As a precocious 18-year-old DJ growing up in Bournemouth, he took a sense of pride in kicking against the tone-deaf music requests of stag and hen dos in favour of shoegaze, post-punk and thrash metal.

“The club echoes across Song for Alpha, but Daniel Avery aspires to more”
“Turning away from the mix of big-room energy and outré sounds that marked his debut, the London producer’s surprisingly muted second album is a catch-all for his varied tastes.”
“Daniel Avery's latest effort dives headfirst into the depths of ambient techno, but comes up relatively empty-handed.”
