Alec Pritchard DJ Mixes

Nietzsche Lessons reaches double figures with a very thoughtful and contemplative mix from another good friend in the world of music and the art of DJ'ing... enter veteran digger and collector, Tomas Bexton. "I have been thinking about doing a Nietzsche Lessons session for Alec for quite a while now and have finally managed to record something. It was important to me that this mix would fit, as th...

Nietzsche Lessons is back once again with a fresh eclectic mix, the first of '26, this time with a funking fun mix full of hip-hop classics and favourites, mixed by artist and DJ/collector Paracas Topara from Bristol! All vinyl, with a 'lil bit of the old wicki-wicki-waah-waah thrown in for good fucking measure, just to help vibe it up and all that... "This mix was put together following the inspi...

Cenk Akyol from Istanbul, Turkey delivers another CD-length live session of his carefully chosen, introspective vinyl selections for Nietzsche Lessons. This follows on from episode 5, which we released in July 2022. "A smooth trip down the avenue of sound, where feeling fine never ends." Cenk Akyol, November 2025 https://soundcloud.com/cenkakyol "The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As...

One of several sets I played at the awesome Bar 25th in Belgrade, Serbia 🇷🇸, an underground music bar/club that sits on the right bank of the Sava River at the confluence point with the Danube River. This one was recorded outside by the river bank for sunset. I later played a set inside the club but it was not recorded.

I tried to upload this a long time ago, closer to when it was recorded yet it could not poke through the canopy of weeds... SoundCloud had a very harsh punitive system of nuking anything that started with any detectable copyrighted tune (quite rarely the case for me so almost all other mixes were unaffected). Now things are relaxed I thought I would attempt to upload it again, bloody 15 years on!...

Just a lil' bit of loosey-goosey wicki-wicki wahhh-wahhh on the trusty Technics SL-1210MK5 1's & 2's. This was done expressly in order to hear some nice music songs back to myself... music songs which are in my collection of vinyl records because I had bought each of them at various times in the past. Having pressed the record button on my trusty high resolution audio recorder device before I star...

Mixed especially for Dianne... a spontaneous vinyl mix of fine deep house music to provide a backdrop for the warm, easy-breezy moments of summer 2024 - https://soundcloud.com/dianne-connah 01 The Truth - Unknown Call // Laws Of Motion (1998) 02 Oscar - Brazil 2030 (St. Barth Mix) // Clear Cuts (2000) 03 Andrés - Reality // Mahogani Music (2003) 04 Oscar - Brazil 2030 (Korben Dallas Sense Remix) /...

More than 10 years after the previous episode number 08, the Cement Mixer has resumed its churning. Manchester selector Wilson Logan of Quadrant Soundscape / Dub Explorations gets busy loading it up! "If this were a film there would be a cut scene that says “10 years later”. It's not a film so there is no cut scene. It is still 10 years later however and I have the honour of refuelling the mixer a...

Mixed especially for Dianne... a spontaneous vinyl mix of fine music to accompany the last moments of summer 2023 for a girl on a beach in The Algarve, Portugal - https://soundcloud.com/dianne-connah 01 Mateo & Matos - Rainbow // Henry Street Music (1995) 02 Natural Rhythm - Something Big // Under The Counter (1999) 03 Ian Pooley - Balmes // V2 (2000) 04 Aqua Bassino - Jay's Vibes // F Communicati...

Avenue Red regular Gusev from Berlin via St. Petersburg, Russia made a strong coffee, grabbed a bag of fine house & techno records and laid it down for an explosive, impulsive, party poppin' Nietzsche Lessons episode! Spring grooves, straight from the heart. "My main idea was that the mix should sound like a trip or like a flight. I hope it worked! Every mix for me is like a short life. You have t...

Top class gentleman, DJ and Distant Worlds label owner from South London - Paul Rimbaud - has joined the philosophical ride, enticing us into his inner sanctum with an expressive mix of 90's vibes rave & breaks action. The "matchball" he refers to below is to get a mix onto my new Nietzsche Lessons series, Avenue Red and Avenue Red 1210 - the only man in the known universe to do so, so far. And he...

Me: "Hello! Thanks for sending. Really nice selection. I would love to put this one onto my personal page series that I started during lockdown times. For me, this is the perfect next edition: Cenk Akyol - Nietzsche Lessons 005" Cenk: "Dear Alec, glad you've liked the mix as well as I have. As we are in the mid-summer, filled with plenty of sunshine and the joy of getting together and socialising,...

Alec Pritchard & Wilson Logan - Live @ F L ō K Bar, Manchester (VINYL ONLY) (11-12-2021) by Alec Pritchard

Alec played some more songs from his record collection at F L ō K. @f-l-o-k

A CD-length kaleidoscopic DJ mix composed of a wide range of musical styles. Introspective, often relaxing music with trippy atmospheres, challenging themes and thought-provoking, juxtaposed selections. This is my musical freedom of expression zone. "It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!" - Friedrich Nietzsche Picture taken at Deansgate Square Tow...

House music all night long. Forgive the mixing, one deck has issues with the pitch control... got new parts to fix the issues now so should improve after I've sorted it :D

Made while setting up for the first time and hijacking the soundsystem! Wasn't able to focus 100% with a lot going on, fiddling with the booth setup and meeting new people etc. but some nice music was played for sure. The right deck there is fucked, any pitch adjustments make the platter go back to -8% momentarily (you hear that defect from time to time)... I'll fix that deck! Was a battle to keep...

Finally I found the inspiration to make a 3rd episode for Nietzsche Lessons! I'm back with more blissful, thoughtful musical introspection. From trip-hop to chillout, from liquid drum & bass to IDM and all kinds of weirdness in-between. "When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you." - Friedrich Nietzsche Picture taken from my balcony in Castlefield, Manchester. ===== 01 Medway - Slo...

Vinyl-only mix session recorded especially for the Sonus Discis crew in Bucharest, Romania, circa-2014. It focuses on some house, techno and electro music that has been very inspirational for me as a youngster, along with a few more recent cuts. **Note: This is a re-upload as Sonus Discis seems to have stopped hosting mixes on their SoundCloud page.** @sonusdiscis ===== 01 Herbert - Banquet (Herbe...

Well, it's now officially a series because there is a second episode. And already my friends are getting involved! I am pleased to present Álfbeat, a lady with a very interesting music mind whose mixes are endlessly eclectic and she sounds unlike anyone else I have heard... she comes from Reykjavik, capital city of Iceland and features a lot of odd, intriguing music from her homeland. This is her...

Over the last 2 years I have been subject to several stages of totally colossal life changes. It has been hard to focus on music, even though I have continued digging and love it as ever. Music has been my lifeblood and given me a sense of meaning since I was a kid. A platform upon which I had a sense of purpose to exist. I started to DJ after my dad died when I was really young (1997). I had alre...

I played some records. The vibe is all about optimism and hope.

Just before all my records and decks went into storage for an ice cold winter of musical action for me personally, I made this one-shot mix with 2 random record bags full of old cherished pieces (1995-2003 mostly) that were lying around in my house for just one evening. It was one last chance to have a mix until I sell my house and get a bigger one with a dedicated "deck room", though who knows ho...
