  • Jane Remover – ♡

    Jane Remover is on the craziest run right now. Honestly, she hasn’t stopped running since Frailty if you ask me, but when Revengeseekerz came out, something shifted. The mix of experimentation and mainstream appeal hit all the right notes and the internet, Pitchfork, and Danny Brown all seem to agree. It has a finely tuned…

  • More Toxic Music, Less Toxic People (please)

    An Editorial by someone unqualified to talk about anything. It’s become a common occurrence among my social circle to utter the phrase “be kinder” to each other accountable for the horrible, terrible things we say and do. Granted this is a phrase drenched in irony, as usually the person who is saying it has said…

  • 50landing – i could have sworn

    When I first became embedded in the music communities that have now shaped my taste there was a small handful of names that were synonymous with the scene. The obvious ones are names like brakence, ericdoa, midwxst, but then there’s slightly deeper cuts like login, and notably 50landing. 50 has been a bit of an…

  • pnkdrco – for what it’s worth

    They say timing is everything, and it’s moments like today when that couldn’t feel more true to me. If you’ll rewind with me for a moment, you’ll recall that last week I wrote an article covering pnkdrco’s move on! which came out this Monday. What you may not know is that the article was written…

  • THE ARCHIVE: pnkdrco & Blulone – move on!

    Did you wake up this morning and think to yourself, “wow my playlist is absolutely phenomenal, but it’s really missing a song that starts by making me think I forgot to leave a discord call”? If you did, please get help, but I by some bizarre means have something to fill your needs move on!…

  • Darling I Dreamt – What You Want

    The best part about monitoring underground music is that you start to spot trends pretty fast as they develop, and recently I’ve had my eye on a very specific one. By sheer chance this week we released an editorial talking about how bringing back clubbing could fix all the things, which while being a loaded…

  • Dylan Longworth – complete metamorphosis

    Dylan Longworth has a particularly special place in the AuraLink canon. You see, long before AuraLink was even conceptualized I previously wrote for a blog called Itasca, and during my brief time there I wrote about a handful of artists including Sneaker Kids, han.irl, and notably Dylan Longworth. In fact, the very first song I…

  • vi0let & Wolf Cutt – MIRROR

    I’m not gonna lie to you, it’s 9:40 in the morning, I’m standing in line for a new pokemon card drop like the nerdy gambling addict I am, and I’m listening to a track that feels somewhere between club ready complextro and the dubstep that sculpted my music taste through middle school. Needless to say,…

  • gottsy – sazerac

    I write this message from inside my cozy little cave in the woods. It’s cold and damp, but it’s got good bones, a well stocked bar (a handful of half empty bottles sitting on a large rock), and great atmosphere. My only complain about my humble abode is that in the night I hear the…

  • Colliding With Mars & Elijah Who – lust + pride + sloth

    Ah yes, the well known 7 stages of cardinal grief sins: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, lust, pride, acceptance, and… sloth? Wait that can’t be right. Colliding With Mars (not to be confused with Jared Leto’s 0.008333 Hours to Mars) is an artist who’s always played a key role in sculpting the sound of what I…
