Whether in live sessions, commissioned pieces, or unpredictable DJ sets, solo or alongside 96 Black and Jennifer Walton as Microplastics, entering Aya's sonic world is a golden opportunity for catharsis and deprogramming.
Aya began her unstoppable rise with im hole (Hyperdub, 2021), gaining ground in the Northwest Manchester electronic scene alongside powerful and atypical projects such as Blackhaine, Space Afrika, Iceboy Violet, and CURRENTMOODGIRL.
But it's the visceral honesty of hexed! (Hyperdub, 2025) that has led her to light up global stages, from festivals focused on digital art to spaces for hardcore, punk, and drone.
With a strongly autobiographical creative process, Aya transforms experiences and memories into raw and visceral sound textures, designed to confront us with the structures (mental, social, and musical) that feel most hegemonic.
Her fierce instinct for blurring the lines between performance, rave, hardcore, and forcefully breaking the fourth wall will have its Mexican premiere on October 10th.
