Cyberpunk, DJ, Nomad
A hacker of many shades but musician first, Aural State is a nomad of both the physical and digital realms. Living in a solar-powered van, she travels the country with a studio packed with both modern and vintage equipment, much of it built by her own hands. This DIY approach and connection to analog tradition infuse her music with a character that blends innovation with authenticity, creating unique, genre-blurring sounds.
Aural State draws inspiration from vibrant cities like LA, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, NYC, and Tokyo, along with the serenity of deep nature and the vast expanses of deserts. Whether she's in the back of noisy LA warehouses, roaming city streets, or deep in the wilderness, her location changes as often as her IP address. Yet she always keeps her studio and cellular uplink ready—able to create, communicate, and share anytime, anywhere.
She is also the force behind Threshold Recordings, a label dedicated to uplifting trans and LGBTQ+ talent within the electronic music scene. Threshold is more than just a label; it’s a movement committed to creating inclusive spaces for underrepresented voices in progressive, house, techno, and trance. Many of Aural State's events are hosted under the Threshold banner, blending her passion for music, community, and technology.
In the digital realm, Aural State extends this vision through her involvement in the VR community, building immersive worlds and hosting virtual events, pushing the boundaries of how music and community intersect. Her style combines cutting-edge tech and analog craftsmanship, seeing the world like a modular synth outfitted with FPGAs—waiting to be connected in imaginative and unexpected ways.
