Bio
Originally hailing from Arizona, and subsequently adopted by San Francisco and Berlin, back in 2009 Avalon Emerson appeared destined for a brilliant career in software development. A decade on, she has become a global techno star and has racked up various releases on Spectral Sound, Whities (including the legendary Whities 006) and Spring Theory. A staunch advocate of hard, fast techno – fundamentally old school and hardware-made, compressed and rave-friendly – she sees her music as a sonic portrayal of the arid expanses of her native Arizona. It is a mystical, narrative approach, galvanised by complex futuristic melodies and powerful, dark kicks.
Don’t be fooled by her serene, nerdy appearance: Avalon Emerson’s music descends upon you like an avalanche of decibels and digital grooves. Hall D will be shaken to its foundations by the relentlessness of a talented young American creating a rapturous atmosphere that is sure to live long in the memory.
