Franklin DeCosta Remix

Argenis Brito Late Nite Mix

The flagship artist in the Auralism fleet, Coalition of the Killing lead off with Too Many Machines, where thick walls of static sit in a haze over a dub techno groove, building in atmosphere and intensity with sci-fi tinged vocoders and razor sharp synth stabs. The Argenis Brito Late Nite Mix dubs things out nicely, adding crisp percussion to contrast the dark grooves, while the Franklin DeCosta Remix is the late night option of the bunch, and wouldn't sound out of place in a particularly twisted session at Berlin's Panoramabar.

Jason Short & Clint Stewart - Mimetic

Miguel Colmenares & Jason Short - Trading Abuses

Dead Seal - Spark

Auralism Digital 003 kicks off with Short and Stewart's Mimetic; a lumbering, heavy, yet oddly fluid track that seems to blur the lines of time and genre. Trading Abuses finds melodic stabs cutting through dark, crunchy tones while Sparks is the headiest selection of the lot. Dead Seal's production is an immersive, often haunting affair that builds into resonating and oddly disorienting church bells and panning vocal incantations over dark, ambient tones and a deep groove.

Luther Mandross - We Set Them Up the Bomb

Kyaro - Good in a Bad Way

COTK - Alpha y Omega

Luther Mandross, a collaboration between Jason Short and Roman Stange, kicks off the release with their cheeky reference to Internet pop culture. Sci-fi tones sit over a mid-paced groove with plenty of tight, skeletal percussion to keep things engaging. Good in a Bad Way highlights Auralism's penchant for beautifully off-kilter tracks with melted melodies, warped bass, and plenty of pitched-down vocals and effects. Alpha Y Omega finds COTK walking their trademark line between gritty dancefloor heft and cerebral flourishes˜most notably the panning arpeggios that plant themselves smack in the middle of the mix to achieve an immensely hypnotic effect.

Roman Stange - Paratroupr (Jason Short Remix)

Le Chous Chou - Tu Balli

Miguel Colmenares - Retocante

On the first installment of Auralism Digital, each cut suits its own, functional purpose in the night. Roman Stange leads off with a nuanced, early evening track that builds through a syncopated, experimental introduction, flowing into straight 4/4 with a pronounced melody, and finishing cleanly with a beautiful, pitch-bent ambient outro. Le Chous Chous bring a techy building block to build up the pace and tension, while Miguel Colmenares' Retocante is a sparse, hyponotic music for the deeper ends of peak time.

Aural Therapy 1.1

After signing a strong series of releases for the forthcoming year, San Francisco-based label Auralism Records kicks off with their debut commercial release; a mix of the imprint's unreleased music, selected and mixed by label boss, DJ, and producer, Jason Short.

Aural Therapy provides an overview of the nascent label's range of sounds, spanning time-stretched, high-tensile minimal techno constructions, to raw, warehouse cuts, to gritty, acid stormers with industrial undertones. The label's releases are all united by a relentless attention to sound design, finding the elusive balance between sonic detail and cerebral textures and raw, dancefloor physicality.

In addition, the mix features remixes by Short for two tracks by Alland Byallo (Kontrol SF) on Nightlight Music, as well as Billy Dalessandro's Are You There? on Siteholder Records.
