Mind and Body, out March 15th on Gravitas Recordings, is a true testament of Zingara’s sound. Gaining traction non stop between going on the road with SubDocta for his “Strictly No Business” tour, announcing support for Subtronics’ ‘Cyclops Rocks’, and continually going viral on TikTok, she is a quickly rising force in the underground bass scene. Inspired by her love of spirituality and witchcraft, she seamlessly makes waves from start to finish in her first ever EP.

Kicking off the EP, the title track, “Mind & Body”, talks about the separation between the mind and the body, and what that leaves us and how that opens up peoples minds to the infinite possibilities of the universe. Each song incorporates dark and light elements, telling its own story. 

“It is a place in your mind that you can achieve through meditation where there is nothing. Like a blank slate. When you get to this peaceful place in your mind, it is almost like a reset.” -Zingara

“Mind and Body” introduces the EP with mystical vocals, building up to an anticipating hard-hitting drop that strikes with punchy kicks and mind-shattering bass, getting the listener submerged from the very start. “Spell on You” creates a wicked atmosphere encompassing soft spoken vocals, slowly leading us into the drop that’s packed with grimy bass, taking us to another dimension. As if it couldn’t get any heavier, “Deeper” takes us to a darker element filled with powerful bass, leaving you to not focus on anything else other than how it feels. “Magick is Real” incorporates fluttery elements, embracing ethereal sounds that translate to gut-punching bass that perfectly shows off Zingara’s versatility.

Buzz Junior returns to Gravitas Recordings on January 24th with ‘1234’, a huge collaboration with New Zealand producer ASHEZ. This is the first release of 2025 for Gravitas, and comes ahead of Buzz Junior’s full Stacks EP landing January 31st.  Focusing on the old school sound of trap and blending it with modern day dubstep and bass music, Buzz Junior brings a twist to classic sounds.  This single does just that and has signature sounds you’d expect from both artists, blending together for an energetic track that has been demolishing dance-floors. With the single and EP artwork paying homage to old school trap art, this fresh sound and release is the full package.

‘1234’ opens with hype trap synths filling the air, and a catchy vocal hook bringing old school sounds of The Notorious B.I.G.  Sparing no time, it immediately slams into a huge drop combining Buzz Junior’s bounce and ASHEZ’s signature sound design that perks the ears. Using massive reeses and top layer synths to take over the full spectrum, this track is something huge.

“Max (ASHEZ) is a fun guy and I think that really comes through in the music he makes so its always a good time working together.  1234 is one of those tracks that we had been kicking back and forth over the process of like two years.  There have been a few different versions and arrangements and we finally got it dialed in as I was finalizing the EP.” - Buzz Junior

In the modern world of electronic music, running a label is no easy undertaking. The task requires a specific type of flexibility and finesse to maneuver through rapidly evolving landscapes, and because of this, often labels fall off as quickly as they begin. After five years steering the movement of multi-genre bass music, Gravitas Recordings has proven itself an anchor in the industry, even if success is not always measured in play counts or festival billing positions. 

As a label and artist collective, Gravitas has helped cultivate uncounted experiences for passionate music lovers across the world, and as a celebration of five years in this labor of love, the crew has released a compilation to honor a truly noteworthy milestone. The 34 track collection spans only a tiny corner of the label’s massive 100 album catalog, but still offers a healthy slice of the varied styles and artists that have collaborated with Gravitas over the years. New challenges will undoubted await the team in the years to come, but if the past is any indication, Gravitas Recordings will meet every obstacle with creativity and dedication for the foreseeable future.
