Other aliases

Remover has released music under many pseudonyms throughout their career. The most notable of these aliases is leroy (used interchangeably with c0ncernn), under which they created sample-heavy EDM mashups. These releases sampled a wide range of sounds, including pop songs of the 2010s, viral videos, and even Remover's own music. The cover art for each song released under the leroy moniker were screenshots from the TV series Daria, which led to the term "dariacore" being used to describe the unique production style that Remover used for these releases. Three compilation albums of the forty tracks uploaded were released on the account from to . The "Dariacore" series of albums have since inspired many artists to adopt a similar style of production, releasing short sample-based EDM tracks themed around popular media.
