Cenk Akyol from Istanbul, Turkey delivers another CD-length live session of his carefully chosen, introspective vinyl selections for Nietzsche Lessons. This follows on from episode 5, which we released in July 2022.

"A smooth trip down the avenue of sound, where feeling fine never ends." Cenk Akyol, November 2025

"The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind." - Friedrich Nietzsche

Picture of Alec + Cenk taken when they met in person one sunny Sunday afternoon in Manchester, September 2025.

Music collector, DJ and occasional artist/producer. DJ'ing since 1997, I play a wide range of music that is mainly focused on the deeper/dubbier shades of house, techno & electro. I also love all kinds of eclectic stuff including disco, boogie, Italo, synth pop, nu jazz, jazzdance, lounge, trip-hop, downtempo, dub, reggae, jungle, liquid drum & bass, IDM, electronica, Warp, Ninja Tune etc.

In summer 2013 I set up the Avenue Red (@avenue-red) imprint to push quality material from a wide plethora of DJs and artists who I have particular respect for in terms of their musical output, artistry and dedication to the cause.
