Yoyaku instore session with Shaun Soomro

Stockport-based Preston lad Olly Godfrey steps up for his debut mix for the Avenue Red Podcast with a stunning CD-length session of deep house and grooving 4/4 dancefloor fodder. We attest that this guy knows how to select and glue records together alright, as we had the pleasure of hearing him spin a head-warping set last summer at a 40th birthday party at the lovely venue named 33 Oldham Street in central Manchester (guess the address?!). That was a wildly uptempo & techy affair, but here he demonstrates his maturity as a DJ with a calmer, slower and more down to earth pure house music vibe.

"I haven't really played many events worth mentioning, mainly just smaller parties and gatherings with friends over the years, plus the occasional radio show. I started DJing at 16 and I turn 40 this year. I started out going to events like Gatecrasher and Cream, then slowly going to more house and techno nights such as Tribal Sessions and Bugged Out!. These all had a strong influence on my sound.

This mix for Avenue Red brings together some of my favourite sounds - dreamy, Italo and groovin' house music. It's a reflection of the music I'd want to hear if I'd just walked into a club and onto the dancefloor... enjoy!" Olly Godfrey, January 2025

Avenue Red Podcast #243 - Olly Godfrey

Its a warm Sunday evening in Wales and XDB is doing his thing on the stage outside which as per usual is inspiring. As 20:30 appraoches I make my way into room 3 where I'll be making my 3rd Freero appearance as a DJ and the nerves kick in a little. I greet the staff on production, set myself up and do a soundcheck. 

All is well but also all the feelings of an imminent pre-gig mindset of a DJ start to surface which is to be expected as this is one of the best festivals in the UK, and not to mention the last time I played in this room I closed up shop after Jennifer Mayanja which was challenging due to the heatwave we had that weekend which caused the equipment to overheat. 

In any case this is a fresh slate and I am ready to go. I am opening up proceedings before Leah Floyeurs & Alex Downey whom are both great DJs... so again no pressure right? 

The brief from Steevio was pretty simple... keep it Deep/Soulful and Jazzy so I did my best to stay within those parameters over the 1 hour and 45 min I had been given. 

The time whizzed by and I thoroughly enjoyed every min of playing in that room building it up & seeing the people getting lost in the music. 

I hope you enjoy xc

Electronic Convergence - Verdant Session - January 2025

MLD Compilation 2025 "Moments Of Light 'n Darkness"

This set brings together about three quarters of the tracks from the wonderful MLD compilation.  Given time contraints I couldnt include all, but i feel this highlights a diversity of sounds and styles of music within the dub techno space that the compilation showcases.    Without the artists names associated (and there are many of the genre's well know producers) the focus shifts to the music alone.

also AV version here: https://youtu.be/GkOYP__EPs8?si=Us6SUm5a0wsBV9aM

The compilation previews  a live event in form of an intimate open air festival called "MLD goes live" to take place  in August 2025 near Berlin.  Many of the artists in that two part compilation will perform at this event – so I hope to see you all there!

MLD Verdant [M i X]

When we first heard @mattiaselmansouri we knew there was something special going on. On our sister-label Aniara Recordings we released his debut 𝙏𝙟𝙖 𝙃𝙚𝙟 𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙢, and last year we published his downright anthem 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚. Mattias is set for a busy, gig-filled summer and will also come to play our own Festival on June 28 in Rotterdam. Get to know Mattias better through the Q&A below, which we will be adding to every mix going forward.

𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆?
I grew up in this tiny village called Skene, in the southwest of Sweden. I grew up in a very religious and sheltered community, but after finding love and a new purpose in life, I left my ”old life” and relocated to Stockholm around five years ago. I started collecting records quite early on in my teens, as well as making music, but it wasn’t until I relocated to Stockholm that I started playing out and releasing music.

Right now, besides trying to finish some tracks and escaping this creative rut I’m in, I’m currently enrolled in an internship at a small start-up in Stockholm, doing UX design, and I’m set to graduate this summer. I’m kinda super stressed about my future as a designer, given that all jobs out there are only looking for designers with a hundred years of experience, so if any hiring manager reads this: hire me!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴/𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴?
I’ve been producing music for around eight years, and I have been DJ-ing for around six. I started collecting records when I was 16, and my first vinyl record was given to me by a dear friend of mine whom I sadly have lost contact with. It was Octahedron by The Mars Volta.

𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸/𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆?
Sniff’n The Tears – Driver’s Seat
Love Spirals Downwards – Alicia
Martha Wash – Carry On (Tee’s Crazy Mix)

𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁-𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗯𝘀?
I would really love to visit Waking Life and Dekmantel/Dekmantel Selectors! They have always seemed like really nice festivals, with really well-thought-out programming and ambition. And of course, Nous’klaer Festival, which I’m beyond happy to be playing at this year! 💙

𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄, 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼?
My boyfriend for being so supportive!
My friend Sergej, with whom I run the club Ritmo Liminal. I always have such a nice time B2B-ing with him, and I don’t think I would have developed so much as a DJ if it weren’t for all the hours we’ve spent in the booth together.
Johanna Schneider! Stockholm’s hardest-working woman in showbiz and a promoter of Under Bron/Trädgården, a.k.a. the best club in Stockholm. Johanna is a real cutie who has given me and Ritmo Liminalso many opportunities to do my/our thing there, which is something I don’t take for granted at all.

𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲/𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼?
I was around 15 when an older friend of mine played Model 500’s "Neptune" on his surround system at home. I think that was the moment I got hooked on what I later realized was techno.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗯𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀?
I don’t know, really.

What gets me going on the dance floor has less to do with a specific sound or genre and more to do with what a DJ does with them. My favorite DJs are the ones who know how to traverse genres, tempos, and moods—or those who can truly squeeze everything out of the genre they specialize in.
I do, however, sometimes miss hearing really good ‘90s vocal house, proper deep tribal techno, and more "selector"-y things out.
