Original electronic music - big beat, breaks, trance, dnb, new age, and more.
The World Circuit
E ver thought about how cool it would be if that breakbeat tune you just heard had a Japanese taiko breakdown? How about some slick drum n' bass rhythms in a samba? Gregorian choirs plus granular synthesis? A bit of Persian bouzouki in your smooth jazz? Maybe you haven't, but you're about to hear what it's like!
Welcome to THE WORLD CIRCUIT...
This EP-length album consists of eight songs that explore sounds, melodies, and harmonies from around the world and fuse them with modern electronic elements like synth basses, sweeps, blips, pads, and drum machines. Close your eyes and imagine exploring an ancient South American ruins in "Enter the Temple". Feel the cool breeze as the pulse of "Drum and Bossa" gets your foot tapping. Or envision a multi-million dollar movie car chase to the tune of the bombastic "Bazaar". From the rainforests of Africa to Eastern Europe, the Far East, India, and more... this album is an ethnotronic adventure you've gotta check out.

Antigravity
The much-anticipated follow up to the award-winning IMPULSE PRIME is finally here... ANTIGRAVITY is the musical culmination of two full years of work, featuring over 50 minutes of soaring, pulsating, genre-bending rhythms and melodies. Though most of the songs focus on sharp, driving drumlines - phat beats, as it were - the genres included range from big beat, to trance, drum n' bass, new age/world fusion, and more. Regardless of style, zircon continues to apply stunning attention to detail in his complex sonic textures and dynamic songwriting, which draws its inspiration from artists like BT, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, The Crystal Method, Ils, Pendulum, and others.
This time around, zircon is not the only musician forging evolved electronic soundwaves. With vocalist Jillian Goldin powering two of the album's most anthemic tracks - "Breathing You In" and "Antigravity" - this is a side of zircon that you haven't heard before, but are sure to enjoy. Guitar prodigy Cain McCormack provides some truly overdriven instrumentals on the drum-n-bass song "Depth Charge", one of the album's darker, yet still organic, tracks. And on the Moby/Fatboy Slim-inspired "Nitronic", Jimmy Hinson tears it up with some funky fresh synth soloing.
If you are a longtime zircon fan, you will not be disappointed with the next stage of musical development and refinement contained in ANTIGRAVITY. If you are a new listener and enjoy electronic music to any degree, you'll love the blend of hard-hitting beats, ethereal pads, and intricate blends of real and artificial sounds that has become zircon's signature style.

IMPULSE PRIME, the latest electronic offering from zircon (Andrew Aversa) begins where the successful PHASMA ELEMENTUM left off. Compared to the first, trance-oriented album, IMPULSE PRIME is a much more comprehensive, detailed, fine-tuned, and better-built musical undertaking. With a new emphasis on big beats, this album covers nearly an hour's worth of fresh new electronic material, inspired by artists like The Crystal Method, Prodigy, Infected Mushroom, and many more. Experience haunting, ethereal vocal textures, synths, and melodies meshed with massive, house-shaking drums in "Hourglass". Nod your head to pumping, aggressive rhythms accompanied by down-and-dirty guitar riffs in "Acid Dominion". Or, sit back and relax while letting the funky drum, retro synth, and EP grooves of "Endorphin" flow.
This is an album for any fans of electronic music; anyone who wants some fun, danceable, and interesting music to listen to - whether they're on the dance floor or simply unwinding after school or work. If you're looking for generic trance beats or "cutting-edge" and experimental ambient works, this ain't your CD. But if you want to get down to some truly monstrous, old-school beats combined with a vast array of acoustic, ethnic, and synthesized sounds in ways you haven't heard before, then you'd be nuts to not give this disc a shot.
So turn up your speakers or put on your headphones, close your eyes, and dive into the more enjoyable, thicker, and richer world of IMPULSE PRIME! [12 tracks, running time: 56:02]
Phasma Elementum
The music you will find on this album is not only influenced by the greats of electronica and my own ideas, but also by baroque, classical, and romantic composers, and even a few modern ones. This influence manifests itself in the form of more developed progressions, melodies, and harmonies, unlike the typically drawn-out, repetitive techno mixes prevalent these days. You could say I strongly believe in "quality over quantity" in the case of music, and I think that electronic music deserves just as much attention outside of the club scene as within it, and should be interesting and enjoyable to listen to anytime.
Does this idea work?
According to independent artists, listeners, and critics, my music is: "elevated", "evolved", "brilliant", "masterful", "legendary", "exciting", "DNA for any serious dance floor", "stunning", "alluring", "distinctive", and "inspired", among other things.
You'll have to decide for yourself. [13 tracks, running time: 45:05]
