"The debut edition of Aura drew a sold-out crowd to the Parco Archeologico di Segesta in western Sicily, one of the island's most significant ancient sites, home to a remarkably preserved Doric temple overlooking the surrounding countryside. The response from both audience and site confirmed what the Aura team had set out to demonstrate; electronic music and heritage locations can coexist in a meaningful way."
"Luigi Biondo, Director of the Archaeological Park of Segesta, said: "A connection between nature and architecture - this is exactly the path we shared with Aura, an event that brings the world together through music and beauty. The time has come to place our trust in young people, because they are the ones who will help us find new paths, and care for the extraordinary places that surround us.""
"On 1st June, Richie Hawtin headlines at Palazzina Cinese, an 18th-century royal residence built as a retreat for King Ferdinand III, as Aura continues its programme of electronic music events at Sicily's most culturally significant locations. Aura's debut edition sold out beside the ancient Doric temple at Segesta, and now the series moves to Palermo."
"Few artists have shaped contemporary techno as decisively as Richie Hawtin. Founder of the M-nus label and a defining figure of the Windsor-Detroit scene, he reached international recognition through his Plastikman releases and DJ sets that have continually pushed the technical limits of live performance. From early '90s warehouse sets to headline slots at Time Warp, DC10 and his long-running Ibiza residency ENTER., Hawtin has remained one of the genre's most consistent innovators."
