Avalon Emerson will celebrate the 25th anniversary of DJ-Kicks, the series’ 72nd edition.

Emerson’s 70-minute mix traverses a wide range of tempos and styles. The selections are tied together with her own edits, remixes, and productions. She opens with a bold and playful cover of The Magnetic Fields’ “Long Forgotten Fairytale” and closes with her “14th Life” remix of Austra’s “Anywayz.”

“I wanted it to be representative of how I sound in the club while incorporating new original music,” Emerson says. “I thought of it as a good opportunity to summarize the last few years of DJing for me and share my original productions, covers, and remixes.”

Alongside today’s announcement, Emerson has shared her new single, “Wastelands & Oases,” streaming below.

Raised in Arizona, Emerson started to make, release, and play music in San Francisco before moving to Berlin in 2014. In 2019, she launched her own series of events, 9000 Dreams, which entailed all-night-long solo DJ sets and club lineups that she curated. She’s issued music on labels like AD 93 (f.k.a Whities) and Ghostly International’s Spectral Sound.
