Premiere: Helter - Respite

Northeast London-based Helter drops his first release of 2021 with six tracks of bustling, nostalgia-tinged house for an uncertain world. “Double Crush” is a warehouse workout wrapped in melancholia and stitched together with punching basslines, airy synths and shimmering pads. Each track is anchored by simple, dancefloor-centric rhythms and shot through with threads of melody and warmth, from the sweepy opener “Chord Circles” through the silky “Absence” to the expansive “Fixable.” On the heels of EPs on Truth and Forgot Imprint last year, “Double Crush” is doubtless indebted to electronic music’s trailblazers yet fresh and forward-thinking enough to forge a path of its own.

PREMIÈRE: Helter - Absence

@heltermusic returns to Truth Radio with another EP of skipping electro/house rhythms, shimmering pads and glistening minor-key melodies. More for headphones than dancefloors, Fold builds and dissipates in intensity over six tracks, each with a warm, analogue-based palate and a digital sheen. The beats have slowed to a mid-pace, giving space to a delicate patchwork of synths and rhythmic components that ebb and flow throughout, not unlike Floating Points or Patricia. Fans of Helter’s earlier underground house releases won’t be disappointed, but Fold offers much more texture and depth.

El sonido Graveton tiene su origen a finales de 2010 en los estudios caseros de djs y productores de países de todo el mundo. Producciones analógicas o digitales de baja calidad pero con mucho ingenio a la hora de usar los ritmos de la cumbia y el reggaeton para procesarlos con samples del folclore andino, colombiano y mexicano. Con los años y los avances tecnológicos las producciones iban adquiriendo mayor calidad en cuanto a sonido y a contenido artístico. Aunque siempre hay excepciones, los más radicales y ortodoxos que aún conservan la manera primigenia de producir y ejecutar piezas de graveton. Es lo que se conoce como graveton lofi o graveton casero.

En la actualidad decenas de artistas siguen produciendo graveton en sus estudios, centenares de djs lanzan tracks de graveton en cientos de clubs de todo el mundo y miles de personas bailan graveton cada semana en las pistas de baile de diferentes clubs, fiestas locales o cualquier tipo de evento con carácter festivo o cultural.
Etimológicamente graveton proviene del sonido de frecuencia baja o grave, en inglés bass, y el sufijo ton del mismo sufijo que en reggaeton. Al ser producto de una mala producción el prefijo grave señala ese carácter desafortunado de la obra.
Desambiguación. Graveton (Creative Commons - 2011) También es el nombre de la primera referencia de la disquera online Caballito Netlabel y está dio lugar a posteriores entregas, Graveton II (Creative Commons - 2012), Graveton 3 (Creative Commons - 2012) y Graveton IV (Creative Commons - 2015)

Dicho esto sólo queda presentar el GRAVETON IV, y con motivo de que Caballito cumple cinco años, este es nuestro regalo.
El Graveton IV contiene 38 tracks llegados de todas partes del mundo. Nombres ya conocidos, otros no tanto y nuevos descubrimientos gracias a internet que siempre provee.

Incluye BONUS TRACK Bigote feat Funko - Kumbia Borroka (2011), en un edit 2015 de Bigote. Kumbia Borroka fue la primera canción de graveton de la historia, de la cual se extrae la frase “Caballito is too much porn”

Amigas y amigos bailadores, músicos, productores, djs, blogs, webs y publicaciones, gracias a todos. 
A bailar!

Helter (@heltermusic) has stomped his way onto the scene with little more than a name and a track back in January; however, when strong enough there's not much else that's needed. Today we’re highlighting another spellbinder from Helter’s upcoming and self-released debut. “Realtime” finds itself residing in the 5 spot of this release, though don’t let that deter from its stunning quality. “Realtime” makes use of a melodic, hearty bassline, fluttering tonal washes and truly rolling percussion to whisk listeners to a fuzzy headspace full of muted hues. It’s distorted pads and haunting, yet fleeting vocal stabs place this number squarely between the clouds and the dancefloor, perhaps even bringing them together to create a unique atmosphere, both grounded and soaring. Below we ask Helter a bit about himself. Take a listen to the premiere and learn a little about the man of the hour!
