Now one of dance music’s most respected DJs, Avalon Emerson first made a name for herself in the storied warehouse scene of her birthplace, San Francisco, before relocating to Berlin in 2013. Over a decade of performances at the famed Berghain led to appearances at numerous festivals around the world which all cemented Emerson, and her evocative, genre- and decade-spanning sets, as perennially in demand. 

In 2020, she released her first full-length collection: a contribution to the longrunning DJ-Kicks series (which Resident Advisor described as “The sound of a well-honed DJ at the top of her game.”), nestled alongside a steady stream of remix releases for the likes of Four Tet, Slowdive, Robyn and more.

Next up was 2023’s Avalon Emerson & The Charm, an instant classic which saw Emerson exploring her singing voice and more traditional songwriting outside of the boundaries of her dance music work.  Created after a move to New York, the resulting & The Charm album was released to critical acclaim, landing on numerous critics’ best-of-the-year lists.

The stage is now set, then, for her to carve out a wholly unique path, and with the help of new label home and indie giant, Dead Oceans, Emerson is poised to connect her various musical endeavors to create an untouchably rich output of material. First up is Perpetual Emotion Machine, consisting of songs created for her DJ sets, delivered via a living, evolving project and announced ahead of her worldwide tour.

The world will end, but love and music endureth.

Aasthma, a collaboration between Swedish producers Pär Grindvik and Peder Mannerfelt . A sonically high-fidelity whirlwind, occupying a dazzling soundworld where Top 40 ballads and breakbeat rollers gleefully canoodle with trap bangers, neon-streaked EDM and guttural dancehall.

Graduating from the class of Fever Ray 2018 Plunge tour, Peder Mannerfelt and Pär Grindvik found themselves inexplicably drawn towards creating Aasthma as a vessel for their collaborative respiratory malaise. After being tapped up for gaseous exchanges for the likes of Björk, Modeselektor and Massive Attack, they released their debut full length ”Arrival” in late 2022 to great fanfare. Including collaborations with diverse artist such as Jonnine Standish of HTRK, Adam Olenius of Shout Out Louds, Casey MQ, Gavsborg of Equiknoxx and Swedish rapper Silvana Imam it shows their commitment to fumigating beyond their natural habitat of cramped basements and cavernous technodomes into uncharted popular territories.
