The best musical mavericks never sit still for long. They mutate and morph into new shapes, refusing to be boxed in. Floating Points - aka Sam Shepherd - has so many guises that it's not easy to pin him down. There's the composer whose 2015 debut album Elaenia was met with rave reviews - including being named Pitchfork's Best New Music and Resident Advisor's Album of the Year - and took him from dancefloors to festival stages worldwide. The curator whose record labels have brought soulful new sounds into the club and, on his esteemed imprint Melodies International, reinstated old ones. The classicist, the disco guy that makes machine music, the digger always searching for untapped gems to rerelease. And then there's DJ whose liberal approach to genre saw him once drop a 20-minute instrumental by spiritual saxophonist Pharoah Sanders in Berghain.

Raised in Arizona, Avalon started to make, release and play music in San Francisco before moving to Berlin in 2014. In 2016 she released one of Resident Advisor's Top 10 Tracks of the Decade, 'The Frontier,' an emotive and colourful techno song that became a hit thanks to Avalon's ear-catching melody. Since then, she has toured the world's most famous clubs and festivals and remixed the likes of Slowdive, Robyn, Four Tet, Lena Platonos and more. In 2019 she launched her own international series of events named 9000 Dreams, which entailed all-night-long solo marathon DJ sets and club lineups that she curated. And that's in addition to the steady stream of original music that she's issued on various respected electronic music labels like AD 93 (FKA Whities) and Ghostly International imprint Spectral Sound. She released her entry into the esteemed DJ-Kicks series in 2020.
Avalon 's selections reflect a deep knowledge of house, techno, new wave, EBM and rave as well as the experience of an adaptable selector. Her style transcends the confines of time or genre by recontextualizing dance music from previous eras among contemporary sounds and her own productions and edits. In the past few years, she became a regular across all floors of Berlin's famous Berghain nightclub and played at major festivals like Coachella and Pitchfork.
