Derek Ryan and Alex Fixed (Darren Flynn) met in the early part of 2010, where a meeting of the minds was formed - Derek commissioned Alex to remix some of his forthcoming releases, and through that connection Aureal was born. Aureal's first official release was a remix for Inspired Records (William De Wolf - Easy Come). Since then, and a lot of studio time later, Aureal have releases on Dirt, Lies... & Audio and Redbox records, are currently working on a hard hitting vocal track featuring a secret new talent, and other exciting directions of new aural experience. Recent Aureal supporters include Markus Schulz, who featured Black Ice in his Global DJ Broadcast radio show (one of the world's biggest online dance shows), Paul Webster, Suzy Solar, and many others. Exciting times are ahead for Aureal as we come close to the end of 2011; and lots of new releases planned for 2012.
