Tristan Casara (born 23 January 1987), known by his stage name The Avener (/ˈævənər/), is a French deep house and electro DJ and music producer from Nice. He is best known for his 2014 single "Fade Out Lines", a deep house rework of "The Fade Out Line", a song by Phoebe Killdeer & The Short Straws.
The word "avener"—from Latin "avēna", "oats"—is a historical title for an officer who provided oats to stabled horses. "The Avener" also contains the word "heaven" as a substring, as highlighted on the album art for the Avener's second album, Heaven.
In September 2014 the Avener released his debut single "Fade Out Lines", a deep house rework of "The Fade Out Line", a song by Phoebe Killdeer & The Short Straws. The song peaked at number 3 in France. The song reached number 1 in Austria, Germany and Spain, the song was also a top-10 hit in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Italy and Switzerland. He released his debut studio album The Wanderings of the Avener in January 2015, peaking at number 2 in France. The album also includes the singles "Hate Street Dialogue", "To Let Myself Go" and "Panama".
In 2015, the Avener was partnered with the FIA World Endurance Championship and played a set at each race weekend.
In August 2015, it was revealed that the Avener would provide production for Mylène Farmer's tenth studio album, including the lead single "Stolen Car", a duet with Sting.
