Having cut his teeth over the last decade coming up through Brooklyn’s warehouse scene, NYC-based DJ, producer and lable boss Auspex has solidified himself as a regular fixture and contributor to its underground techno community, a tireless organizer very much at home in the city’s vibrant nightlife scene for over the last decade. Having made regular appearances over the years at such legendary parties as The Bunker and Unter, he soon found himself joining the Basement family when he developed his infamous residency party ALTÆR. Now six years running, ALTÆR has become known for its immersive and music-driven line-ups, pulling the together some of the world’s best international techno and house talents. In 2026, after frequent appearances with the underground q***r party mainstay Merge, he was also tapped to join their crew of residents at the start of this year.
He’s also made frequent appearances in Berlin at venues like RSO, Griessmuehle and most recently multiple dates at Berghain, as well as appearances at underground functions like Pornceptual, Gegen and STAUB, as well acclaimed festivals like Wire Festival and The Great Beyond.
Musically, Auspex conjures techno as a space of collective hypnosis—with sets that move with fluid precision and driving percussion through intergalactic expanses, leading dancers through spiraling grooves and sensory depth, shaping an experience that’s equal parts body ritual and psychedelic voyage. As a classically-trained multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, his compositions are in infused with narrative tension and a rambunctious mischief, driving dance floors to bedlam and then back again.
Come check out Auspex this Saturday, May 23rd at The Crucible in Madison, WI! Tickets available now in the comments below.
