Avenue Red

Avenue Red Podcast presents Kindred Music SA (real name Mckai Du Toit), a Cape Town and Johannesburg based artist who grew up in South Africa. He is an artist who enjoys designing and creating interesting atmospheric and ambient melodies and grooves inspired by downtempo, techno and house music. He released his debut album "Exposed" in March of 2021 on his label Pocket Food Audio, and has since featured on platforms such as DeepStitched, Hello Strange, SPACE VIEW X, Slow Sessions and Apnea to name a few.

Kindred Music SA started playing acoustic instruments at an early age, inspired by rock, soul, reggae and jazz from the era of the early 60s up to the late 90s. Later on he developed a passion for the endless possibilities electronic music had to offer, thusly evolving into an electronic music composer, producer, performer and DJ, with an enormous passion.

This session is quite short but very sweet and a refreshing tonic for the day of release, which is the longest day of the year - the summer solstice of 21st June 2023.

Avenue Red proudly welcomes Owain K, the Bristol don of all things deep and co-label boss of Innate (alongside Tom Gilbert). Owain recently played at our Avenue Red event held at The Loco Klub in Bristol in March 2023, which turned into an incredible 4-hour B2B session with Avenue Red frontman Alec Pritchard. It was recorded and released as part of our Live Sessions series (link below) and the response to this collaboration was very positive!

Owain's first studio mix for our main podcast series is as masterful as it is long overdue... it's a seamless, perfectly paced blend of trippy, melodic, grooving deep house & techno. Get it on!

"The recording is my usual mix n' match of sounds - old, new, deep and true... all with a dub flavour in there somewhere. Although probably more from the deep house sphere on this trip than other sets I might play... Big thank you to Alec for being the ever excellent host! 😎 Enjoy!" Owain K, June 2023

The Red dragon on the streets is back to breathe more sonic fire into your hungry, thirsty underground ears of musical lust! This is a sublime mix of trippy, groovy, dubby house/techno perfection from a male & female duo from Perm, Russia. Welcome back to S.Aers, who did a B2B mix with hometown buddy and legendary digger/DJ Alex Volar (link below) for number 186 - and under his wing here be Kris K - a newcomer to the DJ'ing world and this weird little niche of music we seem to co-inhabit. This is such a wicked session, we got it sent over in the midst of the December surge (Avenue Red was sent 16 perfect mixes in 2 days! Trust us... it's all coming out!) and it's exciting this one is finally out! Enjoy crew!

"In the new Avenue Red release we are happy to work together. Kris K & S.Aers (Laconism) from Perm city. Together, we are exploring different forms of Dub Techno sounds, uniting a deep atmosphere and drive. The mix is built around a discerning attention to quality groove and interesting style solutions. Winning combinations." S.Aers & Kris K, June 2023

Avenue Red welcomes the big man from Nice, South of France, Anthony Georges Patrice. An awesome and widely entertaining all-round figure in the deep house/techno fraternity, Anthony runs the Lessenorg radio shows and produces awesome music for some of our favourite labels including his own imprint, Ausblick, when he's not busy spinning around the best clubs in Europe! Now based in Berlin, his club shows at places like Club der Visionäre have bought in some Avenue Red regulars including the likes of OHM str8 outta Copenhagen, with whom Anthony is fast becoming a strong music release cohort... it's so great to see the true underground deep music heads all coming together! :)

This mix is shot straight from the hip for Avenue Red, what a great heads-down, deep grooving session this is! Headphones on, let's do this all in one go.

"Hey there, I'm Anthony Georges Patrice or AGP for space savers. Here's a mix of some stuff that makes my early morning shine. Hope you'll enjoy the ride." Anthony Georges Patrice, May 2023

Long-time Freerotation regular Luke Farey from Westcliff-on-Sea in Essex, England delivers almost 2 hours up in the mix for his debut on Avenue Red! Luke has been a DJ, collector and enthusiast of many, many styles since 1989. As per usual, here we have an unplanned and strictly vinyl-only mix capturing his mood at the time of recording. Never keen on the safe or easy mix, here we have a smorgasbord of feelings, meandering all over the place but somehow cohesively retaining Luke's trademark deep and psychedelic vibe. The Avenue isn't just red today, it's bursting with colour!

Avenue Red presents a fresh, tasty package of divine deepness from Evening Selection - a duo made of Mateusz Szmigiero and Michał Kramar from the Polish capital city of Warsaw. These guys run an excellent radio show on Radio Kapitał, Warsaw (every 4 weeks on Mondays at 21:00 Warsaw time) and have featured some incredible underground guests including Al Bradley, OHM, Lerosa, Seafoam, Thomas Wood, Andu Simion, Tim Jackiw and Verlake among others. They have their guests rolling the cross-genre phat blunts alongside their own incredible, thoughtfully crafted mixes, having also created some excellent concept shows where the duo take advantage of the full 2 hours themselves. Highly recommended listening, educational, even. Find a flaw in this mix and you may need some help. Deep house & techno perfection, delivered.

"This one's been a long-time coming, as they say... having enjoyed many a mix from Avenue Red's coveted back catalogue we felt like this one has got to be special. Given we dig a fairly wide spectrum of what can be described as 'deep 4/4', it was challenging to keep ourselves focused and squeeze in as many different styles and inspirations into roughly 60-70 minutes... a subconscious tribute of sorts to the mix CD format of yore, perhaps?

What you'll find inside is the fruit of a lot of back-and-forth, heated debates and frantic exchanges regarding what tracks we should go for. We also like to think it's a decent representation of what we're listening to and playing - a bit of dubbed-out soundscapes, a side of breaks, a speck of continental minimal, a hint of the Bristolian vibe, some techy stuff from across the pond, the properly cold sound of 90's techno and last but not least, the deeper shade of house. Thinking about it... you could probably get a much better mix out of all the tracks we rejected (think of all the Drexciyan electro!). Then again, that's a really good reason to record another podcast at some point in the future :-)

Put together in Warsaw, on a leisurely-paced mid-week mid-morning in late December '22." Evening Selection, March 2023

Avenue Red presents Hady Saab AKA Sa3b from the Lebanese capital city of Beirut. Hady has rather excitedly made his first forays into the Romanian "Rominimal" sound, a slight departure from his usual stomping grounds in the deep/dub techno fraternity in this laser-focused hour-long mix.

"I have been into electronic music for more than 15 years, spinning tracks from the tech house/minimal house world and charted a path of discovery all the way to my most loved genre - dub techno. Through these years of digging and collecting the finest music that suits my tastes, I have been recording mixes to package up these discoveries and document my own vision of sound.

In the middle of 2022 I decided to start my Beirut Nights volumes of dub techno mixes which have been released on many SoundCloud channels. I have also played on various radio stations/channels all around the world and have been making some great friends and finding lots of new listeners along way of this very fun, very positive journey. All of my mixes in various forms can be found on my SoundCloud page (link below).

This time I decided to release a special selection of deep Rominimal tunes on Avenue Red." Hady Saab, March 2023
