Sustain-Release cofounder Aurora Halal and deep techno craftsman Relaxer (formerly Ital) touch down in our NYC studio for gripping DJ sets.
Though both have roots in Washington, DC, Aurora Halal and Daniel Martin-McCormick have become indelibly associated with techno in Brooklyn, the borough where they’ve been producing, DJing and throwing parties for the better part of the last decade. Though they regularly play international gigs, for the last three years their attention has turned to a mammoth project that’s closer to home: Sustain-Release, the weekender Halal cofounded with Zara Wladawsky; Martin-McCormick has been involved since the beginning. On this edition of the Bunker NY on Red Bull Radio, the pair discuss this year’s campout and the philosophy that drives one of the best weekends in American dance music. Martin-McCormick also sheds light on his change of alias – releasing as Ital since 2011, he’s recently thrown his full production, live and DJing force behind the name Relaxer.
