The Avenue Red Podcast is a series that aims to push DJs and artists based solely upon the quality of their output, the refinement of their taste and their dedication to the music. Commercially-driven reputation, inflated egos, "big names" and artificially-manufactured hype are of no interest to us. We know true quality shines in its own light.

Avenue Red Podcast

Avenue Red is proud to present a multi-genre underground DJ/selector who we have known about and admired since around the time Avenue Red launched in 2013. Enter Ayumi from Brooklyn, New York - a very busy and productive mixmaster who can string together a perfect set of seemingly any style of electronic music with equal aplomb. With perfect mixing and interesting tunes that keep you curious, guessing what's next, grooving, dreaming, stepping... he has done over 100 such high quality mixes, which are all available on his Soundcloud page.

The majority of his mixes are of a style that overlaps in large amounts with the stylistic output of Avenue Red, so we figured it was high time to send an invitation his way. In response, Ayumi has dropped us 73 minutes of deep, dubbed-out house and techno tracks, mixed to the maximum standard and intelligently arranged into something wholesome and beautiful that is greater than the sum of its parts.

"Here's a mix of Dub Techno / House that represents my journey living in my neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn, NYC. I wanted to capture how it is raw, groovy with so much soul. Dub Techno / House can often sound similar and sometimes even monotonous, which can be great for smooth listening. For this mix though, I focused on a track selection that shows variety and character, similar to Bushwick." Ayumi, May 2021

Avenue Red listener, obsessive music collector and DJ, the man known as Faestos, has stepped over the line and delivered a special set of musical notes and moody hues for our collective discerning aural considerations. Originating from "Tintin" town, Brussels - capital city of Belgium - Faestos (real name Stephan Hartog) has created an awe-inspiring universe of sound lasting just over 2 hours from big bang to the big crunch. Free your mind, let your imagination float on the waves of this magical soundtrack of deep, dubbed-out techno and ambient sounds. See you later in the foggy haze over on the dancefloor.

"I am glad you opened this gift from me to you! With this mix, I want to take you on a journey through ever-changing environments - from nature to space to urban and back. I mixed a selection of dub techno and deep house tunes which range from deeply meditative and atmospheric to dancefloor-friendly and quite energetic, each representing a different environment. I will leave it up to you to decide which reflects which." Stephan Den Hartog, March 2022

After 9 solid years of releasing the finest, deepest, dopest, most dubbed-out and trippy underground DJ mixes from around the globe... we finally hit the BIG 200 milestone and we are doing it BIG in style, quality AND quantity - all at the same time. Avenue Red will deliver 10 mixes in rapid succession from 10 different selectors, some of which are returning and some delivering their long-awaited debut.

First up, we welcome the return of the seasoned Berlin deep house Admiral known as Estimulo. Dishing his second contribution to the series, this is a captivating, soul-warming, moving, grooving extended mix of totally obscure, forgotten or at least bloody well hidden four-to-the-floor gemstones.

"It's a real exception for me to do a mix of a duration of more than let's say 90 mins for a podcast, but the cause deserves it. I tried to jam-pack this mix with as many of my slightly more unknown 'deep techy house' secret weapons as possible and when alec came back saying that he hardly knows anything in the mix then I knew that I succeeded. Happy 200th birthday to Avenue Red and here's to many more!" Estimulo, June 2022

Swiss don of the deep Alessandro Crimi is back with a sweetly mesmeric, balmy session of summery deep house & techno vibes. This marks his 11th overall contribution for Avenue Red and 10th for the main podcast series in almost as many years. Long may it continue!

Avenue Red is proud to present a pair of masterful deep/dub techno mixes created by Alastair Kelly, who comes from the seaside town of Ryde on the north edge of the Isle of Wight, just a few miles off England's south-central coast.

Alastair is the man behind the awesome Lempuyang label, which goes from strength to strength as it builds out its impressive roster of luminaries in the deep/dub techno sphere. Lempuyang has pressed and dispatched new weapons-grade materials from many of Avenue Red's most beloved artists, having clocked up 10 releases since the label's inception in late 2021.

These artists include some of our previous guests and good friends: OHM, Octal Industries and Hydergine; Manchester's Vinyl Exchange record shop boss and artist J.S. Zeiter; Mosaic label boss Steve O'Sullivan AKA Bluetrain; Icelandic legend Yagya; Japanese artist Altone; Moscow artist Anton Kubikov; Canadian dub techno specialist Deadbeat and mysterious mad hatter Sa Pa, among others.

It's truly staggering how far this label has come in 1 short year! These two mixes from Alastair help to colour in the picture of his inspirations and trace how these roots extend to the shoots of his flourishing new imprint, along the way showcasing some of the sublime material it has released so far. And now for part 1...

"A pair of mixes from Lempuyang's chief consumer of hot drinks and bread-based snacks. First up, I have for you 115 minutes of total deepness, recommended to go with a cup of builder's tea and a double-decker Marmite sandwich." Alastair Kelly, December 2022

Avenue Red welcomes the return of Amsterdam DJ & producer dubtommy for the first podcast episode of 2023! In under 2 weeks we are heading over the waters to attend the very exciting Stately Records vs Irenic label event being held at OOSTerBAR in Amsterdam, where we will bear witness to https://soundcloud.com/rogergerressen, Avenue Red resident selector https://soundcloud.com/alessandro_crimi and also dubtommy himself alongside his Stately label pal, Frederik.

This mix can be seen as the calm before the storm, as dubtommy whips up a whirlwind of dreamy downtempo, smoked-out trip-hop, kaleidoscopic bossa nova and liquid nujazz tracks.

"The start of a new year calls for a new DJ mix, this time going down in the tempo. Thanks to Alec Pritchard for hosting this one again, my 4th submission for his wonderful Avenue Red podcast series. Get lost in this maze of sound!" Tommy Lemmers, January 2023

Avenue Red Podcast #212 - dubtommy

We close out this 10-years of Avenue Red mini series with a debut mix from veteran crate digger and deep house & techno specialist, Tomas Bexton from Maidstone in Kent, England. A vinyl-only session. This is mostly comprised of some of our all-time favourite oldskool deep house gems, mixed with utmost smoothness! 10/10.

"I am not a professional DJ or a music producer, you could call me a long-standing vinyl collector of electronic and (mostly) house music since the 1990's. This mix focuses mainly on deep house with a definite nod to a couple of decades back at least.

My aim is to let the records and music do the work, with (hopefully!) a smooth mixing style. I want to feel a sense of peace through the records, maintaining the deep feel throughout. Electronic and minimal influences are of course also thrown in. Honoured to be allocated a podcast slot! I hope people enjoy the mix to round off the 10-year celebrations mini series." Tomas Bexton, December 2023

Avenue Red Is 10... Tomas Bexton

After a salubrious pause in our output, the Avenue Red Podcast resumes forward motion with the second installment in the series from one of our favourite DJ's and producers - Alessandro Crimi. This mix is inspired by the fresh autumnal vibes around his picturesque hometown of St. Gallen in the Swiss Alps, as he delivers a stunning blend of magical, dreamy house music full of blissful melodies, slick, grooving beats and soul-warming basslines. The craftiness of the mixing and well-considered transitions that glue tracks together so seamlessly are a lesson in truly innovative DJ'ing, making for a luxurious listening experience.

This 80-minute session neatly follows on from his stylistically similar guest mix on the last Avenue Red Radio Show that we did back in September. Alessandro shows that he is developing a very niche style that allows elements of his strong Dub Techno sensibilities (as a DJ and Producer) to bleed into his own unique vision of true deep house music. We are honoured to have such quality to deliver on the series... enjoy the mix everyone!

Avenue Red Podcast welcomes Marseille-based DJ/artist Sarah Goldfarb for his debut mix on the series. Mastermind of the most hilarious and incisive techno scene memes (for which he is fast becoming uniquely infamous), he is best known to us for his scintillating, deep, shimmering, minimal, clicky micro house & techno releases pressed in the 2000's.

Many older Avenue Red heads will recall some of the important labels he graced, including: Riley Reinhold's Trapez Ltd; Treibstoff; Dumb-Unit; Curle Recordings; 200 Records; Toys For Boys Records and more. It's great to have him back, adding his fresh, zesty ideas once again to this rather murky and unusual realm of the underground. This mix is truly magical. Taste it.

"After many years of hiatus I am back on it with DJ'ing, producing music and SekT, my new project more oriented around deep/ambient/techno material. Since the early 2000's I have always explored the deeper territories of techno but sometimes it could be more focused on deep house music for the after-parties. Enjoy the mix, which progresses through my main spectrum of sounds." Sarah Goldfarb, March 2024

After an unusual 3-year gap, Alessandro Crimi is back at Avenue Red HQ once again, marking himself as one of the lords of the deep underground. This fresh 2025 mix is to show us his latest updated maps and mathematical models of a specific realm of the Universal space-time continuum... here, he presents what he describes as: deep, atmospheric and futuristic electro. Let's explore.

The Avenue Red Live Sessions series hits the 10th episode with a pulsating tech house mix from Peter Bernath from Budapest, Hungary. Peter is the boss of RTS.FM Budapest and his long-running Lost Minute event, where Avenue Red's Alec Pritchard had played back in February 2022 (exactly 3 years ago - see links below). This is a live & direct session recorded at a festival near the village of Rajka in the north west of Hungary.

"3/9/24, 9:29 PM
[Peter]
Heey Alec, how are you? I have a nice recording from one of my favorite small festival (DVN Camp) and this years edition was incredible... such a nice location by the river, amazing crowd and I really loved playing there especially on the little Ecler Warm2 rotary 🙂

If you have time please check it out my friend 🙂

I was wondering if you could maybe use it for your Avenue Red series... of course just in case if you like it and it fits??

Excellent energy for the Live Sessions series.

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!" Jukka Hänninen, March 2025

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!" Tim Ohta, April 2025

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! Enjoy 😃" Iulian Cazan, April 2025

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." Chris Curtis, April 2025

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

Damo B brought the Innate boys Owain K and Gilbert up from Bristol to Manchester to help man the music stations @ Eastern Bloc! A wicked night that started with Damo B playing on a loosely B2B tip with Owain as they jointly delivered a smooth vinyl session deluxe, exploring their mad collections of deep, grooving, funky house music with a few techno licks thrown into the mix.

Gilbert then stepped up for a LIVE electronics set, performed off-the-cuff and exclusively composed of his own material. Astonishing music that will make you wish you were there!

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.

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!"

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).

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.

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!" Dmitry Gusev, January 2025

Avenue Red Podcast #253 - Gusev

Following on from his excellent, inspirational guest appearance at the Avenue Red event @ SUPERMASSIVE here in his native Manchester back in September, we are now very proud to present his debut on the main podcast series. A true veteran of production, DJing, running slick record labels started back quarter of a century ago etc... this set shows you what you need to know, enter Al Bradley!

"This is a mix made up entirely of recent and forthcoming tracks & remixes by me. I have intentionally not added a tracklist as some of these are exclusive and I might get done, ha! Hopefully it gives a bit of an insight into my inability to stick to one style, which I'm never too sure is a positive or negative thing.

Either way, I think it reflects the way I also work in terms of DJing, as I cover a fair mixture of tempos & sounds generally, especially doing 7-hour sets with Steve Lipscombe under our Precinct guise at The 212 Café & Bar in Leeds.

What I would say is to look out for the second 12" on my new Dragon Parade label landing early 2026 and also some fresh bits, both vinyl & digital, on my main label, 3am Recordings, which - somewhat unbelievably - hits 23 years old next year. Some of the tracks in this mix will be on those very releases. Hope you dig!" Al Bradley, December 2025

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.

"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." Ayumi, December 2025

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.

"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." Ayumi, December 2025

Continuing with our theme of chilled summery vibes we welcome back Avenue Red resident and Waehlscheibe label boss Alessandro Crimi, as he delivers his own self-proclaimed "timeless summer soundtrack".

"For me this is a personal summer soundtrack, but not just for 2016. This is a choice selection of old, timeless favourite cuts that bring back memories of hot, sunny days and really set the scene. There was only room for a 2 or 3 newer tracks on this one. In the beginning the mood is from a nice summer afternoon, later I imagine that it's getting slowly dark outside, until the sun goes up again (last 2 tracks).

My next gigs in the pipeline are:
13-08-2016 :: Frieda's Büxe (Zürich, Switzerland)
27-08-2016 :: ROOFTOP (Konstanz, Germany)
01-10-2016 :: TBA (London, UK)

I hope you dig the mood and feel the heat! :)" Alessandro Crimi, July 2016

Avenue Red Podcast #069 - Alessandro Crimi

Our man in Amsterdam formerly known as Trepid returns to the Avenue Red Podcast with yet another sublime mix of deep, dubbed out, dreamy, melodic electronic music. This is his third contribution to the series, but this time under his new dubtommy alias, which he converted to last year. This is an all-vinyl mix fusing deep house with some breaks/electro cuts, a very nicely wrapped package of sweet delights to help turn up the brightness dial on our temporarily shut-in, locked-down, greyscale lives. It's time to recline and let it all flow through you, preferably at high volume.

"Before we all know it, we'll be back on the dancefloor shaking our booties off. Enjoy this mix as a warm-up for what's gonna come very soon!" dubtommy, May 2020

The Avenue Red Podcast presents a fresh addition to the roster. Welcome Kyrro (real name George Kury) who is originally from France and is now based in Amsterdam, the Dutch capital city full of red light districts, trippy weed cafes and intriguing bars and clubs with a strong undercurrent of underground electronic music culture.

Kyrro sent us a few mixes in the past and there was a sad story: an accidental data loss occurred on both sides and an incredible 1-hour mix he created to be released on Avenue Red was lost forever. This is the new improved version, the final directors cut, which has come 1 year later and we are over the moon to be able to finally do this!

One word comes to mind from the sounds within: Glacial. This mix really captures a mood of travelling through cold icy waters and exploring landscapes full of glaciers... the loneliness, the isolation - apart from the odd polar bear - and the beautifully barren nature of such a place is all wrapped up into one dreamy, textured package... full of echo, melancholy and slow, timeless motion.

"I grew up in France in the 90's playing electric guitar and experimenting with synthesizers. I produce analogue soundscapes using hardware tools with a mix of raw elements and a modern touch. I love living in Amsterdam where I am constantly working to shape deep and ambient electronics into my own sound, while continuing to explore new musical horizons.

This journey is all about deep, dubby techno energy put together in different shades of red. Thanks to Avenue Red and to all contributing artists on this amazing project, which I am now finally a proud part of!" George Kury, August 2020

Established in summer 2013 in Newcastle, England, Avenue Red is all about high quality house & techno music with unique character and depth. We aim to push DJs and artists based solely upon the quality of their output, the refinement of their taste and their dedication to the music. Commercially-driven reputation, inflated egos, "big names" and artificially-manufactured hype are of no interest to us. We know true quality shines in its own light.
