Evian Christ has spent more than a decade re-contextualising trance.

Kings and Them put him on the map in 2012, before his production reached global rap superstars. TranceParty gave that curiosity a home of its own, with Revanchist later bringing years of experimentation and graft together on his debut album on Warp Records.

After joining us for a blow-out set at The Dock for AVA Belfast this summer, Joshua Leary heads to EartH Hall with Skin On Skin, Croatian Amor and mi-el to close out AVA London 2026.
