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, AD 93 (fka Whities) 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. Her latest release to date? An EP on AD 93 under the A+A alias with Anunaku.
