avas' debut ep 'data' was born in her bedroom, yet designed to be played out in the club. The 22-year-old Chicago-based Avelina DeCandia, known to her friends as Ava, has been meticulously constructing club-ready tracks and dj tools over the past couple years while drifting to and from Minneapolis, Chicago and Vancouver, BC. 'data' embraces the euphoria of club music, it beckons listeners to surrender to its immersive experience, best enjoyed amidst the throbbing bass and communal energy of a colossal sound system.

Each track within 'data' pulsates with a refined, stripped-down sound that looks toward the future, enveloped by resonant kick drums and dreamy soundscapes that evoke nostalgia for early "deconstructed club" music and its influences from jersey club, ballroom, trap, chicago house and techno.

The EP features collaborations from Auckland, NZ-based vocalist, producer and club music visionary 'jhl' (Soul Feeder, Tabula Rasa) and Chicago-based experimental pop darling and frequent collaborator 'plastic pet' (Deskpop, Unseelie) who both lend their vocals and production to the mix.

As avas' debut offering, 'data' is an embodiment of the unity and collaboration felt throughout electronic music that transcends geographical boundaries whether there be either thousands of miles or just a couple feet between.

Late night feeling like a rockstar
Next day i feel like a loner
Well, it cuts into the bone when i know it's over
They say that i won't go far
In being a rock and roller
Well, the dog days disappear when it's over

Late night feeling like a rockstar
Next day i feel like a loner
Well, it cuts into the bone when i know it's over
They say that i won't go far
In being a rock and roller
Well, the dog days disappear when you're older

Late night feeling like a rockstar
Next day i feel like a loner
Well, it cuts into the bone when i know it's over
They say that i won't go far
In being a rock and roller
Well, the dog days disappear when you're dead

When I hear you scream for me and say my name
In a couple years of time, will you remember mine?
In a couple hundred lifetimes, will you pay it up (pay it up)
On my grave and will you throw your roses into mine
When I ask to throw your hands will you throw it up? (throw it up)
When I'm asking you to dance, will you throw it back?
When I ask you to forget, will you let it go?
When I open the pit, will you lose control?

Never, never
Never, never
Never, never
Oooooooh, oooooooh, oooooooh, oooooooh

Never, never
Never, never
You are my never, never
Oooooooh, oooooooh, oooooooh, oooooooh
