Avenue Red

Avenue Red welcomes back Berlin-based selector Farbian for his third mix in the main podcast series, following sets in 2019 and 2022. Spanning over 100 minutes of breathtakingly deep electronica, house, and techno, this journey offers an esoteric soundscape that is ideal for one to lie down and stare up at the stars, watching the planes and satellites drifting by. This man sure knows how to flow a mix smoothly and creatively! "I'm proud to be part of the Avenue Red Podcast series for the third time! What I appreciate most about the platform is that it gives a voice to the true underground, with Alec always putting the music before anything else - thank you! For this mix, I focused on deep, driving sounds from my collection, ranging from minimal and hypnotic house to dub techno. I've always been drawn to the beauty of these melancholic textures and wanted to shine a light on sounds which deserve to be heard more often on today's dancefloors. To round things off, the mix also features a few of my own productions, created together with my good friend Dr. Phil Hall in the studio several years ago. They're tracks I still deeply love, and I'm happy to share them in this context."

On 18th July 2026, Rich C hosted a launch event for his new label Hearts & Minds at Eastern Bloc in Manchester, which came hot on the heels of its debut release by house + techno strongman Kirk Degiorgio. Local legends Al Bradley (3am Recordings) and Damo B (Outta Limits Radio Show) also joined forces to deliver a vinyl-only session of over 6 solid hours. https://soundcloud.com/albradley3am https://soundcloud.com/damo-b https://soundcloud.com/rick-leonard https://soundcloud.com/hearts_and_minds https://soundcloud.com/3amrecordings Event Listing: https://ra.co/events/2403663 Debut Release: https://www.discogs.com/release/36542068-Kirk-Degiorgio-Kirk-Degiorgio-Presents-Clappp See Also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/live-session-011-rich-c-damo-b-eastern-bloc-manchester-uk-14-02-2025

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."

Avenue Red only has a loose, sparse scattering of electro and breaks mixes across it's now exactly 13-year history, however we do see that arena of sounds as an integral and important part of the musical landscape that we inhabit. We could pick you out dozens of mixes we released over the years akin to this, but they are quite infrequent. But now, enter a newcomer to the series, the man like Action Morton who hails from Nova Scotia, the scenic Canadian maritime province on the Atlantic coast, famous for its 13,000 km of coastline. He sent it across the pond. We took a listen, and thought... "this is a great mix - one we could not refuse". And we did not want to. We were given no reason to. We did not think that there were any plausible suggestions as to why it would have been a good idea to... so, whateverrrrr! Press play, then read on. "Hey I'm Andrew Morton. My DJ performance name is Action Morton, a selector from LaHave, Nova Scotia. Recently, I've been no stranger to the Dub Techno world and beyond on SoundCloud with mixes via popular channels such as Negative Pace's Subtle Radio Show, Manchester-based Dub Explorations / Quadrant Soundscape, Piranha Siberia Dub and also for DJ Sideways. My mixtape for Avenue Red is an experimental ensemble of mostly Techno, Dub Techno, Deep Techno, House and Electro. The deeper latter parts of this mix creates a trippy flow... a deep and dubby state. You will find music from artists such as Markus Masuhr, MoMa Ready, Lonerist and many more heavy hitters. All of my music selected is comprised of Bandcamp digging. Come groove, chill, flow and blast and bump your speakers out to this Action Morton heavy mix!"

Our resident correspondent Amaury Rondon AKA NEZ from Santo Domingo returns to Avenue Red after his awesome tripartite 10th anniversary album of mixes he brewed for us 2 years ago (link below). This fresh addition from the WarmState label boss is a straight-up summery, groovy, funky, tropical deep house mix that fits the current climes so very sweetly. "I couldn't think of a better way to capture the essence of this scorching summer of 2026 than by putting together this set—perfect for the season and made for dancing. It's a selection of deep house and tech house tracks that practically beg to be listened to at the beach, by the river, or poolside. Thanks to Avenue Red for releasing it and giving me the chance to be involved once again; I invite everyone to enjoy it with an ice-cold beer in hand. From Dominican Republic with love!"

Avenue Red welcomes a newcomer to the series... someone who has been keenly listening and learning well along the way for the whole time the project been running! So, enter Ludoviko, who comes from Freiburg im Breisgau, right in the south west corner of Germany. The town (and Ludoviko) is located just beside the border of France and Switzerland in a beautiful, verdant, and frankly incredible emerald green landscape nestled against the edge of The Black Forest (Schwarzwald). But we are told he often ventures to Berlin almost as a second home. This tight, varied and intriguing vinyl mix is simply 105 minutes of the man himself shooting from the hip from his collection with something that is really original and refreshing, as he traces down from the tip of the tree to the networks of it's roots. P.S. watch out for the Beachball, which hits you on the head at the end! :D "This vinyl-only mix reflects my passion for House, Tech House, and Techno. Moving seamlessly between deep grooves, uplifting energy, and trippy soundscapes, it takes listeners on a dynamic journey shaped by atmosphere, flow, and emotion. Organic, driving, and played entirely on vinyl — this is how I love to experience and share electronic music." Ludoviko, June 2026 https://soundcloud.com/ludoviko1

Glasgow lad Chris Currie — better known by his production and DJ alias Dubrovnik (UK) — returns to Avenue Red with a two-hour payload of precision deep, techy, hypnotic goodness. Expect shimmering splashes of melody and colour throughout, alongside plenty of dub-infused pressure in this earthy, tripped-out brew of tunes. This mix is partly in honour of Chris in his absence at this year's repeat summer daze event @ OverDraught in Levenshulme, south Manchester. Only one of the Glasgow Chrises (other one being Chris Curtis - in attendance!) could make it this time. But to warm us up? We have this ace mix that somehow evokes that moment in Alan Partridge's chat show where 007 chap Roger Moore couldn't quite make it to the show... got stuck near Chiswick Roundabout apparently. Awful, awful business... Dubrovnik (UK) is not visiting Croatia either... he's just playing at some prestigious golf tournament. But good luck to him, right?! Many of his own tracks: released and unreleased; are featured in this hyper-focused session of deep, insightful 4/4 musical engineering. Get it on. "An honour and privilege to support Avenue Red boss Alec on his global outreach of sharing quality music via this awesome platform!! Hope you enjoy the mix. Took it through the gears and condensed what would normally be an extended set into a 2-hour story from deep dubbyness to spacey bangness!"

Berlin-based Russian-German selector Dmitry Gusev returns for his BIG 10th contribution to Avenue Red. Another sweet and delicious summery deep house selection box we have here, so full of life and character. 100% vinyl, as always with this refined gentleman. "Hello music lovers! The idea behind this mix was very simple. After releasing Avenue Red Podcast episodes 253 and then 257, I received a great deal of positive feedback, so I decided to create another fresh instalment. I went through my vinyl shelves and selected some fitting material. After two or three attempts, the mix was complete, and I was pleased with the result. In this mix, you'll find many familiar names, such as Boo Williams, Move D, Kai Alcé, Matthew Herbert, Maurice Fulton, Alton Miller, and others. This mix would be the perfect soundtrack for those warm summer nights. Enjoy!"

Avenue Red had a very enjoyable sunshine-drenched live session on the 10th May 2025 at the excellent underground techno pub named OverDraught, located in south Manchester’s Levenshulme area. This was a 10-hour long session and the original recording has been frankly slept on for precisely 1 year. But here we are now proud to present this juicy excerpt, which is the first 5 hours and 40 minutes of the event when things were "relatively coherent", shall we say. Expect all shades of underground house, deep house, techno, dub techno, tech house, electro, electronica, IDM and more from a shedload of records and some digital action too! Original Event Listing: https://ra.co/events/2159252 ~~~ Lineup ~~~ Alec Pritchard [The weird one from Gloucester] Chris Curtis [Deepness wizard #1 down from Glasgow] Dubrovnik (UK) [Deepness wizard #2 down from Glasgow] Tomas Bexton [House & techno vineyard gangster up from Maidstone, Kent] Keep an eye out for our next event at OverDraught on Saturday 30th May, again running from 3pm until 1am with a similar lineup, as we have Alec Pritchard, Chris Curtis and Tomas Bexton all returning.
