Good house music doesn’t need to scream or shout or make a dramatic fuss. Avalon Emerson’s lead track “Rotting Hills” on 040 comes on like a slow burner. Inconspicuous at first, it builds up momentum until you find yourself on the dancefloor cruising at 30,000 feet.
She’s a supreme beat stylist with a touch as light as a stone skipping across a pond.
Her three-track EP 040 never gets quite as danceable as that first track, but it’s beautiful electronic music all the way through that will find its way onto your turntable outside of the discotheque.
