@ MANIFEST (20.8.2022)

This is not a biography where we tell you who she warmed up for, or played with - This is where we tell you that Aya, the Singaporean-based Yokohama native stands out on her own.

Constantly working hard as a performing DJ, the results have seen her performing for promoters/venues such as Osaka Techno Mafia and club JOULE in Japan, Modulus KL and Less Is More in Malaysia, UNDERRADAR in Indonesia, and Arcan Saigon and Warehouse Hanoi in Vietnam. She's also a regular fixture for the Thugshop collective in Singapore, who owns Headquarters, MDLR and TUFF Club.

Her style uniquely crosses the realms of club music - energetic, uplifting, empowering techno, digressing with some cheeky and fun surprises in between. Her classical music background allows her to effortlessly adapt to any crowd, channeling their story into her storytelling. This is evident in her acclaimed HÖR radio set in Berlin, where she blended tracks from Ryuichi Sakamoto and Joe Hisaishi, and her Boiler Room set, seamlessly incorporating traditional Japanese Gagaku.

Recently, she joined the renowned Midnight Shift label, earned a feature in Vogue as a trailblazing female DJ, and was spotlighted by Mixmag Asia as an artist to watch in 2024.
