He became a regular attendee at dance music club night Project Mayhem, before eventually being invited to DJ by the night's promoter. He moved to London in 2007, and first began producing and DJing in 2009 under the name Stopmakingme, collaborating with Little Boots, Hercules and Love Affair, and Metronomy, and regularly performing at Fabric. During this period, Avery worked at the now-defunct Pure Groove record shop in Smithfield Market, London. There he met future collaborators Kelly Lee Owens and James Greenwood. Owens contributed to Avery's debut album, Drone Logic, and Avery produced her first EP, Oleic. In 2011, the shop closed, and he reverted to his birth name for releases from 2012 onward. 2012–present In 2012 he contributed a DJ mix to the Fabriclive series, and released the cassette-only mixtape Divided Love. The latter was limited to 100 copies, with one side dedicated to a club mix and the other to more ambient, chill out tracks. Avery's debut album,
