Halal & Relaxer is the collaborative live set between Aurora Halal & Relaxer, the new project of Daniel Martin-McCormick. Both are known for powerful and darkly trippy live hardware shows, and as a duo combine Halal's mood—playful, psychedelic, acidic and intense—with Relaxer's pulsating, bass-line driven grooves and paranoid vocals. Previously, as Ital & Halal they released two EPs of colorful techno and performed their live debut at The Bunker NY Unsound Edition. They have since re-formed with this new concept which they introduced at Nachtdigital this summer. Together they also run the Sustain-Release festival in New York, which Aurora founded in 2014.
