Avenue Red Podcast #266 - Owen Jay

Avenue Red is proud to present the second mix on the series from one of Malta's finest exports in underground house and techno music... DJ, producer and Batti Batti label boss Owen Jay returns after a cavernous 12-year hiatus since he recorded episode #010 for the main podcast series back in February 2014. A lot has changed in the world since then, but thankfully, nothing too much has altered or eroded from Owen's discerning sense of sound, his fiery passion and talent for exploring the finest, deepest 4/4 grooves in his colourful bag of tricks! If anything, this even longer exploration shows he has remained very much true to form. Summer is not over yet... "I'm based in Malta and have been DJing since 1993. These days I enjoy playing smaller venues with a good sound system, where people come for the music rather than the hype. At home, I always look forward to playing places like Big Ron's, Sunny Side Festival, and other intimate parties put together by promoters who genuinely care about creating the right atmosphere. This all-vinyl mix is a reflection of what I've been listening to lately - a blend of old records, newer discoveries, and a few tracks from my homies. It includes a track by my son, Niko Jay, a test pressing from Melchior Sultana's forthcoming EP, and Sam's Minima 0.2. The opening track is a minimal house groove I created on modular. Over the years I've released music on a number of labels, but lately I've been enjoying putting out small lathe-cut editions. I also enjoy experimenting with modular synths and other bits of gear, following ideas wherever they lead. For this experimental side of my music, I use the alias Sequential Feedback, under which I have an album coming out in September."
