Think of Aurora as the sort of navigator who’d have a ‘Don’t Panic’ sticker discreetly tucked away, ready to bang out just when the dance floor needs that extra surge of cosmic confidence. Her live performances and DJ sets are a heady fusion of hypnotic sensuality and sleek metallic force, mixing together moods that feel playful, shadowy, and pretty intense. Since 2010, Halal has treated the club environment as an experimental launchpad for soul-stirring sounds, drawing from a grassroots, DIY spirit and then blasting that concoction into the cosmos. A resident at NYC’s Nowadays and a regular orbiting hotspots like Berghain and De School, she’s built a worldwide reputation for guiding partygoers on shimmering voyages. Aurora Halal, poised to teleport you from the moon right onto the dancefloor.
