About Coalition of the Killing: The unified alter ego of Jason Short and Marc Smith, Coalition of the Killing is the flagship of the Auralism fleet. Having met in Florida in 1999, Short and Smith fused their mutual love for otherworldly head trips and steel-toed synths into a longstanding collaborative relationship. By 2003, their collective musical vision had widened to absorb the new strains of minimal techno and German IDM leaking from across the Atlantic. But as they developed their sound, it became quickly apparent that their music possessed a musicality and sense of humor that was wholly unique to Coalition of the Killing. An electrically charged amalgamation of crunchy rattling percussion and cauterizing analog synths, COTK's off-balance productions were meant for a party where the floorboards aren't quite level and the walls could collapse at any time. They were also ahead of their time, as it turned out—after receiving voluminous praise but no firm offers, Short and Smith decided to use COTK as the fulcrum to launch their own imprint, Auralism, in 2005. They have been getting much support on dancefloors everywhere from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Dan Curtain, Mia, Paco Osuna, Florian Meindl, and many others. "When Marc and I write together we tend to get really abstract," explains Short. Smith agrees: "We can be grinding and grimy, but at the same time quirky and weird, even ethereal. You may want to wear your helmet!" |
