As the spring weather is just starting to arrive; in a glimmer of hope with the sun shining (and some blue skies), I decided to record a dedication to the amazing Smallville Records for the March 2025 Vinyl Sanctuary Sessions podcast. 
Track list will be in the comments. 
Peace! 
Deep House music forever!!

Vinyl Sanctuary Sessions Volume 15 - Smallville Records Germany

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

Avenue Red Podcast #248 - Tomas Bexton

Not quite ambient, not quite club. This mix leans into the in-between space LB Honne carved out—half dreaming, half dancing. The original album floats, but here it glides with intent: transitions stretch, rhythms smudge, and moments you thought were gentle show up with weight. It’s not a reinterpretation, just a different tilt of the head. The future and the past don’t touch—but in this mix, they pass close enough to blur.

Tracklist:
1. musium 
2. viaggio 
3. longing (interlude) 
4. sky funk 
5. come and get me 
6. same again
7. pa ohm 
8. homage to daylight 
9. luv (exit)

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. 

This sonic presentation was more on the deep dubbier side of things with tracks old & new. I hope you enjoy!" Jayson Wynters, July 2025

Avenue Red Podcast #249 - Jayson Wynters

Alessandro Crimi - Deep House Mix - August 2025

The German minimal DJ returns to the spotlight with two hours of artfully subtle house and techno.

There's an old German proverb that goes "Der stete Tropfen höhlt den Stein." Literally, it means a constant dripping wears away the stone, but the point isn't about force but patience: slow, steady repetition can leave the deepest mark. It's an apt metaphor for the career of Kosta Athanassiadis, better known as XDB.

Active since the early '90s, first as a DJ and then producer by the decade's end, Athanassiadis has built a career less on hype than persistence. His catalogue spans labels like Dial, Metrolux and Echocord, alongside a steady trickle of EPs and remixes that have quietly cemented his reputation as one of minimal house and techno's undersung heroes.

That patience carries into his sound and production ethos. Where many of his peers embraced software upgrades and new workflows, Athanassiadis has long stuck to Cubase, a handful of trusty instruments and 30-year-old speakers he claims to have run "hundreds of thousands of tunes" through. He also still prefers to use inexpensive, straightforward gear—what matters, he insists, is not the tools but the feel. The result is a sound that’s stripped back, direct and enduring.

Lately, Athanassiadis has found himself back in focus. With minimal enjoying fresh attention, his calendar has filled, and with it a run of back-to-back sets—most often alongside PLO Man, a regular sparring partner this year. True to form, though, you won't find that his style has changed much. Over 30 years after his first gig, you can rest assured you'll still find him playing with patience, carving out long arcs rather than sharp peaks.

His RA Mix captures him in a reflective mood. Running just over two hours, RA.1003 is a hushed yet absorbing affair, moving seamlessly from the delicate atmospherics of Valentino Mora and Caldera to the machine funk of Robert Hood, Solid Gold Playaz and Marcellus Pittman. There are left turns folded into XDB's patient narrative arc, too: John Carpenter's brooding scores here, DJ Sprinkles' melancholic work with Will Long on "Acid Trax N (Acid Dog)" there.

It's the sound of a DJ who has been quietly chiseling away for three decades, and who understands the value of persistence as much as restraint.
