As you may have guessed from our end of year polls, we’re quite the fans of Daniel Avery here at DT towers. One of the few acts in recent years to come to prominence as a DJ before being recognized as the talented producer that he is known as today we’ve enjoyed watching him rapidly win an ever increasing number of since he delivered an exclusive podcast for us back at the start of 2012 .
Taking influences from the greatest risk takers on the decks such as Andrew Weatherall and Erol Alkan, the fabric resident fuses indie sensibilities with house, techno, post punk and new wave to create a sound that’s wholly his own, weaving together superb DJ sets wherever he plays.
Anyhoo, you can now imagine just excited we’ve been in the office (and just how many times we’ll be rinsing this mix on our speakers at home) when we heard that Daniel had recorded a new essential mix for BBC Radio 1. That’s the next 2 hours sorted then…
