London-based producer Daniel Avery has carved his own distinctive path in the cutting-edge electronic music community over the past 6 years. He debuted back in 2012 and has unleashed an array of head-turning EPs on labels such as Optimo Music, Gomma Dance Tracks, Fabric, and Erol Alkan's Phantasy Sound. His debut album Drone of Logic arrived in 2013 and showcased an intoxicating mixture of techno, acid house, and big beat rhythms. His guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World arrives a month after the release of his new EP Slow Fade and one week before the release of his highly-anticipated sophomore album, Song For Alpha, due out April 6th on Mute Records. In anticipation of his new album, he's pieced together an exclusive new mix showcasing a handful of his own songs -- both older selections and forthcoming joints -- alongside a cerebral blend of immersive underground techno tracks that yield an ideal soundtrack for headphone sessions and dimly-lit dancefloors worldwide.
