AUGER aka Dave Woolrich is a UK based electronic music producer. He has been producing all sorts of electronic music for the last fifteen years, but always seems to be drawn back to the dance music arena. This is his true passion.

Dave first got into production in the early 90’s mainly influenced by the sounds of the happy hardcore scene and tracks being spun by DJ’s such as Slipmatt, DJ Rap, MC Connie, DJ Diamond, Daba and TJ..

However, it wasn’t until the late 90’s, when living in Liverpool, that Dave met Colin McKay and started to focus on house music production. Colin was a sound engineer and producer that worked with some reputable dance music labels and introduced Dave to some great new software and production techniques that he still uses today..

Dave has produced tracks for several TV ads, corporate videos and magazines in the past, but has never been a big fan of producing to a brief. He likes to let the music flow and what ever is produced will be, or be not. .

His biggest “claim to shame” was producing a series of tracks for an “adult film”. Although, he was never convinced that people were listening to the music. There were also complaints from the actors about being able to keep up with the BPM!.

On a more positive note he has supplied remixes for Faithless, Tim Deluxe, Blanco and Parker and also Miagi in more recent times. .

He is a great believer that good house music comes from the soul and should be put together with passion and pride. All the new developments in music technology help, but at the end of the day you still need some talent. Imagine what Mozart could do with Logic Audio!.

Augers debut EP is set for release in late 2009 and Dave is looking forward to finally getting his material in to the hands of DJ’s across the globe..

And yes, an AUGER is a type of drill bit. However, Dave used to live in a place called Alsager. We always used to call it “AUGER”..
