Dub Boy 3 for CSL 23_09_22

For the next Far Blue concept, we have the second live set that has been carefully crafted by Project Indigo's Pango. Inspired by an unclear horizon, with the shades of the blue sky and sea blending, it starts out with feelings of some kind of uncertainty, and later moves on towards more comforting, settled harmonies, much like when the mist clears and the mood is restored.

'I isolated myself in my home studio over two weekends, so I could get lost in Far Blue’s theme. While making the set I always pictured the colour gradient of a faded unclear horizon. I liked the mystery and the disorientation of the idea, yet at the same time the component of water also gave me something more tangible that I could relate better to sound. Through the process of making the set, I couldn't help picturing the mental image being sunnier every time, until it pretty much became a nice day at the beach, where the horizon was quite obvious.'

A Far Blue concept by Pango (live) - 'Lost & Found'

On the first Friday in October TRACE welcomed Dub Techno connoisseur Andy Green of Verdant Recordings to Brunswick Cellars.

Here is the full 5 hour set, taking you through the gears. 

This wasn't your usual warm up/ guest Dj scenario, with Andy and Chris going back to back on 3 tracks each for a good few hours. 

Which hours who knows, but it's a quality journey from start to finish.

Andy Green & Chris Curtis. 5 HOUR SET /// TRACE /// October 24

I tried to upload this a long time ago, closer to when it was recorded yet it could not poke through the canopy of weeds... SoundCloud had a very harsh punitive system of nuking anything that started with any detectable copyrighted tune (quite rarely the case for me so almost all other mixes were unaffected). Now things are relaxed I thought I would attempt to upload it again, bloody 15 years on! It's nothing too special just me spinning some wax, CD's and some real good tracks xx

P.S. This is the original artwork that I made at the time with a photo I took on an old Canon camera.

Artist: Star_Dub [StarDub / OHM Series / Rawax / VUO Records / spclnch]

Our 11th Expedition takes us to the sonic planet of Matthias Schildger, and specifically his Star_Dub Alias. No Stranger to the scene, Matthias has been an artist that we have been huge admirers of for many years now. His Star_Dub releases very rarely leave our bags and are a stable in our vinyl mixes, anyone who has attended our Eastern Bloc parties will attest to this. To be able to welcome him to the Frontier is a honour for us. 

Matthias is a German DJ and producer based in Offenbach and co-founder of Mainrecords. He is an incredibly versatile artist with a whole host of alias’ that showcase his breadth and depth of sound. For this particular Frontier mix we requested one in the style of Star_Dub. Through this moniker he is able to explore all things deep and dubby whether that be techno or house.

Matthias Schildger's journey began at the age of 8 in 1995 when he was recording tapes of a German radio show, Hr3 Clubnight. By the age of 12, he made his first steps into music production, using a PlayStation to experiment with sounds. 

His unconventional approach yielded promising results, prompting him to delve deeper into music production. By 2006 he had released his debut record. During that year, Matt developed his style and separated it into many different aliases under which he plays and produces, such as Binary Operator, Star_Dub, CNTRL, Polyfan Polyphenix, or his real name Matthias Schildger.

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!" Tomas Bexton, May 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.
