Avenue Red Podcast #060 - Rubsilent

Rubsilent from Istanbul, Turkey takes us on a slow-building trip through his amazing record collection with his 4th contribution to the series, taking us 60 deep. As far as we are concerned, Rubsilent (real name Hamza Solim) is probably the best DJ in the whole world. Fabric, Panorama Bar and other world stages of the underground: we urge you all to take note!

"I must've purchased dozens of records within the past few months but they just sit and collect dust. I hardly record a selection with them because I started to get bored with idea of putting out mixes on a constant basis, I began to feel like it's no different from running around in circles somewhat, you feel your mixes are easily drowned as the internet is over-loaded with music these days.

I keep purchasing the music that I feel on vinyl like always, from bangin' house to acid tracks, deepest house to chunky techno, but I hardly record any new sessions these days. I get to DJ out at clubs here in Istanbul but in order to play proper music for the heads at clubs in town, there has to be some decent afterhours club/small chill out room that's open-minded and receptive enough. The only trouble is you never really get both sides of the coin at one venue/event around here.

So, I decided to come up with a selection where I can set the mood for late nights but that restlessness in my soul made me squeeze some naughty beats here and there too, so here is the latest Avenue Red selection for you! Some dusty deepness or acid traxx from the vault, mixed with fresh purchases of both new and old new records." Hamza Solim, February 2016.
