Center of the Universe

Center of the Universe is a dance track inspired by piano and vocal house from the 1990s. The song features LA-based vocalist Cheshy, who delivers an empowering message of self-affirmation, perseverance, and hopefulness over an unrelenting chord progression, a super smooth bassline, and a classic 909 drum groove. If you've been listening, you might notice some similarities to Scott Avery's latest track, "Set Free," featuring standout vocals from Monica Blaire. However, "Center of the Universe" distinguishes itself with a fresh and dynamic arrangement. Despite that, both tracks aim to get bodies on the dance floor.

Set Free feat.
Monica Blaire

Diving deeper into Scott Avery’s singular sense of stylistic play, Set Free also doubles as a dance-worthy homage to the artist’s personal history. The infectious key riff that undergirds this throwback track honors East Coast dance music’s origins in disco. Meanwhile, presiding over Avery’s four-on-the-floor beat, vocalist Monica Blaire brings the verve and tenacity of her native Detroit—Avery’s current home and the center of his musical stylings. Skillfully integrating influences across eras and regions, Set Free presents the dance floor as a transcendent space beyond limits.

Evil Eye

Evil Eye is an electro-fusion track inspired by J.J Johnson & His Orchestra's 1972 instrumental version of Across 110th Street by Bobby Womack. In what is fast becoming his signature sound, Avery playfully extracted elements from various genres to push electro beyond its storied 808 formulations, aiming to create something off-kilter, yet infectious.

About

Born in Philly and raised on the sounds of his father’s all-encompassing record collection, Avery’s appreciation for music was forged in equal parts by the city and the home. Early influences included basement parties and cookouts, sites of community, and celebration that allowed for a genre-agnostic admiration for music. In 2016, Avery saw himself relocate from his longtime home of New York City to Detroit, where the legacy of techno and the pulse of the creative landscape provided daily inspiration. After his father’s passing in 2018, Avery’s earliest experiences with music were again brought to the forefront, catalyzing his entry into the world of electronic music.
