Great set, my guys!🤞 Thanks for spinning this cut from my Supply/Demand project with my brother, Dan 🙌

Mesmerising! You just made my day. Grateful for this.

Punter & record buyer since 1993, Alastair Kelly is the boss of @lempuyang, a label which has become synonymous for deep house and techno since it's inception in 2021. With 16 releases already under their belt from the likes of Steve O'Sullivan (@stephenos1,) @jszeiter and @mikeschommer, Alastair has curated this 2hr selection - never one to be pigeon holed by style, this set delves into the reaches of ultra deep detroit, acid and deep house.
Stay Rave with #R13!

#165 | Alastair Kelly (UK)

For the month of April's 'Live' mix we welcome 2 legends from the dub techno scene that we were super happy to welcome behind the Eastern Bloc Decks.

First up 'Ohm' (bjarnar jonsson) the Icelandic producer who has been heavily involved within the scene for the past 30 years steps up with releases on some of dub techno's biggest hitters including Thule records, Kontakt, Taped Artifact, Vade mecum, Vuo records and AE Recordings which he co-ran with Octal Industries and Thor from Thule Records. A label owner himself his 'Ohm Series' label has been steadily releasing music since 2021.

Alongside him 'Kvadrant' (Johnny Fredsgaard) a Danish producer who was a resident on the legendary TweakFM, and runs one of the most healthy and well respected dub techno labels out there currently- Kontakt records. With past artists including - Substance, Mike Schommer, Grad_U, Ohm, VRIL, JS Zeiter, Luke Hess & Octal Industries.

I'm sure you'll agree it's a beautifully put-together 4 hours of deep washy goodness.

Some words from Ohm - 
" Myself and Johnny came over to honour an invite from our brothers in Music : Quadrant Soundscape. When we first came the place felt small, a little pub thing, but we felt good, the vibe in there just felt good. The hosts started playing some good tracks, the sound system felt big in such a small place. 

We started and it got packed, in such a way that it felt perfect to play some records for the crowd. I love small clubs with big systems and Eastern Bloc was the real deal. Four hours we played, one record at a time and the mood and vibe just kept building. Lots of happy people listening and dancing, it felt surreal and I would do it over and over again. "

We hope you enjoy

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

This week's Far Blue concept is crafted by the four friends of the UK-based collective and record label, Simpler Times. This one has been long in the making, and the final result is a truly special mix.

‘Reflections Of Things To Come’ is a carefully crafted hour long journey that showcases Simpler Times take on the Far Blue concept. It is inspired by the idea of reflecting on the past while dreaming of the future.

‘We wanted to do something special for this mix, so we decided to record a set made up of unreleased Simpler Times music. We’ve included some older unreleased stuff that has never seen the light of day before alongside some brand new music we produced especially for the mix. We wanted to combine the old with the new to mirror the concept of the mix.’

'What lies between memories and dreams?'

A Far Blue concept by Simpler Times - 'Reflections Of Things To Come'

Legs 11 from the Icelandic powerhouse that is Jónas Þór Guðmundsson. Jónas was kind enough to mix this in a Teddy Bear costume to make himself 38% less threatening. Make this the soundtrack to your family Easter gathering, and keep your eyes peeled for a remix 12" of 2023's Northwest Passage album, coming this Summer.

Precept 048 | Andy Green

Hot off the back of last week's ludicrously good set from Octal Industries come Danish duo Merv. Since the 2015 repress of two of their Dancecop classics, Jan & Brian have released tracks on the likes of Vade Mecum, Ranges, Kontakt & Ohm Series. This year they join lempuyang with a forthcoming remix, and a track for the next annual V/A 'Pura' compilation

Quadrant Soundscape presents In Focus 007

The 7th instalment of our In:Focus Series places the spotlight on a very specific point in time - The Early Deepchord records years.

In the late 1990s the Deepchord record label was co-founded by Rod Modell & Mike Schommer in Detroit, Michigan. After just four years and achieving far more success than initially anticipated, DeepChord Records wound down operations. For this In Focus we want to concentrate specifically on the work that Rod and Mike did before they disbanded.

Across the Dub Techno scene the name Deepchord carries the highest of gravitas. Elite level quality, and considered by many to be, alongside Basic Channel, the blueprint of the genre.

So much has been written about Deepchord over the years, and we're not here to repeat what's been said (you can check out a great interview with Mike from a few years ago here - inn8.net/interview-with-mike-schommer-deepchord/ ), we're here to celebrate the music and we hope that through this session we have done that.
