Moving on from the last fine installment of the Avenue Red Podcast by Exos in Reykjavik, Iceland, we travel to another capital city in the opposite corner of Europe for this new addition. For number 017, we have a very interesting mixture of Detroit-tinged deep house records from a DJ from Bucharest, Romania who goes by the name of Profet. We first noticed Profet from a recent promo mix he put out for his Bucharest-based agency Sonus Discis, and we know quality when we hear it. With a confident swagger through distinctly jazzy and techy swathes of house music with a rich musicality, Profet has a really unique way of smoothly shifting through the gears and gets a really good eclectic vibe going in his sets. This mix for Avenue Red is no exception.
He plays regularly at prolific gigs in the Romanian capital, most notably for the Chameleon parties for which he is a resident at the prestigious Control club. He has played alongside some world-renowned underground DJ's including: Even Tuell; Scott Grooves; Marcellus Pittman; Hakim Murphy; John Heckle and FUNKINEVEN to name a few. Also worth noting - Profet along with his friend and Chameleon co-resident Luger have busily amalgamated a hardware-only setup and are staring down the barrels of production work too, so this is yet another staple in the burgeoning Romanian music scene to look out for! We are very pleased to have his contribution to our series as here he demonstrates a really unique and fresh approach to constructing a story with pure wax.
"A selection of special, beloved tracks that I love to play. I don't think in terms of 'house' or 'techno'... I just think the only criteria should be 'good music!'" Profet, June 2014
