Avenue Red Podcast 145 comes from Iva Arifaj, a Belgrade DJ who is currently based in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. After Iva approached us, we quickly noticed that she had previously just made a mix for Alessandro Crimi & S&ro's Waehlscheibe podcast! An excellent mix that is, check it here: https://soundcloud.com/waehlscheibe/waehlscheibe-podcast-012-iva-arifaj
Iva takes over the Avenue Red sound system with a gracious flow though minimal, smoked out, film noir vibes via 4/4 & breaks selections that are constantly juxtaposed between the melodic and the hypnotic. Lots of shadowy, dark and twisted elements help give the mix a theme of its own, which is perfect for the long, atmospheric wintery nights.
"Hello, I am introducing myself first of all as a huge lover of quality sound and music. Exploring every day a little bit further and grabbing every opportunity to expand my musical taste, open my ears for something new.
I’ve been following Avenue Red for quite some time and admire the variety of styles in the podcast series. I am really glad to have the chance to represent myself here. This mix inspired me to dig deeper, seek the darker side of the underground. I really enjoyed traveling through this journey... I hope you will too." Iva Arifaj, December 2019
