abscond – lexington station
It’s not a secret that there’s a weird amount of overlap between the remnants of the hyperpop movement and the resurgence of the punk movement in recent years. Despite being incredibly different from a sound perspective, there’s a lot of the same emotional sentiments in its counter-culture core that has lead of lot of artists…

AI music is making my job so god damn hard
An Editorial by someone unqualified to talk about… you know what screw that I am qualified to talk about this one. There is a lot of talk at any given time about how AI is coming to take our jobs. As a music journalist, music producer, and advertising student, I’m kinda boned on all 3…

Intentions – https (Spotlight: jikkou suru)
I believe it was Abraham Lincoln who said, “if your bass bumps hard enough, they will come”, and any time I hear an Intentions project it’s an inspirational quote that comes to mind. Sound design is an artform within production that many dabble in, but few truly master in the way this Michigan man with…

sheidA – P.A.R.T.Y
There’s a consistent narrative in the cultural zeitgeist that young people have zero desire to drink, club, party, and go out at large. It’s an insight I hear incredibly often, but despite even seeing the numbers to back it up, I can confidently say that it’s largely false (or at least blown out of proportion).…

Bryce Bishop – Exit
“This is going to be the first summer of our lives.” One of the most beautiful sentiments in the world. It both means nothing and everything all at once. It sets the tone for the new Bryce Bishop mixtape “Exit” perfectly. Not only is it a great callback to “Spark” (One of my favorite projects…

How to make your friends listen to your music suggestions in 1 simple step! (free download online no virus)
An Editorial by someone unqualified to talk about anything. Horrible headline aside, I came to a realization this week that’s going to make me seem incredibly stupid. I end up having to explain what AuraLink is on a pretty regular basis in my real life to explain things like “why are you editing a tiktok…

THE ARCHIVE: j<3 – drugs don’t matter
Every once and a while during my infinite search for new music I stumble upon something that on first listen (and every subsequent listen after) causes me to get excited and physically jam out. It is, to be blunt, completely embarrassing if anyone is around to see (as I have literally no moves), but it’s…

Auralink’s Top 7 songs of 2025
Because 5 is too obvious, 10 is too many, and 6 is too round. Hello and welcome to the first annual “AuraLink’s 100% objective top 7 songs of the year” awards, where we look at the horrible clickbait list Rolling Stone puts out and we say “hey, we can do that too”. 2025 has been…

THE ARCHIVE: katie MAC – screen
It’s 2:34am as you lay in bed staring at your ceiling. The LED mood lighting you bought on Amazon is tinted a deep magenta as you stare longingly through your phone. The display of your phone flashes photo after photo of your ex, who despite how much you pretend you are not over, and in…

kuru – Audio diary
By this point, I would describe Kuru as a household name in the underground. If you haven’t heard about him, you’re missing out. Following his come up over the past 5 years has been nothing but wonderful as a fan. His evolution alone is a testament to long term artistry. He has become so unapologetically…
