Avalon Emerson is a Berlin/Bushwick/Catskills-based DJ and musician who’s produced remixes for legends such as Robyn, Four Tet, Fever Ray, and Slowdive, is a regular at Berghain, and played festivals like Coachella and Pitchfork, all while crafting an impressive discography of killer dance beats. With her last album, & the Charm, Avalon found a new sound that’s celestial, lush, and dreamy, and I can’t get enough of it. It’s one of my favorite albums of the year and I think you’ll like it too. On October 7th Perfectly Imperfect is co-presenting Avalon’s 9000 Dreams show (festival?) at the Knockdown Center where there’ll be live performances from her & her band + PI favorites such as Fcukers, Sadie, and Stranger Ranger, and DJ sets deep into the night. Lucky for us, Avalon is here to tell us what she’s been into.

It’s not a game, it’s a simulator. I discovered it this year and it’s one of the only things that lets me mentally check out. Designing five-way six-lane highway exchanges and water treatment systems for 100k digital citizens brings me calm. The metropolis I’m working on right now is called Dirt Roadington, but by now I have upgraded all the dirt roads to nice ones lined with trees and bike lanes. Pairs well with the slight oxygen deprivation of an airplane ride.
