avus303

avus is the German-motor-racing-inspired pseudonym of choice of Scott Edwards, an accomplished DJ, critically-endorsed producer and Acid House obsessive from Milton Keynes who to date has notched up a considerable tally of releases on a respectable array of tech-flavoured labels that includes Klang Elektronik, Perc Trax, Poodle and of course the good ship Border Community.avus can count himself as one of the Border Communtiy label's founding fathers, pledging his allegiance to the cause as early as release number four (the low-slung bassline action of 'Real'), giving further substance to his declaration with 2007's deliciously raw spinetingler 'Furry Hat', before finally returning to the cuddly community where it all began to deliver the self-assured Moog-soaked joy of his anthemic 'Poppy EP'. avus is also an accomplished DJ with a lengthy UK club pedigree that stretches back to his university days, after his childhood indoctrination into Krautrock at the hands of his trainspotter father morphed into a teenage DJ career playing “Detroit techno, London techhouse, West Coast US grooves, electro, deep house and most importantly all things Acid” to crowds across the south of England). The modern day incarnation of the avus sound is a sophisticated compound of deep house, techno and acid, where hooky basslines meet a well-judged smattering of melody and an insistent recurring 303 motif, which so far has taken him across Europe and onwards to Japan and Mexico as well as enabling him to tick off a lifetime ambition of a residency at London's much-missed The End (at their quarterly Border Community nights) along the way. Living legend and tastemaker extraordinaire Kieran Hebden (of Four Tet fame) is the latest confirmed avus fan to come out of the woodwork, recently inviting him to add his own brand of laidback deep house sparkle to the angelic vocals of One Little Plane's 'Lotus Flower' for Hebden's own Text label. And the avus ranks continue to swell as the viral success of the infectious 'Poppy' leads him onwards to further little DJing adventures across the globe, adding post-rock geniuses Vessels and Traum Schallplatten to his remix tally along the way... http://www.facebook.com/pages/Avus/161799543885372 http://www.myspace.com/avus303 Discography avus - A dark purpose - Midset recordings avus - Real - Border Community avus - Your Body - Poodle avus - Breeder Of Psychosis - Poodle avus - Fancy A - Perctrax avus - Tear - Klang Elektronik avus - Tapeworm E.P. - Perctrax avus - Furry Hat/SPNKR - Border Community avus - Boite Diabolique - Stolen Moments avus - Roots Charger e.p. - Elefant avus - Approach with a Smile - Manual avus - Wanking for Coins (on Pots and Pans e.p.) - Perctrax avus - They Will Come/Nonse Sense - Phobic avus - Poppy e.p. - Border Community avus - Staring Into One Eye E.p. - Shabu Recordings avus - Monterrey Sunrise e.p. - Shabu Recordings avus - Absent Mind - Passive Front avus - Shelltoes e.p. - Passive Front avus - Transformation - Passive Front Remixes James Holden 14u (avus one for the heads mix) exclusive to Global Underground 22 Vinyl - Boxed James Holden 14u (avus one for the DJ's mix) exclusive to Global Underground 22 CD- Boxed Perc - Splashy (avus Splashed remix) - Perctrax Rob Acid - Stars (avus remix) - Barbarella Jesse Somfay - Cygnus Wreath (avus remix) - Manual Music Russian Linesman - Bratislava Story(avus remix) - Undercut Roberto Clementi - Orko(avus remix) - Stolen Moments One Little Plane - Lotus Flower(avus she's singing remix) - Text Vessells - Meatman(avus minty lamb mix) - Cockundoo Axel Helios - Sleeping on an igloo (Avus remix) - Shabu Records Axel Helios - Sleeping on an igloo (Avus acid remix) - Shabu Records Max Cooper - Gravity's Rainbow (avus remix) - Traum Idiot Idols - 2600kw(avus fuzzy techno mix) - Shabu Recordings Birdcage - Atma (avus remix) - Shabu Recordings Christian bachmann - upgrade(avus remix) - Manual Recordings
