AVAION announces second album TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY with new single ‘NEED ME’
A body of work dedicated entirely to the dancefloor.
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 just 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 he overheard two strangers exchanging why they love what they do, concluding simply: “to make people happy.” A sentiment that 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 countless moments of sonic ecstasy, unity, and release shared during his energised live shows, AVAION channels the electricity of the dancefloor into a deeply personal listening journey. The album follows debut LP Selfreflection (Spring 2025) and marks a new chapter that captures both the scope of his evolving artistry and the devotion of his ever-growing fanbase.
Fans who pre-order the album will gain early access to:
- Vinyl & CD editions
- Self-designed merch
- First ticket reservations for the exclusive album show at Festsaal Kreuzberg, Berlin (Friday 23rd January 2026) where AVAION will perform the album in full.
So far, 2025 is shaping up to be AVAION’s defining year. From the viral ID “Wacuka” (with Sofiya Nzau), to his sold-out YOU ARE SEEN European headline tour, to the shimmering summer release “Save My Love” (with Marshmello & Ellie Goulding), and most recently “SLOWLY” (with RANI) – each record spans different sonic styles yet is unmistakably AVAION, drenched in his hallmark blend of euphoria and melancholia.
Both the single release and album announcement arrive the same day AVAION hits another milestone: his UK debut headline at London’s XOYO, bringing his intimate yet high-energy 360-degree live show to the capital.
🔥 “NEED ME” is out now on Beatport.
