AUX 88 DLP

What happens when you take an accomplished dancer who's musically trained and a mobile street DJ who's classically trained and unleash them in a studio? Well, if the conditions are right, you might get Aux 88. But not overnight...

From 1985 to date, through RX-7 to Frequency to Sight Beyond Sight to the Auxmen and back to Aux 88, Detroit electro is strongly represented by Tommy Hamilton and Keith Tucker. Sometimes referred to as techno-bass, they integrate early Detroit and New York electro, Miami bass music, and the dark, gritty analog edge of Detroit techno into a futuristic beat music all their own.

If anyone mistakes their live show as a scaled down electronic hip hop oriented Parliament show, well, you're not too far off the mark as Aux 88 is one of the few groups who remember that techno has its roots in the hip hop of pioneers like Afrika Bambaataa, Planet Patrol and Newcleus. They tour actively and circle the globe in their hunt for new converts to their futuristic message.
