AUX 88 (US) @aux88

Premiere at MUTEK Montréal | Édition 24

Nocturne 1 on August 23, 2023

Mastered by @pheek (audioservices.studio)

__

Aux 88’s live performances very much feel like a rousing old-school Hip-hop show. Though the latter certainly has legitimate claims on Aux 88’s sound, so do Techno, Miami Bass, Trip-hop and Funk. Still, the Detroit-based pair never aims to fit a narrow definition, but rather strives to make people dance, by any means necessary.

Drawing inspiration from 90s-2000s Deep house, Dub techno, Electro, Minimal and Ambient, Anatohl proposes a dynamic and visceral musical patchwork; groovy and at times bittersweet, melancholic and ethereal, filled with cavernous bass, sparkling percussion and stellar layers.

For their first stint at MUTEK as a duo, the two artists, who had collaborated in various ways before, showcased a convergence of their respective practices: Amselysen, known for their chaotic and iconoclastic interventions and a unique sense of subversion; Racine, renowned for his mastery of spatial and temporal gesturality, often accompanied by a lush sonic vocabulary.
