Auspex
(n.) pl. aus·pi·ces,
An augur of ancient Rome, especially one who interpreted omens derived from the observation of birds or other methods of divination. A diviner, prophet, foreteller.

Auspex got his first taste for sonic exploration at an early age—a classically trained violinist and multi-instrumentalist since the age of 11—and it was during those formative years that he began to translate his experience of the world by shaping and bending sound to move the body, stir the mind, and still the heart. 

During his teen years, Auspex found himself delving into new musical territories, exploring punk rock, goth, experimental and electronic hybrids, fusing the organic with the technological and setting him down a path that would eventually lead him to his most profound calling thus far: techno. 

Now a regular fixture of Brooklyn’s underground techno scene, Auspex is known for creating energetic and raucous dance floors and driving them to bedlam, blending skittering techno and blistering industrial, with anthemic rave and glitchy breaks to create dense and textured overtures, disorienting cacophonies that break open to reveal buoyant and joyous moments of euphoria and release. His uncompromising and unwavering style has seen him tapped to play as support for countless international touring acts from Phase Fatale to Randomer, Kamikaze Space Programme to Headless Horseman—as well as being called upon to throw down at NYC techno institutions such as The Bunker New York, Lost Soul Enterprises, Aphotic, The Black Hole and Unter. 

Most recently, Auspex has launched his own party series and residency, Dominion, an exploration of dark, driving techno at the intersection of technology and the arcane, which has already played host to some standout names from the NYC local techno scene, as well as some bigger names making noise around the globe. 2018 will also see the debut of Auspex’s production work, with the first releases slated for V/A compilations in late Fall, as well as his premiere performances outside the U.S. in the European scene.
