Aux Raus, a Dutch post-hardcore duo consisting of Bastiaan Bosma and Luuk Bouwman, formed in 2004. Their music blended hardcore punk with techno beats, often described as "gabber punk." Aux Raus released their debut album This Is How This Works in Mexico on the Nuevos Ricos label in 2006, followed by a Dutch release through Fear Recordings in 2007. The album won both a 3VOOR12 award and an Essent Award for best album. In 2009, they released their second album The Brick Is in the Air under TopNotch Records, marking the first gabber punk act on the label. Aux Raus announced their disbandment in July 2011 and played their final show at Paradiso in Amsterdam on January 21, 2012.
