Aux Animaux is the darkwave and hauntwave solo project of Turkish-born, Stockholm-based musician Gözde Düzer. Since its formation in 2015, the project has combined darkwave, post-punk, gothic synth, and cinematic horror influences into a distinctive sound shaped by haunting vocals, driving bass lines, and the unmistakable tones of the theremin. Inspired by occult themes and classic horror films, Aux Animaux has become a respected name within the international dark alternative scene.

Beyond her music, Düzer is also known for her strong commitment to animal rights and veganism, values that are reflected in both her artistic vision and visual work. With acclaimed releases including The Hydesville Episode, Hauntology, and Body Horror, as well as performances alongside acts such as She Past Away, Aux Animaux continues to captivate audiences with atmospheric live shows that blend dark aesthetics, emotion, and experimental soundscapes.

This year, 2025, headliners included Test Dept., Cut Hands, Thorofon, Portion Control, Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, Mono No Aware amongst many others.
