Fortunate to grow up around the rich club culture of NYC, influenced by the sounds around him, Avision now finds himself helping usher in a new wave of techno for the New York scene. His debut album ‘In My Mind,’ released on Maceo Plex’s Ellum Audio imprint, has been hailed by DJ Magg UK as “an impressive body of work stuffed full of melodic techno and maximal house.”
Avision started young on the turntables at the age of 12, gained his first residency at 15, and hasn’t looked back since. Recent touring highlights include gigs at The Brooklyn Mirage & Time Warp in NYC, Off Sonar in Barcelona, EDC Las Vegas, Space Miami, Watergate Berlin and Stereo Montreal. Around the same time as his DJ career started, he began to hone his production skills in the studio, and has developed a distinctly New York-flavored techno sound that he’s now bringing to the world.
Over the last number of years, he’s had releases on a range of influential labels across the spectrum of techno; from Ellum and Drumcode, to Hardgroove and Truncate to name a few. Avision has also recently started the Ground Rule Collective, an outlet which brings together all of the different aspects of his creative passions: music, events, clothing, art, and food – all driven by New York influence. The events portion of Ground Rule has launched with a recurring series of events in New York at Superior Ingredients (formerly Output), and the first clothing line drop followed shortly after. The philosophy of Ground Rule will mirror the development of Anthony as Avision, “staying true to the music, the art form and myself is something I always want to push forward.”
Fresh off a killer remix on Hot Since 82’s Knee Deep In Sound, the visionary takes over our Select Cuts series with a mix recorded in Los Angeles for Factory 93 Records pop-up show at Homage Brewing. A mix full of gritty, groovy, and pulsing music to honor the city that never sleeps. Enjoy!
