Up and coming Texas based producer Hunter Vaughan makes his debut on AUX with an epic, tech-breaks number. Fusing chunky, tech-funk bass with a smooth production style, this rising young American producer surely has a great future ahead of him. His latest release ‘Krakken’ (Deathproof) has already been doing the damage on the Tech-Funk scene, so expect to see plenty more from this young prodigy during 2011.

Hunter’s awesome ‘Ragnarok’ is backed up with 2 excellent remixes from 2 stars of the UK scene. The 1st remix comes courtesy of Breaks legend Beta, laying down a funky, techy cut with his trademark deep sound. Alongside up and coming Bristol outfit Monk3ylogic, who ditch their usual 4/4 style in favour of a pounding, electro breaks workout.

Jeroen Van Aken is back on AUX with a re-release of one of the label’s most successful tracks of the last 3 years: ‘Switch The Flip’. Not content without also unleashing a brand new weapon, this young producer has also concocted a fresh Bass workout: ‘Eclecto-Tech’, especially for this landmark AUX release.

Alongside Van Aken’s thumping originals we are very proud to present 3 quality remixes which were chosen as finalists from our recent ‘Switch The Flip’ remix competition. French duo The Analogeeks took 1st place with their driving Tech-Funk monster. Making their debut on AUX, these Electro-breaks fiends are no strangers to the Breaks scene. Clocking up many smash releases on some of breaks finest labels including En:Vision and Dirty Drop.

Runner’s up to the competition included new German artist: La Corunia, who turns out a bouncing Electro House cut and up and coming French producer MartOpetEr who polishes things off nicely with his dark Electro-Tech roller.

After many days of sifting through stacks of remix entries and making painful decisions, its finally time to announce the winners of our ‘Switch The Flip’ Remix competition! Just before we do, we want to take our hats off to all those who entered and say a BIG thank you for all your hard work crafting those remixes. There were some really quality entries and we had a very hard job on our hands picking out the 3 top places.

Before we announce the official winners, we just want to mention a few quality entries which were shortlisted but didn’t quite make it to the finals:

Respect goes out to Graham Acidic for his quality Dub-step rework, E.R.G for their bouncy Electro-House wobbler and Andy Faze for his Psy-tinged, Tech-funk thumper.

Thanks guys and better luck next time (more info on that below).

For their rolling, Electro-Tech monster. Excellent production and original sounds from this French duo, with a solid groove and awesome Electro FX. No strangers to the production game, these guys have been rocking many quality dance labels with their stomping, Electro tinged Breaks and its great to hear them ‘switching’ their style to something a little smoother and deeper for their winning entry.

Big ups to these guys for a really quality production, we hope to hear plenty more of their work on future AUX releases.

Previews of all the winning entries will be posted up very soon so watch this space, or even better, hook up with us on Soundcloud and Twitter for more up to date AUX business!
