing, but is full of grooves and rhythmic energy, but also melody and deeper elements!".

Avenue Red Podcast 001 is a vinyl-exclusive set from Middlesbrough DJ/Producer Mark Graham, co-owner of the Contrast-Wax record label, which is building up a good reputation as a purveyor of pure-filtered, refined techy house music with its ruthlessly uncompromising policy of 100 limited vinyl per release - hand-stamped, hand-numbered and with no repress.

Avenue Red 1210 Mk1 - Alec Pritchard

avenueredrecordings@gmail.com (Alec Pritchard) — Wed, 17 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000

@alecpritchard brings the first installment of a new series of Avenue Red "1210" podcasts, named after the famed but sadly discontinued DJ weapon of choice - Technics 1210 turntables. With a focus on DJ'ing from the surface of vinyl, the concept is that 12 records are played with every record being at least 10 years old, uprooting some forgotten and unheard sounds from the expansive world of house and techno music. For this opening episode, Alec pays homage to his deep house roots with a murky and mysterious brew of house records from around the globe. Château Flight's clear-acetate pressing of "Prism" twinkles and shimmers with twee percussion and chords before Ladyvipb (AKA Maurice Fulton) touches down with a deep, shimmering Nu Disco track with odd-yet-interesting production. Slow, deep house rhythms simmer in the mix and Natureboy's track keeps it raw, soulful and original with a cut from an early-days 7-track EP from 1993, produced by the man now known as DJ Nature. San Francisco house boss DJ Rasoul (AKA Guy Nado) reminds us of his darker, groovier elements before leading us into a bumpty lost-and-found track from Nottingham stalwart Nail (one half of Bent). DJ D's balmy summer vibes glow like embers over scattered African drums until Vancouver tech house legend Jay Tripwire tips up with the "Deep Rumbler". A few maverick tracks rub together to bring the mix to a melodic and colourful end.
