Under the auspices of his Avision moniker, up-and-coming New York bred/New Jersey based technocrat Anthony Cardinale has been tearing it up in 2016. Championing a style that’s dark but inherently funky, he’s released tracks on his uncle Victor Calderone’s Waveform Recordings and Coyu’s Suara. His recent Freak Zone EP for Mark Broom’s Beard Man label opened his evolving sound to an even bigger audience and was one of August’s most charted releases by our count. Cardinale shows the mixing prowess he’s brought to Pacha NYC (RIP), Cielo, Surf Club, Flash Factory and Output on Big Shot Guest Mix 321, an 12-track session featuring choice tunes by Roman Lindau, Mr. G, TWR72 and Robert Hood.
“Going into this mix I really tried to play tracks that have the peaks and breaks of a long set,” Cardinale says. “With a short set it’s challenging to get your point across. But I feel with the track selection I picked; the set flows like a journey. It’s always easy to play bomb after bomb, but more of a challenge to play tastefully in a short period of time.”
