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!! đ 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!

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!" Tim Ohta, April 2025 https://soundcloud.com/tim_ohtas-vinyl-treasury
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 HĂ€nninen 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!"

Ruslan Huzaev & Artyom Savitsky AKA Glik & Arts, a duo from Moscow and Minsk respectively, are back for their second mix on the Avenue Red Podcast.

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 đ If you have time please check it out my friend đ 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 đ 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?

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
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. Let's explore. https://soundcloud.com/alessandro_crimi https://soundcloud.com/waehlscheibe See Also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-202-alessandro-crimi https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-185-alessandro-crimi 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 Photo taken by Alec Pritchard somewhere over Switzerland đšđ
Avenue Red ushers in another new year's feast of deepness with a fresh debut mix from AdriĂ Duch - an artist, DJ & producer based in Barcelona. AdriĂ 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, AdriĂ 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." AdriĂ Duch, January 2025 https://soundcloud.com/adriaduch
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 đđ» 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 welcomes the second coming of the Athens-based Greek dub techno philosopher, DJ & artist known to those who know as Substak. Kostas Staikos, to those who do not. Here he administers another dose of his trademark wild interplanetary deepness that is sure to enamour the ears of those who see the world in a red tint, precisely 1,992 days after the last transmission. "I was born in Athens and began producing in 2011 to escape a bit from real life. Till today I have released on various labels and this journey will continue.

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 PuigbĂł, 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 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..."

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 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! đđđ "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."

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."

Enter KaÌri Guðmundsson AKA Hidden People. Another Avenue Red debut mix, another Ăslendingar (Icelander) to follow the 6 previous fellow cold-worlders we have featured (Exos, OHM, COLD, Octal Industries, Waage, AÌlfbeat). 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 MĂłatĂșn 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! ;)" KaÌri 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.

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 â not to mention the ridiculously silky, imperceptible transitions â 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 â 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 â a gesture every music head recognises â 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."

Rugon is back once again! The madman from Zandvoort, a coastal town west of Amsterdam that is home to the nation's Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix, returns for his fourth swing of the bat for Avenue Red. In this third and final part of this 3-piece episode 230, Rugon continues to explore more of his trademark bone-crunching, thuggish, wacked-out, loopy, trippy 4/4 business.

Avenue Red welcomes another newcomer to the series, enter Francesco Tamburrano, a deep/dub techno DJ, artist & producer from Venice, Italy. 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. Enjoy this lovingly-crafted deep mix and cheers to all the Avenue Red crew!" Dan Rodgers, April 2024 https://soundcloud.com/1-dan
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."

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/user-916038456
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!"

Avenue Red continues the 10th anniversary celebrations with the second coming of collector and selector Cenk Akyol from Istanbul, TĂŒrkiye. This is a masterclass set of finest deep house & techno from his vast and mysterious collection of records. "In music and dance, I express myself as a member of a higher community. Avenue Red, known for saving the web from music pollution, not only with high-quality underground dance music but also with the good mixing skills of each contributor, helps me feel like one. Occasionally, I enthusiastically contribute to the series with nothing but good (soulful) records I own."

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!"

Lempuyang label boss and all-round top chap Alastair Kelly is back to assist in the 10 years of Avenue Red celebrations with his 3rd contribution to the platform. Another fine studio mix has been crafted for us on his native Isle of Wight in the south of England, this time a shiny and nostalgic deep house mix from the archives of his vast and very refined record collection. "Lempuyang's lemur whisperer returns with a soundtrack for this glorious Indian summer. Get yourself a cold beer and a supernoodle sandwich to accompany. Bang up your boulevard, and without even buying you dinner first."

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. "We got to play some of our favourite records in one of our favourite venues."

MillÀ tavalla tuleva hallitus voisi tiukentaa humanitÀÀristÀ maahanmuuttoa? Haastattelussa SisÀministeriön maahanmuutto-osaston pÀÀllikkö Minna Hulkkonen ja humanitaaristÀ maahanmuuttoa tutkinut Erna Bodström Helsingin yliopistosta. Hallitusneuvotteluja johtava kokoomus ja hallitusneuvotteluissa toiseksi suurin puolue perussuomalaiset ovat ennen vaaleja vaatineet tiukennuksia maahanmuuttoon. Perussuomalaiset haluaisi lopettaa humanitÀÀrisen maahanmuuton kokonaan. Hulkkonen ja Bodström muistuttavat, ettÀ Suomea sitoo kansainvÀliset sopimukset, ja Suomen hallitus neuvottelee maahanmuuttolinjoista osana EU:ta. Suomen hallitus ei voi yksin sanella, miten EU tai YK linjaa pakolaisuuteen liittyvistÀ sopimuksista. Toimittajana on Linda Pelkonen.
