Avro Arvo – Treasure Hunt
“"Avro Arvo" calls you to find out his treasure in sound. Minimal style, based on Techno and House ideas. On top of all lies the artist's calm voice, which guides you on this magnificent trip. Don't lose time and press play!”

UK born Avro Arvo, is a Melbourne based artist and producer who became inspired by the coastline and beaches of Australia, alongside its way of life. Originally part of indie-pop duo Fool Child, he decided to move towards electronic sounds combined with delicate guitar licks, and funky basslines undertoned by synths. Over the span of 2 years, this became somewhat of a passion project - to create a chilled and inspired soundscape reflective of his new Australian life.
The music is best suited to complimenting your roadtrip - or to relax to by the beach - attributing musical influence from Phoenix, Polo & Pan, Foals and HONNE,
Avro's debut single, 'Thrill Seeker', is out 21st August and depicts a previous relationship that lacked meaning and purpose, to the point in which he had to end it. 'Thrill Seeker' was realised from the epiphanous (this might not actually be a word, but you get it) desire to find a real connection with someone, in contrast to meaningless partying and settling for someone who can only spare a fraction of their week with you.
