Who is TRASHWORLD? TRASHWORLD is an LA-based electronic music project formed by Dani Miller, frontwoman of punk band Surfbort, and multidisciplinary artist, DJ, and performer Ashley Smith. Born from friendship, creative chemistry, and a shared love of underground culture, TRASHWORLD lives at the intersection of punk, rave, electro, and unapologetic dance-floor chaos.
Blending pounding electronic beats, industrial textures, distorted synths, infectious hooks, and punk-rock attitude, their sound is provocative, euphoric, and deliberately unpredictable. Drawing inspiration from underground dance culture and punk icons, TRASHWORLD creates music for the weirdos, outsiders, and beautiful disasters.
An important part of the project’s creative universe is friend and collaborator MNDR (Amanda Warner), the electronic artist, producer, and songwriter, whose production and songwriting help shape TRASHWORLD’s distinctive electronic sound. Their Livin’ in a Trashworld EP also features contributions from Tim Armstrong, legendary frontman of Rancid, and producer Dave Scott Stone.
Emerging from the creative chaos of Los Angeles, TRASHWORLD is a collision of punk attitude, electronic euphoria, and underground club culture. Fueled by rebellion, nightlife, humor, and a healthy dose of beautiful weirdness, TRASHWORLD isn’t about escaping the chaos, it’s about embracing it, turning up the volume, and dancing through the end of the world.
