State Of Art

**State of Art** is the brainchild of German electronic musician Thorsten Adler, a project that’s been crafting moody, retro-futuristic synthscapes since the late ’90s. Known for blending darkwave, EBM, and synthpop with a gritty industrial edge, Adler’s work under this alias feels like a time capsule of underground club culture. Tracks like *Dancefloor Statements 1981-1982* nod to the raw energy of early analog synth pioneers, while newer releases like *Silberblick* and *At Work* showcase his knack for pairing brooding atmospheres with hypnotic beats. Though he keeps a relatively low profile, State of Art has built a cult following for its unapologetically nostalgic yet forward-thinking sound—perfect for fans who crave neon-lit dystopian vibes with a side of dancefloor grit.
