$23 Adv + Fees | 21+ Now one of dance music’s most respected DJs, Avalon Emerson first made a name for herself in the storied warehouse scene of her birthplace, San Francisco, before relocating to Berlin in 2013. Over a decade of performances at the famed Berghain led to appearances at numerous festivals around the world which all cemented Emerson as perennially in demand. Her DJ sets transcend the confines of time or genre by recontextualizing dance music from previous eras among contemporary sounds weaving together house, techno, new wave, disco, and rave obscurities with her own productions and edits. In 2019 she launched 9000 Dreams, her own international series of events, as the curatorial expression of her musical vision. Showcasing the breadth of her eclectic taste over the course of a club night, artists on the lineup range from heavy hitters to exciting new names. In 2020, she released her first full-length collection: a contribution to the long-running DJ-Kicks series (which Resident Advisor described as “The sound of a well-honed DJ at the top of her game.”), nestled alongside a steady stream of remix releases for the likes of Four Tet, Slowdive, Robyn and more. Next up was 2023’s Avalon Emerson & the Charm, an instant classic which saw Emerson exploring her singing voice and more traditional songwriting outside of the boundaries of her dance music work. Created after a move to New York, the resulting & the Charm album was released to critical acclaim, landing on numerous critics’ best-of-the-year lists. In 2025 Avalon focused on her DJ career with a heavy schedule of worldwide touring including a 9000 Dreams tour, a celebrated closing slot at Dekmantel festival, and the release of Perpetual Emotion Machine, a series of singles created for her DJ sets, spanning genres and decades, and delivered as a living, evolving project. In 2026 the stage is now set for her to carve out a wholly unique path starting with the release of the propulsive, breakbeat assisted “Eden” and the announcement of Written into Changes, the second full length from the Avalon Emerson & the Charm project and the first to be released by indie powerhouse Dead Oceans. A slate of worldwide & the Charm tour dates will follow. Presented by Sleeping Village. This is an 21+ event
