Artisan Dub Soup I 

This is the 1st of a new series of guest mixes to concentrate on the textures and flavours of dub techno.  The sounds and genre will always have a place on this cloud but, remarkably, I have never curated a dedicated series. I look ahead to sharing recordings from friends and producers from its community in the months ahead.  

Setting sail with a gorgeous and elegantly mixed set from Armin Bender who has followed the evolution of this genre for 30 or more years.  Armin is also a talented producer and previously released on Greyscale, Vuo and Splnch labels.

Artisan Dub Soup I - Armin Bender

Artisan Dub Soup III

Noticeable tingles in my toes to have this series galvanised with a sweetly mixed, pro selection from Alastair Kelly of Lempuyang, and long time friend from the original discogs community.  A stellar, progressive set of top shelf dubby nodders and groovers, graced with luscious vocals. And of course ....always an education from a scholar of the genre - thanks AEK!

Artisan Dub Soup III - Alastair Kelly

His influence is unparalleled; a vinyl only dedication to one of my favourite DJ's and a genius musical producer of electronic and deep house music. 
Welcoming with love: Move D….

Vinyl Sanctuary Sessions Volume 16 - Move D Tribute

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

Avenue Red Podcast #247 - Chris Curtis

It is nearly impossible to get invited into the lodge of the Castafarian Keepers. Only the members of privileged orders or fearless warriors may find their names amongst the honored guests. However, there are rare purification sessions that summon musical healers — their role is to prepare the sensory environment for meditative practice.

It all begins with gentle swaying, as the local elders begin the process of mana restoration. The enchanting ritual continues until the rhythmic vortexes subside. This time, Ioann Texture has been requested to guide the ceremony. Behind closed doors, the chosen are gathering to taste the brew made from ancient ingredients, share experiences of telepathic communion, and call upon the Great Mind to protect their lands.
