May 2012 marked the release of our latest single, the Super Strength EP by Marcelus. A lethal 12" packed with four killer grooves for which he, only, has the secret recipe. On the occasion of his appearance at the closing of our last exhibition at the Red Gallery in Shoreditch, London, Marcelus recorded a fantastic set packed with emotions and solid grooves for our Tresor.Cast series...

Cromby - Potency - HÖR  Nov 29  2022

And once again the end of the year catches us completely off guard. Who would have expected the year to have so few days? We are busy shaking out the bowling alley and getting the beds warm for the arrival of this year's residents of our cozy Nachtiville. 

We're already testing the floors and Cromby (@cromby) has kneaded us a mix from the finest of his record bags. The crowd favorite will be playing on THE TANGLE floor, one of our new floors, in January. Until then, sweeten your time with his Nachtipod, full of booty shaking tunes and a wild, great mix of house and acid. Have fun listening in!

AVA MIX 019 - Timmy Stewart's 10 Year Anniversary Mix

Suze Gurusinghe AKA Surusinghe is an experimental producer renowned for her creative, bass-heavy tracks with a percussion influence. The Naarm/Melbournite, currently resides in London – and her unique musical style reflects her wide range of global inspirations.

After realising how little diversity there was in music, she made the decision to provide the representation she wanted to see and reflect Asian influence. Surusinghe hopes to make "fast, high-energy tracks" that resonate with people on the dance floor and establish a connection with the sounds she heard in her childhood home.

Suze made her incredible AVA debut with us at AVA in the Woods as part of All Together Now 2023. This year she makes her festival debut on Titanic Slipways on Friday 31st May 2024 in a special b2b set with Bitter Babe as part of our 10th birthday celebrations.

You can check out our interview with her and get the full tracklist for this ix on our website: https://avafestival.com/ava-mix-017-surusinghe/

This week’s AVA mix is a very special entry to the series, from a true house music legend. Over the past 40-odd years, Kerri Chandler has undoubtedly helped shape the electronic music landscape. Hailing from East Orange, New Jersey, Chandler was exposed to music at a young age through his father, a well-known DJ. His love of music was encouraged by this early exposure, which prepared him for his future vocation.

Chandler's career started in the late 1980s, and he soon gained recognition for his distinctive style, which combines house music with jazz, soul, and gospel influences. His 1990 breakthrough track, "SuperLover/Get It Off," signalled the beginning of an incredibly successful career.

In addition to producing, Chandler is renowned for his energetic DJ sets, which frequently feature live components and his distinctive usage of drum machines. In 1992 he co-founded Madhouse Records along with a Dublin-based music entrepreneur Mel Medalie. This platform played a pivotal role in advancing house music and nurturing new talent in Ireland and all around the world. 

This year Kerri Chandler returns to Belfast for the first time in over a decade as part of our 10th birthday celebrations.

You can read all about Kerri's thoughts on his upcoming visit to Belfast, his first in over 10 years, by heading to the link below. He also weighs in on the controversial Guinness vs Murphy's debate!

Belfast-born and now London-based, Hannah is an underground force.

She’s set the tone at countless AVA warehouse parties, earned the title Bass Queen, and when we debuted our Immerse stage at All Together Now, she lit the fuse that ignited day two. This edition of the AVA Mix captures that moment — a live recording from her explosive ATN set. 

We knew we had to put this one out and give you a taste of what’s to come. She takes The Dock - our new stage with RA - for a spin at AVA 2025, in less than eight weeks.

Check out the tracklist for this one + our Q&A with the Queen herself via the link below:

High-energy chunkers and acid rowdiness. What else could you expect from a pair like @sallycberlin and @cromby? The Berlin-based DJs moved over from Belfast roughly five years ago and bonded over their mutual obsession with records from Chicago and Detroit. In their mix, the two blend their signature style of peak-time heaters, with new material from Cromby's @potencyrecords imprint and a few unreleased gems from friends. 

Watch our B2Beats interview with the pair here:
