Audio State (RO)

Romanian-born DJ and producer Audio State is cementing his place as an intrinsic name within the next generation of rising techno stars. Championing an adaptable blend of melodic-driven, peak-time techno alongside raw, hypnotic cuts, his boundless creativity and rich catalogue of high-impact records are setting him on a definitive path to dance music royalty. Launching his career in the tech-house sphere, Audio State achieved significant success under his preceding aliases before maturing his sound palette into a harder, faster, and more driving strain of underground music.

His tracks are staples in the touring playlists of industry titans including Adam Beyer, Pan-Pot, Carl Cox, Sam Paganini, Enrico Sangiuliano and Joseph Capriati. This widespread tastemaker support has secured him notable footholds inside Beatport’s Peak-Time Top 100 and Hype charts with every single release. Having graced some of the most influential imprints in the landscape—including Second State Audio, JAM, Planet Rhythm and Terminal M—Audio State’s sonic footprint extends far beyond the studio. His versatile perspective on the genre stems from moving to Bucharest during the city’s golden era of dance music, inspiring a mission to showcase his home country's nightlife capability on a global scale. As a touring artist, Audio State has graduated from commanding the booths of Romania's notable local clubs to capturing international audiences. His tour history boasts performances across major European hubs like Untold Festival, Electric Castle Festival or in countries like Germany (Sisyphos), Switzerland, Netherlands and Finland. Whether sharing the stage with artists like Alan Fitzpatrick, Jon Rundell, Stiv Hey, and Alex Mine or closing out a stage at the acclaimed Untold Festival, Audio State continues to prove that his trajectory is pointing nowhere but up.
