Avenue Red

Berlin-based Russian-German selector Dmitry Gusev returns for his 8th contribution to Avenue Red, this time again laying down a lot of his favourite oldskool deep house, nu jazz & techno records. Many of his inclusions also happen to be some of our favourite records from that era too. What a tightly mixed, delightfully colourful and heartfelt autumn mixture of vibes we have here!

"Hello all music lovers, I am finally back here spinning the classic trax on the black wax after 5 years since I recorded episode number 165! It was a lot of fun playing the mix. I wanted to play a classic sound from the late 90s and early 2000s. Vincenzo, Needs, Callisto, etc. Enjoy!" Dmitry Gusev, October 2025

Rugon, the official Chugmeister General from Zandvoort (coastal Amsterdam pretty much - same latitude as Kidderminster FYI), is back with more drugged-out, deep, chugging weirdo house & techno music for Avenue Red! This is mix number 5 and counting for us...

"I am happy to only spin vinyl in this journey because it saves me from looking into a screen for everything the whole time. A better kind of focus is thus achieved. The eyes and mind's eye can become dizzy as the ears. A hynotic expression is revealed. Though, I must assure you that there are no subliminal messages contained within this mix, whatsoever. Thank you." Rugon, October 2025

The Avenue Red Podcast hits the quarter of a millennium episode... Enter Nuremberg artist and DJ, Armin Bender.

"So, what can I tell about this mix? It was recorded in my home studio, where I used an Allen & Heath Xone mixer, 2x Technics decks & a CDJ plus a Korg Kaosspad for effects. I selected many new and some older trax with deep and timeless attitude from artists and labels I really like, and I tried to create a flow as I always do. I hope you can feel it... Deepness rules!" Armin Bender, August 2025

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

Damo B brought the Innate boys Owain K and Gilbert up from Bristol to Manchester to help man the music stations @ Eastern Bloc! A wicked night that started with Damo B playing on a loosely B2B tip with Owain as they jointly delivered a smooth vinyl session deluxe, exploring their mad collections of deep, grooving, funky house music with a few techno licks thrown into the mix.

Gilbert then stepped up for a LIVE electronics set, performed off-the-cuff and exclusively composed of his own material. Astonishing music that will make you wish you were there!

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 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 presents another tasty "live from the scene" session recording. Up next we have Jay Bliss (real name Iulian Cazan) from Bucharest, Romaina - IN Bucharest, Romaina. You can tell where it happened and when exactly from the title, ok?... Just read it in the title!... God!! 🙄 Have to explain everything sometimes!! Jeez.

Anyway... Iulian is the man behind prestigious imprints Vade Mecum and Stomping Grounds. He is also an incredible artist, trust us, but we are too tired to list all of it here and we can't face it because there is just so much! Please have a look for yourself and educate yourselves. In this wonderful, spacious, nicely-worked venue in Bucharest he has created a magical 4.5 hours world of music to explore a lot of different styles, genres and variants of electronic music goodness. Steep yourselves in it!

"This live session at Platforma Wolff, set on a Thurday evening, starts with a bit of downtempo and goes into full blown party music! Enjoy 😃" Iulian Cazan, April 2025
