Avalon Emerson was raised in Arizona, and began to DJ and make electronic music in San Francisco and Berlin.
Avalon is a key figure in the underground/overground crossover, known for her dynamic DJ sets, reaching into all eras and genres of dance music. Her sets reflect a deep knowledge and love of house, techno, rave, new wave, disco and more, recontextualizing a vast mosaic of music into an instinctive set and experience, often through her own creative edits and on-the-fly remixing and layering. She’s a regular favourite across all floors of Berlin’s famous Berghain nightclub, she sells out solo all-night-long shows in major cities across the US and Europe, and is a mainstay at major festivals worldwide such as Coachella, Pitchfork Festival, Sonar, and more.
In 2016 she released “The Frontier”, one of Resident Advisor’s Top 10 Tracks of the Decade, and since then her original music output has resonated with fans to garner an almost cult-like following of fans both in the clubs and on headphones. She’s remixed the likes of Slowdive, Robyn, Four Tet, and more. In 2020 She contributed a mix compilation for the esteemed K7! DJ-Kicks series. In 2021 she had a monthly residency on the BBC Radio 1, and in 2022 she announced A+A, a collaboration project with Anunaku.
