Primaveral EP Pt. 2
Various Artists
Coming Soon in May/June

Rift - Astral Bridge

Alland Byallo - Haunted Heart

Peter Seligman - Bingo Fleece

Lance Desardi - Match Point (Jason Short Edit)

Domingo Castillo - It Could Have Been You


Auralism's fifth release kicks off with Rift's Astral Bridge, a dark, cinematic soundtrack to a cityscape of the future, complete with the standout production the imprint is increasingly known for. Alland Byallo follows with Haunted Heart, a dark, peak-time cut where aggressive, grumbling synths build into a buzzsaw crescendo of white static.

Next up, Peter Seligman's Bingo Fleece brings a playful, tight, and decidedly techy bounce to the proceedings, while noted SF producer Lance Desardi shows his techno-oriented side with Matchpoint an powerful track with an analogue feel and bulbous, dubby undertones.

D. Castillo rounds the release off with It Could Have Been You, which shows off a completely different, more introspective side of the label, with beautiful, sprawling melancholic tones that hang over glitchy, syncopated drum programming.

arlsm D004 [DIGITAL ONLY RELEASE]
Primaveral EP Pt. 1
Various Artists
Coming Soon in May/June

Miguel Colmenares - Tapipas Groove

Limaçon - BA Incandescent

Crazy Larry - Rooftop Music

Habersham - Donotdonut

Clint Stewart - Wormwood


SF-based Auralism returns with an EP of the label's signature techy, psychedelic sound.

Miguel Colmenares leads off the release with Tapipa's Groove, a crisp, melodic mid-paced groover buoyed by a big bottom end. Limaçon follows with BA Incandecent, an angular, slightly deranged cut from the asylum (or a particularly twisted after hours), complete with off-kilter vocal grunts and chantings over tight production.

Crazy Larry's Rooftop Music rides a tough, aggressive beat through a ethereal and sublime breakdown, while Habersham's cut – the most fluid option of the bunch – seduces with a deep, hypnotic rhythm and incredibly nuanced sound design.

Finally, Clint Stewart's Wormwood is the hardest and most techno leaning track on the release, with a poised kick drum cadence, woozy bass and a dark yet colorful hook.

COTK - Too Many Machines
Now Available on Beatport & iTunes

VINYL SOLD OUT!

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.

Aural Therapy 1.3 Singles
Now Available on Beatport & iTunes

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.

Aural Therapy 1.2 Singles
Now Available on Beatport & iTunes

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
Now Available @ Select Stores!
Online Ordering Also Now Available

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.
