Avenue Red

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

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."

The Brooklyn selector extraordinaire known as Ayumi is back, returning almost 5 years on from his podcast episode #184, to drop a cluster deployment of 3 deep, dubbed-out, perfectly selected, sequenced & blended mixes for Avenue Red. "Concluding the trilogy, this mix returns to Dub Techno with increased intensity. 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..."

"Part 2 drifts into Ambient Techno, focusing on subtle rhythms, lush pads, and slowly evolving textures. Atmospheric sounds unfold gently, creating a lucid, dreamlike environment that feels suspended between consciousness and quiet nature."

"Part 1 of this series dives into Steppa Dub, drawing from Jamaican roots and sound system culture. Heavy, pressing drums drive the mix forward while deep basslines and immersive textures create a meditative yet powerful atmosphere. Built for late nights, deep listening, and full-body vibrations."

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."

Avenue Red rolls out the red carpet for his 4th visit to the main podcast series... 6 years on from his debut appearance, we welcome another delightfully deep, dreamy "sleep house" vinyl mix from Paris DJ Pierre Caillou, who is also the owner of the excellent Chateau Chépère record label. It is also worth noting that this is the first mix we have ever released that contains a sample from a 90s raccoons cartoon (link below). "This is the « Lysergic Raccoon Dream » mixtape... pretty self-explanatory I guess. Mischievous deep cuts by: Dialogue - Dub Taylor Remix (Morris Audio City Sport Edition, 2005) Maizena (Regelbau, 2019) Dan Piu (Birds, 2023) Oleg Poliakov (Circus Company, 2012) Two Armadillos (Two Armadillos, 2012) Rick Wade (Laid, 2009) Brian Harden (Sistrum, 2014) Unknown Artist (Chikyu-u Records, 2019) Jacksonville (Chateau Chepere, 2024) Spacer IV aka JS Zeiter (Pleasure, 1997) Graephyc Joy (Subwave, 1996) Kid Scientific (Ritual Recordings, 2000) John Ciafone (Ultra Records, 1998) Julian Perez (Fathers & Sons Productions, 2012) Thotful Spot (Basic Energy / Mineral Cuts, 1994/2021)" Pierre Caillou, July 2022 https://soundcloud.com/cailloulapierrequiroule See Also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-201-caillou https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-172-caillou https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-136-caillou And Also: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110008/

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!" Armin Bender, August 2025 https://soundcloud.com/arminbender

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

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 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!

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!"

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!"

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. Here they are found circling around in that hinterland where purely deep house meets dub techno in a blurry merge of spacey, aquatic 4/4 sounds. https://soundcloud.com/huzaev https://soundcloud.com/artssss https://soundcloud.com/deeparts See Also: https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-207-glik-arts
