The Sustain-Release co-founder steps up to the Phonica mix just ahead of the acclaimed festival’s 11th year. 
New York has an iconic history when it comes to club music, and over the years has seen many great names emerge from its underground scene. In modern times, Aurora Halal is undoubtedly one of those names. 
Aurora has become a staple at forward-thinking institutions like Berghain, De School, and her home base, Nowadays, where she holds a residency. Alongside her international touring, she’s carved out her own vital space through the long-running Mutual Dreaming parties and Sustain-Release, the DIY-rooted festival she co-founded, which continues to push boundaries as it enters its second decade.
Her Phonica mix offers a vivid snapshot of her deep, intuitive approach to DJing—captured live at Mansions, a cozy NYC wine bar turned house party haven. Known for her genre-fluid sets that blend hypnotic techno, house, acid and experimental textures this is the perfect calling card to showcase why she can hold it down with a range of greats like DJ Nobu, Vladimir Ivkovic and more.
We had a chat about the mix with Aurora as well as touching off Sustain and some of her favorite moments at the festival.

Phonica Mix Series 134: Aurora Halal

Power Play: Mix 7 is a live recording of resident @ado_sounds from the POWER PLAY - Rooftop party (August 16th, 2025).

Leading from the warmth of the sunset into the night, it constantly builds up with a fusion of late-90's/early-2000s and new, pushing tracks. 

One seamless journey, no big peaks — just a constant climb.

Big love to everyone who stayed till the end ❤️

a spacecraft landed at Lithuanian House ~ Friday 31 October, 2025! 𖠌 𖠌 𖠌

curious creatures emerged... we didn't learn much about them; only that they're a lil odd, like dub techno & refer to humans as "earth worms"... 𓆑𓆑𓆑

they didn't stay long ~ came for an hour, wiggled n wargled, deemed humans as "crazy" ~ 𐦂𖨆𐀪𖠋~ then left (in peace).

remember... we are not alone ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 𖠌
