[1] Avery was primarily a fan of guitar music in his youth, performing in local bands inspired by Kyuss and My Bloody Valentine.
[2] He moved to London in 2007, and first began producing and DJing in 2009 under the name Stopmakingme,[3] collaborating with Little Boots, Hercules and Love Affair, and Metronomy, and regularly performing at Fabric.
In 2018 he released the EP Slow Fade, followed by his second album, Song for Alpha, on early champion Erol Alkan's Phantasy Sound and Mute Records.
[7] The album was a marked change to his debut, with critics noting the influence of his collaborations with London producer Volte-Face (as the techno duo Rote) and Alessandro Cortini, with whom he put out a 7″ ambient single in 2017.
The record features vocals by Kelly Lee Owens, HTRK's Jonnie Standish, HAAi, Marie Davidson, and SHERELLE.
