on a mind bender with Avl.126
Animaux - “This one is for the hours that blur into morning. Meandering through a wide range of tempos from some low-slung 110s to 150 peak time energy. Hope you enjoy!”

Spring is upon us and we thought it time to revitalise our playlist. @atlas.avl has curated the twenty track lineup and here are a few of our highlights:
1. Swayzak & Benjamin Zephaniah providing an introduction to the cross pollination of dub and electronica.
2. A deep and darker number called Veranus Bitter by Italian house veteran Tuccillo.
3. Cuffy & Leon D with this snapshot of house coming out of New Zealand in the early 2000s.

London-based PIR in session for Avl.125 with this simmering take.
@amirsabir - “Put this together off the back of fabric x Guesthouse & toi.toi afters.
Still replaying the weekend in my head. The way everything moved across every set all weekend stayed with me, the level of curation and music quality throughout felt completely dialled in.
Found records I hadn’t seen in over a decade, which naturally led me back into old folders and some of the ways I used to mix. Interesting seeing and hearing how much my approach has changed over the years, whilst dipping back into that mixing style a little bit and keeping things rolling for an hour.”

One of the @yuk__________ boys Keegan brings us Avl.124 showing what the Leeds party starters are all about ahead of their next event with Reptant and Free Zing.
Keegan - “I recently had the pleasure of joining the band @garageflower.band on their Europe tour. Other than driving, I spent my time in record shops & this mix (barring a couple) is me jumping through what I found. I’ve put focus into some progressive breaks (bedrock) and anything 2000s proggy-tinged. Hope it can inspire you to pull out that big breaks edit you always avoid :) , 🫶.”

This week we have the talented @offpeak_aly.p serving up Avl.123 in style.
Aly P - ‘This mix is a blend of the sounds I like to play around with. Some dubby basslines, steady grooves, warm rolling tech house all and a few stripped back minimal selections. I love an atmospheric track so there are some spacey vocals here and there. I try not to put myself in a box with music, so this moves through different corners of house and minimal in a way that feels natural to me.’

@brogan__dj steps up once again with a mix full of top tier cuts.
Brogan - ‘Clinging onto the end of club season with this moody mix before we head into the longer warmer days and the parties that come with them. This was the first one in a while where I’ve just let it go with the flow, from Egyptian Lover to Shonky, Omni A.M. to Bobby. Warping electro vibes throughout, some slower paced moments amongst chunkier dancefloor tracks, this one feels very me.’

It’s been a while but @atlas.avl is back with Avl.121 to round off the month.
At:las - ‘Been recording a load of sessions over the past few months and this is one I’m really happy with. A blend of a few different moods and soundscapes. Tracks from Berlin veteran Dana Ruh and Cabinet Records regular Compass. Tracklist and clips inside. Enjoy!’

A regular around these parts, and not one to be boxed in, Pip delivers Avl.120 with a stellar blend of house tracks for that Friday feeling.
Pip - ‘This mix is the calm after the storm from playing Idra in Manchester, featuring sounds that have calmed my brain down since! Proggy house with a splash of acid to get you in the headspace for the weekend.’

A Bristol local and vinyl head @tilyyates brings us into March and a step closer to those hazy summer days.
Bob YT - “Firstly thank you to the crew at Avalon who invited me to do a mix!
Here it is! Recorded live, with a few rough edges left in. ‘Raw round the edges, heavy on the soul’ sums it up perfectly and feels true to my style. It’s deep and soulful house/disco, with a mix of recent finds and old favourites. I play vinyl and fully embrace the imperfections — and I’m proud to share music from across the globe and let the groove speak for itself.
Party on wayne.”

It’s a pleasure to have @sakersdj contributing to the series this week with Avl.117. Dreamy soundscapes and selections in equal measure.
Sakers - ‘A mix of my favourite sounds - deep, groovy and percussive. Meanders through long blends from new to old and back again, with tracks from some long time favourites like QRTR, and recent discoveries from Cabinet Records. Floaty, other-worldly, or something like that.’

Nothing pedestrian about this one. A health amount of tunes and chat from our resident purveyor of quality sound @animaux.uk
Animaux - ‘It has been a hot minute since I last touched the decks due to a variety of real life reasons, so it’s a joy to record and reminisce in the core vibe of the dance music I like. Pictured is the setup where the magic happens, enjoy!’
