dj sets, ambient sets and sound curation. London based.

Matteo Manzini has been a key figure in London’s underground music scene for over a decade. From his early days co-running DAMAGED 15 years ago to his work today, his influence remains significant. He has performed at nearly every major venue across the city, captivating crowds of all sizes. Notably, Matteo shares a deep connection with fabric, having delivered several sets in Room 1 on Saturday nights, and more recently curating an ongoing series of ambient daytime sessions at the iconic Farringdon venue.

"A full Dj is one that does not stick to one genre of music only but one that is able to contextualise to slot, night, room, soundsystem, city, crowd, rest of line up and so on and Matteo has been achieving that amazingly.", thanks @toitoimusik for the kind words 🙏

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.
