The latest by Texan-turned-Angeleno progressive vaporwave producer Carlos Ramirez aka&nbsp;AURAGRAPH&nbsp;finds him shifting focus to the dance floor across eight chrome clockworks of cosmic acid house and liquid rave glide:&nbsp;New Standard. Inspired by lessons learned during a 5K mile American road trip tour in the summer 2022, he set to work in his Simi Valley Tuff Shed of synths and hardware, pursuing an explicitly DJ- friendly muse: “I realized I wanted to make a record where every track could go off in a live setting.”

These cuts do just that, revved and rhythmic, peppered with slap bass, Madchester whistles, filtered acid, gated snares, baggy cowbell, and sample pack classics – record scratches, orchestral stabs, the “Yeah! Woo!” from Lynn Collins “Think (About It).” Ramirez describes the process as immediate and instinctual: “I’d turn on the MPC, pick a tempo, and just improv – it was incredibly fun.”

From sleek freeway techno (“110 Cruising”) to arcade lurker acid (“Coast 2 Coast”) to big room bangers (“666 Ambience”), the tracks time-travel across the canon of club music, sifting tricks and styles to fashion fresh anthems of hypnagogic jack. It’s an album channeled as much as crafted, tapping into the decks of mythic warehouse infinities past and present, where the system rips all night and acid never dies.
