A.U.W

 

Synthwave and chillwave unashamedly influenced by the soundtracks of decades of dystopian future visions and the inevitable takeover by our machine overlords.

A.U.W swings through breakbeat, trance, tech-house, arriving with full synthwave mode enabled.

It is the electronic music project of Dom Cresswell; pushing strong melodic and harmonic content out of lush synthesiser hardware.

Supported by Synthetix of RetroSynth Records.

In 2021 A.U.W began performing live as the residents of D U S K W A V E S - A new live music event in the South of the U.K, Featuring new tracks and an exclusive vocal support from elevendotone, and alongside the likes of VIEON, BEKIMACHINE, Rodney Cromwell and Infra Violet. July will also see AUW perform at the Tunbridge Wells Forum (Kent) on 27th July and Hot Box Live Events (Chelmsford, Essex) 22nd July

Multiple releases across the year included two singles, an E.P , various remixes and a debut album Across the Plains. The sound ranges across facets of darksynth, retrowave, chillsynth and cyberpunk. The first album packs a a punch and is heavily led by M13, with more dark synth vibes with Storm Bolter.  Described by Outworld Sounds as "a beautifully crafted cinematic treat and a great addition to any synth lover's collection."

The first vocal track The Window Show was released early in 2022, and the second album, Twilight Drives, has a more chilled tone than before and is naturally a reflective evolution compared with previous releases. Laid back tempos, subtler breakbeats, but retaining its use of retro synthesiser sounds, and signature synthwave traits.

A.U.W have also featured with synthpop two-piece Young Empress after remixing their fantastic single  Ghosts , and have been recently performed this live along with a remix of Memory Box with long-term collaborator eclectic synth-pop maestro Rodney Cromwell, of which Spill Magazine says; "The second mix, by Retrosynth Records artist AUW, is a slice of dark synthwave, pitched somewhere between Kavinsky and Pye Corner Audio"
