Avenue Red presents Wellbeck, a top quality creator and purveyor of deep, dubbed out house and techno sounds. This mix is an expertly crafted, almost shamanic trip through all manner of moody, dark, industrial soundscapes, underpinned with solid grooves all the way. "My name is Lev Golikov AKA Wellbeck. I was born in the south of Russia, Krasnodar city to be precise. With my friend I recorded seve...

For Avenue Red Podcast 137 we welcome Amsterdam selector Micha Lensink, who has delivered a vinyl-only mix of grooving dancefloor-friendly 4/4 records. The label "tech house" has been grotesquely misappropriated over the past decade, however in the case of this mix it's the perfect description for the selection of sounds featured. Micha boldly joins the dots between disparate tracks with a variety...

For this instalment of the Avenue Red Podcast we welcome Caillou, a Parisian music collector, DJ and organiser of events with his Chateau Chépère crew.

Here De Yan takes us through a tripping, grooving 4/4 wonderland of freaky tech...

We are proud to present a mix from a long-time friend of Avenue Red, Berlin-based Cathy Daniëls.

Lithuanian DJ Liepu Saloj is back with another feast of deep, mesmerising techno, house, breaks, electro and IDM sounds for Avenue Red.

For this next Avenue Red Podcast episode we are keeping the Icelandic connection strong as we present the new Reykjavik wonderkid known as Waage.

Avenue Red legend Alessandro Crimi is back to show us his new ways and visions in deep swinging techy house and breaks. We think he has conjured one of his hottest selections to date here.

My intention was to record a mix that is not restricted to 1 genre, b...

Potswana is London-based record collector/DJ Sam Potter, whose new mix was sent to AR-HQ on strong recommendation of the ever-trustworthy Mancunian, Rikki Humphrey (@slickyrik).

For Avenue Red Podcast episode 124 Sam has laid down a raw and r...
