Title and artist in one field. Slash focuses the box.

Name a song.
See its lineage.
Type a title, tap a chip, or tap the mic while a song plays. Then scroll the method.
Beat 01
Say the record.
Don’t describe the vibe.
Aural needs a title, not “that tropical song from 2015.” Type it, let the mic hear it playing, or tap a known chip. Lean On is enough.
Lean On Major Lazer
Listen
Tap the mic while a song plays. Aural fingerprints it, or hears you say the title.

The atlas chips below are real recordings, already mapped.
Beat 02
Match the recording,
not a mood board.
Public catalogs return artwork, year, and a store tag. That tag is a shelf label — useful for shops, too wide to be a lineage.

Aural refines it
EDM → Tropical House → Moombahton
Beat 03
Split the shelf label
into three rungs.
Genre is the family. Subgenre is the room. Microgenre is the night. None of them may repeat — that was the Lean On bug, and it is banned.

Catalogs collapse Lean On into one bucket. Aural has to refuse that and lift the track into a real ladder. Same label on two rungs is treated as a defect.

Beat 02
House is a room.
The corners are the scene.
Tech house, deep house, tropical house — same family, different nights. Lean On sits in tropical house, then moombahton. That last step is the microgenre.
EDM → House
Example recording
Tropical House → Moombahton
Lean On · Major Lazer
A bright house palette meets a dembow-leaning swing. The last step names the tighter scene.
Beat 03
The rule, six times.
Every row is three different words. Read down a column and you get family, room, scene.
