Aura T-09 is a consistent advocate of producers and styles, seeking to free the dance floor from the hegemony of 4/4 beats. Though much of her impact on Los Angeles dance floor culture has occurred behind the scenes as a graphic designer and event organizer, Aura T-09 (Marci Pinna) has managed to reveal a connection between breakcore, IDM, experimental electronics and a number of vibrant regional dance scenes through her tireless efforts. Her friendship, support, and collaboration with late footwork scene godfather DJ Rashad directly led to the genre’s popularity in the city, and she’s promoted parties for Venetian Snares, Xanopticon, Oneman, Kode9, Ikonika, DJ Funk, Untold. Behind the decks, Aura T-09 sums up all these influences, refusing to draw a hierarchy between sounds for the mind and those aimed at the body.
