Avalon Emerson
Raised in Arizona (I remember her describing herself as a “desert rat”), Avalon Emerson started her career in earnest in San Francisco before moving to Berlin in 2014 where things kicked off steadily as a DJ of major repute and as a producer with a battery of great 12” releases. You can start to hear the echoes of her new album sound in 2014’s “Church Of Soma” on the elegant Spring Theory label (label owner Guillaume’s The Lot Radio shows are always worth a listen). In 2016, Avalon also released an EP, Narcissus in Retrograde, on the Ghostly imprint, Spectral Sound, and her release “The Frontier” nearly topped Resident Advisor's Top 10 Tracks of the Decade list. Now splitting her time between Berlin and the Catskill Mountains, she’s settling into herself both as a passionate music fan and a macro-level producer of sound and sight, with her long-delayed Saturn’s Return album reflecting the chaos and calm after a decade of global travel and diverse creative encounters.
