Avenue Red Podcast #046 - Luger

The 46th Avenue Red Podcast installment comes from Luger (real name Dorin Croitoru) from Bucharest, the sprawling capital city of Romania. Luger is a friend and musical peer of Profet, the man behind that awesome 17th installment in our series (https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red/podcast-017-profet). Through their events platform Chameleon and various other happenings at Bucharest’s Control Club, Luger and Profet have played alongside some incredible global acts, as Luger states himself: “We are working on bringing artists that we respect and are close to the directions we feel we must take in regards with our visions of quality music. Our last guest was XDB and in the past we brought over Marcellus Pittman, Hakim Murphy, John Heckle and Paul du Lac to mention a handful. I'm a regular at Control either with local players and movers on the scene or in supporting acts for control guest DJ’s such as Even Tuell, Ulf Eriksson, Legowelt, Gunnar Haslam, DJ TLR and so on”.

This mix is an incredibly smooth and dynamic mixture of eerie, trippy ambient soundscapes; curiously introspective moments; hypnotic minimal tracks and also some beautifully crafted melodic tracks too… it’s something that you can really lose yourself in and then re-find yourself an hour later after the silence has begun.

“The first thing that comes to mind about how this mix came out is balance. A podcast is a great opportunity to stop researching music outside of the box and concentrate on what is already inside the collection. The process of finding pieces of a jigsaw that fit perfectly and crafting a spot, a shape or a space for something else or around something is one of the best ways of getting a deeper knowledge and understanding of the music that lured you in. The way you map it all out is where the DJ shows their true creative edge.” Dorin Croitoru, August 2015
