re-imagining the pulse of club music, chicago-based producer and dj Avelina DeCandia emerged into the spotlight with her track ‘DUO’ and a number of ear-catching remixes on soundcloud. with a penchant for stripping back compositions to their core element, avas brings her unique vision of electronic music, evoking imagery of a 909 drum machine that’s taken a fall down too many stairs, yet somehow still keeps perfect rhythm. she released her debut ep ‘data’ in 2024 which included collaborative efforts with jhl and plastic pet. she has gone on to run chicago-based club night and label ‘xlx’ and has worked with artists such as jane remover, umru, gaszia and more.
