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 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

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 Podcast #202 - Alessandro Crimi

Avenue Red is proud to present a sublime hour-long mix of deep, dubby house & techno from DJ Joshua, who hails from Setúbal, a coastal town that is part of the metropolitan area of Lisbon, capital city of Portugal.

"This mix was recorded especially for Avenue Red and covers sounds from more expressive and ambient tracks, evolving to something more mental and strong techno. Then going through the middle for some things a little softer and more delicate. It's like a reflection or a mirror of what I've always absorbed from electronic music and the way I feel and express it in my works as a DJ. An example of this is my two weekly radio shows with two different aspects but that at a certain point can cross and also the other participations and collaborations that I do whenever possible.

Thank you so much Alec for this opportunity to spread and share good music. That is always my main purpose. Enjoy this little trip! I leave here the complete tracklist below ;)" Joshua Mar, September 2022

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 proudly welcomes Owain K, the Bristol don of all things deep and co-label boss of Innate (alongside Tom Gilbert). Owain recently played at our Avenue Red event held at The Loco Klub in Bristol in March 2023, which turned into an incredible 4-hour B2B session with Avenue Red frontman Alec Pritchard. It was recorded and released as part of our Live Sessions series (link below) and the response to this collaboration was very positive!

Owain's first studio mix for our main podcast series is as masterful as it is long overdue... it's a seamless, perfectly paced blend of trippy, melodic, grooving deep house & techno. Get it on!

"The recording is my usual mix n' match of sounds - old, new, deep and true... all with a dub flavour in there somewhere. Although probably more from the deep house sphere on this trip than other sets I might play... Big thank you to Alec for being the ever excellent host! 😎 Enjoy!" Owain K, June 2023

Avenue Red Podcast #223 - Owain K

For the second of this 5-part sub-series to celebrate 10 years of Avenue Red, we welcome the Glasgow artist, DJ and all-round dub wizard known as Dubrovnik (UK). With a wealth of fine dub techno material released over the past 8 years, including an EP on Greyscale's magnificent Mood Series, the man Chris Currie has under his Dubrovnik (UK) moniker traced through a journey of his own unique sonic craft.

Relentless investment of time, energy and focus; ceaseless digging; learning and developing in the studio and out at gigs and shows etc. have all culminated in him distilling his own unique sound, as demonstrated in this exceptional Celtic vs Rangers match-length mix for Avenue Red. This is a session of exquisite deepness - a relentless, well-controlled onslaught of trippy, glacial, dubbed-out techno & house music.

"I've been an avid listener of Avenue Red for a long time, it's an honour to be asked to contribute to this wonderful series! For the mix, I've dug deep through the archives to give an after hours vibe - an early doors to late night floors feel from walking into a club and being taken on a journey as the music shifts through the moods & gears. Really hope you enjoy the mix!" Chris Currie, August 2023

Avenue Red Is 10... Dubrovnik (UK)

Avenue Red was on recording duties as two of Manchester's finest oldskool house heads got together for a dig through the archives. This was at Damo B's long-running regular event, Nothing But The Truth held @ Eastern Bloc, Manchester from the hours of 22:00-03:00. This recording captures the proceedings after the first 40 minutes had passed by.

For those who don't know... Damo B is the presenter and producer of The Outta Limits Radio Show, exclusively on Manchester's Unity Radio 92.8 FM and online on www.unityradio.fm every Thursday night from 1am until 3am UK Time. "Techno, House and Electronica all up in the mix" is both the catchphrase and the solid gold truth. Damo also runs the burgeoning new label named Emotec, which has pressed EPs from MOY, BufoBufo, Auto Sound City and Rain & White Transit Van to date.

LHK (real name Liam Swarbrick) states that he is generally "retired" these years, but Damo helps to give him a platform on the odd occasion to keep his hand in the game. LHK released over 20 ace house records from 1998-2006 on cult labels including Glasgow Underground, Leeds label 20:20 Vision, Toronto label 83 West Records and the San Francisco-based Tango Recordings (run by fellow Mancunian Tony Hewitt), among other labels.

"We got to play some of our favourite records in one of our favourite venues." Damo B & LHK, August 2023

Lempuyang label boss and all-round top chap Alastair Kelly is back to assist in the 10 years of Avenue Red celebrations with his 3rd contribution to the platform. Another fine studio mix has been crafted for us on his native Isle of Wight in the south of England, this time a shiny and nostalgic deep house mix from the archives of his vast and very refined record collection.

"Lempuyang's lemur whisperer returns with a soundtrack for this glorious Indian summer. Get yourself a cold beer and a supernoodle sandwich to accompany. Bang up your boulevard, and without even buying you dinner first." Alastair Kelly, September 2023

Avenue Red's 10-year celebrations ball keeps on rolling with a football match-length mix from Preston North End's numero uno fan, Tommy Harrison, who is one half of Quadrant Soundscape (as featured twice on the podcast series) and the awesome Dub Explorations show and long-running event of the same name. This time Tommy is performing under his Asphalt Layer alias, which he uses for his uber ninja production work and solo DJ'ing. Be sure to check his page out in the link below!

This is an impeccably constructed set of cosmic, pulsating deep techno, tech house, dub techno and more that gives a solid reflection of the kinds of sounds you will hear when he plays alongside his cohort Wilson Logan as Quadrant Soundscape at the next Avenue Red event at OverDraught, Manchester on Saturday 11/11/2023. Get involved if you can make it or have the power to teleport yourself there, which when listening to this totally sci-fi mix, you might feel you just about can do! Press play, get spaced.

"After a couple of solid Quadrant Soundscape mixes, I felt it was time for Asphalt Layer to grace the Avenue Red decks. I've known Alec for a good while now, and knowing him and his amazing mix series, its an honour and I know my records have found a very good home! For my mix, I went deep and groovy, lots of music I'm really digging currently and some I've been digging for a while. Peace!" Tommy Harrison, October 2023

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 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

Avenue Red Podcast #227 - Sarah Goldfarb

Avenue Red Podcast 029 is an exclusive mix by Jori Hulkkonen, recorded live at a recent event called "My House Is Your House" at a venue called Portti, playing a vinyl-only set at a rare appearance in his hometown of Turku in Finland. Originally hailing from the rather remote Northern town of Kemi in the Lapland region (a place from which The Northern Lights can be seen on 100 days per year), Jori has consistently been a truly inspired innovator throughout a productive music career spanning over two decades, rendering a rich and eclectic discography of releases including a dozen full studio albums, dozens of singles and remix projects counting into the 200's.

A mainstay artist on Eric Morand & Laurent Garnier's (sadly now defunct) F Communications label, Jori's musical output has bled into many different genres and styles, mostly ranging from House to Techno and Electro to Ambient. He has done some conceptual artistic work too, having assembled the Acid Symphony Orchestra in 2007 - an experimental, avant-garde, 11-man techno ensemble featuring ten Roland TB-303's - performing a raw score all written, conducted and mixed by Jori.

As a DJ, Jori has played all over the world and played at hundreds of clubs and festivals throughout the years since the early 90's. His luscious style of high quality, melodic, groovin' House music was brilliantly captured on his famed Radio One Essential Mix from 2002 (https://soundcloud.com/blanche/jori-hulkkonen-essential-mix-2002-02-03) and this mix for our series has distinct echoes of that brilliant session and that era of House music in general. Hope you're ready to hear some classic and obscure House gems woven in true style by a master of the business... Enjoy the mix everyone!

"The fact that it was a party rather than something recorded at home makes it feel like a bit of hit-compilation vibe. But the crowd who were there were so young, I'd guess they'd never heard any of this classic stuff before so my idea was to show them the best of what true Deep House has to offer rather than play curiosities for the connoisseurs. Deep House in 2014 has a very different ring than it did say 15 years ago and I used this session to show them how it used to be. The tracklist is included in full - I have no secrets on this one." Jori Hulkkonen, November 2014

"I live in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) in the Southeast region of Vietnam. The mix was designed along the familiar lines of sunset into night time. Covering a variety of bases, vibes and time periods. Avenue Red has always been a consistent output of quality mixes, I felt this would be the correct destination for this mix.

I have released music as 1DAN on Batti Batti and Atmospheric Existence Recordings, and as Tales Ov Rossi (along with BitterSuite's Jon Gray) on DeepSystems and Atmospheric Existence Recordings. Enjoy this lovingly-crafted deep mix and cheers to all the Avenue Red crew!" Dan Rodgers, April 2024

My first EP named Soft EP was released earlier this year on Nicolas Barnes' ECOUL SND label. I have more EPs and tracks forthcoming on various different labels including Ubertrend Records, Liberty Rhythm, Superordinate Music and Melotonin. Enjoy the mix!" Francesco Tamburrano, May 2024

Fresh heat incoming to Avenue Red from Ezy Fischel B2B N'djinn, a duo from Berlin whose selections are so rich, sweet, deep and fulfilling — not to mention the ridiculously silky, imperceptible transitions — it is at times difficult to take it in and process it in your mind. We are hereby served an eclectic platter of perfect summer solstice vibes. Finest vinyl-only ingredients of house, techno, electro, IDM — it's all there with a red candied cherry on top. Do not sleep on this 2.5 hour fireball of a set!!

"We set our aims on a b2b-mix what feels like ages ago, and in relative terms it is, because it was during winter '20/'21 that we reconnected (being former colleagues at a record shop) and started doing sessions. We always had a good sense of where the other one is, emotionally and musically, so it's been a wholesome journey exploring our collections in tandem.

There are numerous overlaps regarding which artists and labels we both admire, but surprisingly enough we own very few of the same singles and albums. Oftentimes when playing we discover lacunae in discographies we otherwise thought we knew, scrambling to note down an identifier, or, conversely, one of us simply starts nodding — a gesture every music head recognises — when realising exactly what record the other is bringing into the mix... ah, yes, many are the prized-but-not-necessarily-pricey tunes we've shared in ecstatic and all kinds of altered states!

Still, we've been sitting on many a recording without letting loose. After a good three years, now, it's about time we share a moment of that local synergy; fuelled by energy derived from all them creators, the initiators and innovators and elevators, the rebels and renegades of machine funk."

"Thanks to Alec once again for giving me space on the incredible Avenue Red platform. For this mix I just wanted to play a bunch of tracks that I had been feeling recently. As the longer days are here and we finally have some sunshiiiine in Manchester I wanted to harness the power of that big light in the sky and put out a dose of deepness with some summer time vibes. Nothing too fancy in here just a stack of stuff I really enjoy, sequenced up and ready to be served with an ice cold drink. Cheers! 🍻" Wilson Logan, June 2024

Avenue Red Podcast #232 - Wilson Logan

Enter Kári Guðmundsson AKA Hidden People. Another Avenue Red debut mix, another Íslendingar (Icelander) to follow the 6 previous fellow cold-worlders we have featured (Exos, OHM, COLD, Octal Industries, Waage, Álfbeat). This session is an absolute bloody riot, with a selection that is very diverse and so creatively worked in the mix 'n' blend. This is the only mix Avenue Red will ever feature that contains a Barbie sample... deal with it - we had to (it works, you'll see). It's just lots and lots of fun this one! Read on.

"Heyo, so I'm really bad at writing text in general. But I can send some links (see below). I run the label Nonyobiz Records. My old alias was Hypno. Recently I have been working on releases on Iceland labels Móatún 7 and Intellitronic Bubble under various guises. But essentially I have been producing music for about 15-20 years, almost exclusively in Ableton Live and various hardware. Most recently I have been digging my heels into the modular world. My current techno alias/project is Hidden People for the pure techno side of things. DJ Allskynz is for the rest like breakbeat, ambient, house etc.

I really appreciate Avenue Red putting the mix on since I really don't work a lot on the PR side of things (and I should lol!). Again, appreciated. It was a fun time making this mix. I actually thought it was only an hour in and then when I checked it was going two... so yeah, much fun for sure. Hope the wider Avenue Red crew dig it! ;)" Kári Guðmundsson, July 2024

Lempuyang Records captain Alastair Kelly is back on the Avenue Red Podcast with his 4th mix contribution for us. Based on the Isle of Wight in the south of England, here he has cast a perfect sonic summer treat across the waters of The Solent for the deep, murky, trippy house heads adrift out there! Features many of our favourite artists and labels from the golden era, as well as some newer inclusions but we are saying slooow, deeeep house and techno, groovy swinging instrumental hip-hop & trip-hop etc. to finish. Serve yourself a cold one, light up a strong one, inhale and observe the magic unfold in the haze.

"Lempuyang boss Alastair swings by to inject some doozy warmth into your so-far-shit summer. Expect deepness, pitched right down. Pairs nicely with a minimum of 8 margeritas and an enchilada with an unnecessary number of jalapeños." Alastair Kelly, July 2024

We welcome the second coming of Tomas Bexton, a veteran crate digger and deep house & techno specialist from Maidstone in Kent, England. This is yet another vinyl-only session from a true master, hot on the heels of his debut for us in December last year as part of the Avenue Red Is 10... mini series (link below).

Now, let's just quickly make an observation - Tomas knows how to select and mix. There ain't no sync button, for he is the sync button. More black gold bullion from his magnificent and broad record collection heaped onto the Avenue Red deep summer house vibes 2024 bonfire! Hit it crew.

"Very honoured to be invited for a second run with the unstoppable Avenue Red portfolio of talent! I think some spring & summer feelings were in the air with this one as once again, deep and jazzy house rule the way for the majority of the mix. I did want to change the direction at the end though with a tiny sprinkle of dub techno or the like.

Featuring tracks from Alton Miller, DJ Q, Derrick Carter, Altone, Juniper and others - I hope you enjoy this vinyl-only mix... big love to the global house family! PS. The pic is taken from an avenue round the corner right where I live in Maidstone. And strangely, everything looks red today!" Tomas Bexton, August 2024

Avenue Red were grateful to ourselves for having made the impeccable choice to rock up in Margate on the extreme southeast edge of England to witness a phenomenal event back in April. Masterclass sets from all who played there, with this live set from Reedale Rise (real name Simon Keat) being one of the highlights to shine on this wonderful soundsystem in a visually stunning venue. It was ace to also unexpectedly bump into some key agents of organised UK underworld deepness, including Miles Atmospheric of Atmospheric Existence Recordings, Bovill of cult label Meanwhile and many others! Quality > quantity. Keep the faith and enjoy the ride, the tide and the vibes inside! 🌊🌊🌊

"This set was recorded directly from my live performance at Faith In Strangers, Margate earlier this year for Ornate Music and 50arc. The venue is fantastic with a beautifully tuned sound system, views over the sea, and lovely hospitable staff. The event was a chance for me to catch up with people I'd not seen since before the pandemic and put some faces to online names, including Avenue Red's very own Alec.

My live set has changed a lot over the years and the current evolution is all unreleased house and techno tracks. The music I play live has moved in this direction simply because it's more relevant to the dancefloor and more fun to perform to a crowd than some of my deeper electro tracks. Gear-wise, I've added a Roland TR8S drum machine to Ableton, which has allowed me more opportunity to improvise and react spontaneously. Listening back, I'm happy with how the set sounds and hope it resonates with people. Shouts to James Ornate, Damo B, and the 50arc crew for letting me play, and to Alec for both attending the event and hosting my set." Reedale Rise, August 2024

Andy Green AKA Verdant Recordings is back on Avenue Red Podcast with a nice, eclectic Indian summer mix comprised of 2.5 hours of wayward, grooving house & techno delights.

"I often hit record when settling in for a session just in case it turns out to be a keeper. The mix presented here is one of those recent efforts put together on a warm July Monday night with no real purpose other than to enjoy a mix and some great music. Mostly records & few files on the CDJs, some new, some old and one or two unreleased oddities. I thought the Avenue Red community would appreciate a listen so I passed it over to Alec who kindly obliged. Disclaimer: I have nothing to promote... this is the true underground." Andy Green, September 2024

Avenue Red turned up to Affinity at Eastern Bloc Records in Manchester's Northern Quarter back on the 17th July 2024... what a night! Event founder Max Howard AKA Maxxitrax had just kicked off a delightfully enchanting warm-up set and our ever-trusty recorder was plugged into the mixer, soundchecked and activated as quickly as possible... sadly the first few very dazzling and trippy records were missed from the recording, but what was captured 'till the end of his set was just beautiful. Max is clearly a selector's selector with top drawer technical skills. Proper solid intro vibes for a vibrant, hot summers evening session on Stevenson Square, which also later featured Tribe, Damo B and DJ Mindbender. And finally... here it is!

"This is a recording of my opening set from my last Affinity party held at Eastern Bloc. I wanted to use the opportunity to play records that I wouldn't get to play in a peak time or closing slot that I will usually play in. I had picked some records out that fit this narrative but turned up without a game plan. Luckily I managed to work things out so that I could play some soul tracks to start out with and then build tension up gradually. I really enjoyed the process, hopefully the listeners will enjoy it too.

Tracks from the likes of Sade, Pure Silk, Manual, The Stone Roses, Rennie Foster, Autechre - and labels such as Subject Detroit, Novamute, Peacefrog, Tresor..." Maxxitrax, September 2024

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

Avenue Red legend Alessandro Crimi is back to show us his new ways and visions in deep swinging techy house and breaks. We think he has conjured one of his hottest selections to date here. Is this Crimi 2.0?

"Finally I was able to record my first mix in 2019. I put together all kinds of music that I currently like and listen to. My intention was to record a mix that is not restricted to 1 genre, but still everything gels together well. Pretty sure this accomplishes that, with some nice Spring time vibes."

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

The Avenue Red Podcast brings yet another new name to the series as we present the artist, collector, DJ and WarmState Records label boss known as NEZ (real name Amaury Rondon) from Santo Domingo, the 1-million-strong capital city of the Dominican Republic. This is the first time we have featured a DJ from the Caribbean.

The WarmState Podcast recently featured episodes from Avenue Red frontman Alec Pritchard and resident Andy Green. We recognised the strong work going into this label and after some discussions, this killer mix followed from NEZ - a trailblazing, sublimely mixed selection of warm, bouncy, groovy tech house and deep house sounds from the underground.

"Traveling in 1 hour and 16 minutes through a variety of melodic and danceable moments, with a hints of acid, Detroit and dub... the storyline is to chart the evolution through time of the essence of house, techno and electro sounds. Stay safe and enjoy this journey." Amaury Rondon, September 2020
