A 15 year veteran of the nudisco and italo scene with many releases, remixes and international DJ gigs as Auxiliary tha Masterfader, introduces a new downtempo project as part of a personal search for the sound that defines him today. In 2021, Auke Riemersma rediscovered his love for downtempo sounds & tracks released by labels like Mo' Wax, Wall of Sound and Warp. This new chapter in his career resulted in a new alias, AUXR and the ‘Suite of Flow’ EP release in the summer of 2022. The three instrumental tracks, ‘Canada’, ‘Dope’ and ‘Enjoy the Sounds’ are filled with organic trip hop beats, deep bass lines, legato synths & strings woven into a warm and slightly distorted production. Captivated by the power of collaborations, AUXR is working on separate single releases with outstanding talented singers. The first release in this series is ‘Plastic Love’, a seductive tune with a catchy chorus and impeccable production, written together with Icelandic singer Stina Ágústsdóttir. AUXR's second single release of 2023 is a collaboration with singer PHUONG from electronic pop act DARKDAYS. Emotive pads lay the foundation for “Try”, a dark, downtempo trip-hop track with a high end production, about a woman on a quest to the unknown. A song reminiscent of Portishead, Massive Attack and other contemporaries.
