Avalon – 10 Essential Tracks

Avalon – 10 Essential Tracks

Avalon is a solo UK based psychedelic project from Leon Kane. After attending numerous (il)legal rave parties in the UK, he started to get more involved in the scene first as a promoter, organising many underground warehouse and outdoor parties in the United Kingdom.

In 2003, he actively started Dj’ing but it was not until 2006 that his career as a producer begun with his involvement in the duo act Reality Grid along with Alex Diplock (aka EVP). Soon after the release of their first album “Reality Check” on Wildthings Records in 2007, Leon decided to focus exclusively on his solo project Avalon, slowly getting the attention of both Tristan and Regan Tacon (Nano Records label manager).

Avalon has produced a plethora of collaborative tracks with some of the scene’s biggest names

His career really took-off when he actually joined Nano Record’s family after releasing his first EP “Avalanche” in 2009. Avalon’s first solo full-length album “Distant Futures” was released in 2010 and featured 10 full-on tracks , including collaborative tunes with some of UK’s most important Psytrance artists like Dickster, Cosmosis and Tristan. The album was a huge success globally, each one of the tracks making it in Beatport’s Top 10 chart. In 2012, a new full-on project from Tristan and Avalon was born -Killerwatts- combining both artists crisp sound, and unique style. In 2015, Leon also started producing music with Sonic Species under the alias Future Frequency, bringing the UK psychedelic vibes into a lower bpm.

Avalon has produced a plethora of other EP’s and numerous collaborative tracks with some of the scene’s biggest names on major labels such as Tip World Records, Iboga Records, HOMmega Productions & IONO Music and has participated in some of the biggest events and festivals of the planet, such as Ozora, BOOM and Earth Dance Festival in South Africa.
Many agree that Avalon’s quick ascension in the scene is due to its unique highly energetic and intelligent full-on Psychedelic he’s been producing, becoming one of the biggest names and most in-demand producers in the international psy-trance scene.
