Avenue Red Podcast #243 - Olly Godfrey

Avenue Red

Stockport-based Preston lad Olly Godfrey steps up for his debut mix for the Avenue Red Podcast with a stunning CD-length session of deep house and grooving 4/4 dancefloor fodder. We attest that this guy knows how to select and glue records together alright, as we had the pleasure of hearing him spin a head-warping set last summer at a 40th birthday party at the lovely venue named 33 Oldham Street in central Manchester (guess the address?!). That was a wildly uptempo & techy affair, but here he demonstrates his maturity as a DJ with a calmer, slower and more down to earth pure house music vibe. "I haven't really played many events worth mentioning, mainly just smaller parties and gatherings with friends over the years, plus the occasional radio show. I started DJing at 16 and I turn 40 this year. I started out going to events like Gatecrasher and Cream, then slowly going to more house and techno nights such as Tribal Sessions and Bugged Out!. These all had a strong influence on my sound. This mix for Avenue Red brings together some of my favourite sounds - dreamy, Italo and groovin' house music. It's a reflection of the music I'd want to hear if I'd just walked into a club and onto the dancefloor... enjoy!" Olly Godfrey, January 2025 https://soundcloud.com/technokid85
