Multi-faceted electronic music producer AVAION continues to cut through the noise, announcing his second studio album TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY, coming 16th January 2026, with the release of new single ‘NEED ME.’
In a few short years, AVAION has carved out a space entirely his own - where raw emotion, forward-thinking production, and pure human connection collide. The first fleeting seconds of ‘NEED ME’ capture this essence perfectly. Caught on tape by AVAION himself, a candid voice note recorded on the streets of Berlin replays the moment that he overheard two strangers exchanging words on why they love what they do, with the simple conclusion “to make people happy.” A sentiment which now forms the title of AVAION’s forthcoming second album.
With no hidden agenda, TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY is created with that exact purpose in mind. Inspired by the many moments of pure sonic ecstasy, deep unity and release, shared on the dancefloor during his energised live shows, channelling the electricity of the dancefloor into a deeply personal listening journey. The new album follows debut LP Selfreflection, released in Spring 2025, this new chapter captures the scope of AVAION’s evolving artistry and the devotion of his ever-growing fanbase.
Those who pre-order the album will also be able to get their hands on early reservations of the record in vinyl and CD format, along with a host of self-designed merch, and first ticket access to the exclusive album show at Festsaal Kreuzberg, Berlin, on Friday, 23rd January 2026, where AVAION will perform the album in full live spectacle.
So far, 2025 is shaping up to be AVAION’s most defining year yet. Kicking off the year with the viral ID ‘Wacuka’ alongside Sofiya Nzau, the innovative producer has cemented his status, not as one to watch, but as an artist to back without question or risk falling behind.
AVAION’s YOU ARE SEEN headline tour across Europe was a sold-out success that left a trail of dancefloor memories in every city. Swiftly followed by summer release ‘Save My Love’ with Marshmello and Ellie Goulding, and most recently ‘SLOWLY’ with RANI. Each record completely varying in sonic style, yet unmistakably emblazoned with AVAION’s hallmark dousing of intoxicating euphoria, swirled melancholia.
Both the single release and album announcement come on the same day that AVAION completes yet another milestone as he makes his UK debut, headlining London club XOYO and bringing with him his signature brand of intimate, yet highly energised, 360-degree live show to the capital city.
