After an unusual 3-year gap, Alessandro Crimi is back at Avenue Red HQ once again, marking himself as one of the lords of the deep underground. This fresh 2025 mix is to show us his latest updated maps and mathematical models of a specific realm of the Universal space-time continuum... here, he presents what he describes as: deep, atmospheric and futuristic electro. Let's explore.

Avenue Red ushers in another new year's feast of deepness with a fresh debut mix from Adrià Duch - an artist, DJ & producer based in Barcelona. Adrià has released music on some of the finest proper underground labels including: Apnea Label; Insectorama; Chikyu-u Records; Greyscale; ECOUL SND; Lempuyang; Crossfade Sounds; Piranha Siberia Dub; Citrica Records; Melotonin; Slope Point; ODrex Music... and there are many more imprints graced as his production catalogue traces back to somewhere pre-2012. But damn it, to what length will this list stretch to being in another 5-10 years time?!

So yes, Adrià has created tons of seriously amazing material that is moody, creative in arrangements and demonstrates his very special awareness of, and skill in handling the heavy sonic details in the low-end bassy frequencies. Wanna hear him DJ? Recline. It's all going to be fine.

"I want to thank Alec for giving me this opportunity. I have to say that I consider myself first a producer and then a DJ. I obviously like to play music and I am always excited to collect vinyl, whether it be LPs or 12"s. I am a lover of dub techno - always have been! I make dubby-oriented music under my own name but for this mix I wanted it to be eclectic. I also enjoy many other genres in the electronic music scene.

This is a vinyl-only set that starts very deep and pleasant, continues with some jacking house to move your body and ends up with pure darkness. It's basically tracks I've been digging lately and other favourites I own. This mix became an inspiration to me also." Adrià Duch, January 2025

The Avenue Red Podcast is here to deliver the final release of 2024 as we welcome a debut mixtape from DJ/artist/producer Sveta Pavlova AKA Svetiritm from Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Sveta has some mad production skills and has showcased them on Alessandro Crimi & Sandro Isler's Waehlscheibe imprint with her awesome, ridiculously hypnotic Teleport EP from earlier in 2024... this pick being just the tip of the iceberg of top tracks and mixes released across the board of underground beacons of truth & light we keep our eyes and ears upon. She also goes a step further, creating and delivering full audio-visual performances at some events, so we clearly have an adventurous full-package artist on show here! Get ready for an intense, explosive session.

"I just want to send peace and love for everyone 🙏🏻 I'm glad to record a mix for Avenue Red and be close to such legendary DJs. UK music has always inspired me and my friends, especially sounds coming from the city of Bristol! Enjoy the vibes." Sveta Pavlova, December 2024

Avenue Red welcomes the second coming of the Athens-based Greek dub techno philosopher, DJ & artist known to those who know as Substak. Kostas Staikos, to those who do not. Here he administers another dose of his trademark wild interplanetary deepness that is sure to enamour the ears of those who see the world in a red tint, precisely 1,992 days after the last transmission.

"I was born in Athens and began producing in 2011 to escape a bit from real life. Till today I have released on various labels and this journey will continue. No words, no rules... let the music speak!" Kostas Staikos, 2024

Istanbul-based beacon of musical taste and exquisite curatorship, and provider of a bit of mixtape action here and there for Avenue Red, we welcome Cenk Akyol back for his third contribution for us.

Sure, it's no surprise... An amazing eye for photography; a discerning taste for music; an ocean of black wax documentation in his home; a bloodhound for fine wines... Smokey film-noir vibes abound. Blaze up the room, set the scene. Get some mates around. *This mix was approved for release by the Turkish mafia.*

"Another recording, far away from the dictate of the dogmatic obligation to the currentness that DJs have to face nowadays, celebrates dance music as a timeless sensual component. Without becoming even remotely anachronistically sentimental, I chose landmarks of house & techno from my very own archive." Cenk Akyol, November 2024

The Avenue Red Podcast engine has been reignited after a small-but-healthy hiatus! Here we present an impulsive, slick vinyl mix from Barcelona-based DJ & artist Giancarlo Puigbó, who is originally from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

"First of all, thanks for the opportunity! I heard about this platform from my friend NEZ, who has released multiple mixes here. I've been a big fan ever since - just great music, plain and simple.

This mix was really just an impromptu session where I went with the flow - no planning, just having fun! It's something I really missed doing. There are a few mistakes here and there, but as said in one of Ron Trent's records: 'Without error, there can be no brilliancy.' - FACT!" Giancarlo Puigbó, November 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

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 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
