Gravitas is ending 2023 with a beautiful look back through this years’ releases, bringing the “Best Of 2023” back into the spotlight.  Featuring Dillard, Floret Loret, Savej, Akriza, Buzz Junior, Megan Hamilton, and many more; this journey spans through all Gravitas styles and has something for everyone.  Gravitas had so many releases this year it was hard to narrow it down, but these 16 tracks showcase a glimpse into each release that fans can further venture into!  

‘Garden Mother’ from Dillard was the title track off his Garden Mother album, a beautiful downtempo bass track with a groove hard not to bounce to.  ‘Warmblue’ from Floret Loret was the first single off Floret Loret’s insane bass music album and he has quoted that this was his favorite track he has ever made.  ‘The Experiment’ from LSTER brings similar vibes with unreal sound design and beautiful synth and vocal chops.  ‘Yu & Me’ from smol & Omnist keeps the bass growling with a slower bass groove that brings us major Charles The First nostalgia and love.  ‘Roar’ from Tribone transforms the heavy bass growls and adds in a tribal beat and actual roars into an epic psychedelic bass rhythm.  ‘Yarnana’ from Savej & Lil Fish is a beautiful collaboration combining their sounds into an epic world bass groove, we have been asking for this collaboration for years!  ‘Where You Are, Now’ from Akriza & Mah Ze Tar is the title track off their album together, and is a perfect showcase of the surreal world bass album they created.  ‘Drip’ from Buzz Junior brings us major nostalgia to the old school trap days and has been demolishing dance-floors, truly bringing this classic trap sound that was so huge from Troyboi, Stooki Sound, Hucci and more.  ‘Running Deep’ from Dissolv is a perfect blend of trap, dubstep, and global bass that is the first glimpse into their heavier new sound.  ‘Ritual’ from Bass Temple & Liinks brings together beautiful vocals and a driving ravey mid tempo groove for a catchy anthem.  Megan Hamilton’s remix of ‘Moon Cloud’ is a funky house remix of Hello Yes’s track that we have been obsessed with every since we first listened. ‘Loud Pipes’ from High Step Society is an insane rework of the iconic Ratatat anthem with their flawless live instrumentation and horns.  ‘Spinnin Up’ from Woofax & Willdabeast

Dillard brings a surreal LP to Gravitas Recordings April 14th 2023.  Full of organic textures, trippy sound design and a calming but upbeat feel, this release speaks for itself and brings out something special for anyone.  Dillon always puts so much effort into his releases and the listener’s journey, this time speeding up the tempo and diving into new territory in a flawless way.  With massive support on all his recent releases, he has gained a strong following of listeners patiently awaiting his next masterpiece.  Each release has so much intention and breaks barriers in the electronic and bass music community.  Dillard stated “It was a very cathartic experience being able to pour so much experience & emotion into this album, but then again I try to put just as much effort into all of my releases :)”

Cubic Nest opens up with beautiful strings and an organic soundscape that continues over heavy bass for a perfect downtempo start to this journey.  Botany Agent continues this sound with added ethereal vocals and a driving kick and drum pattern to build the energy, creating an epic build that teases something big coming and perfectly setting up the title track.  Garden Mother takes this energy and quickly drops into a catchy beat that is impossible not to move to with perfect guitar plucks and foley, this track is captivating and continues to build into a heavier second drop with added bass and scratching.  Way She Goes brings the energy back down with an epic intro of beautiful strings and Dillard’s signature sound, with a more glitchy feel that is somehow heavy and light at the same time.  Blue Flame dives into the calming side of the LP and continues the downtempo journey from the previous tracks, with flawless sound design and an enchanting soundscape.  Far Focus continues more glitchy organic sounds while creating more energy and tension with perfect breaks in the drums, he uses quick silent moments to peak the listener’s ear and give an upbeat feel to a trippy and laid back track.  Flight Plan opens with trippy old school samples of an LSD research experience, and builds into the heaviest drop of the release.  The track before perfectly sets up this and feels like the peak of the LP, while still maintaining the overall style and showcasing a heavier side of his bass sound design.  Technicolor further elaborates on this style with nostalgic vocal samples and a heavy but light drop that is more stripped back to focus on the groove, creating a perfect closing to this journey through Dillard’s sound.

Tribone joins Gravitas Recordings on May 30th with a dark psychedelic bass EP that shook us to the bone.  This EP and Tribone’s production combines tribal elements with gritty bass grooves, uses organic percussions to accompany driven synthy melodies and maintains the dark and kicking stompi rhythms of his approach to psychedelic bass music. It still leaves room for natural sounds and other organic textures that inspire his music and sound design.  From big drums to vocals and the animal world, this flawlessly brings together all kinds of atmospheres and foley for a unique style of bass music.

An Inch of Silence opens up the EP with this surreal tribal rhythms and forest soundscape, transporting the listener into a dark jungle.  This long epic build peaks and drops into a heavy bass driven tribal groove that follows the same drums teased throughout the long build, accompanied by stabby synths and enchanting flute rhythms.  Roar builds upon this previous energy, bringing in actual animal roars and getting straight to business with heavy wubs and glitchy sound design building around the roars and staying true to the song’s name.  This is a stand-out track and is the only single off the EP May 23rd.  Aniraco slows down the energy in what feels like a perfect call and response, opening up with beautiful flute and tribal elements.  A perfect flow jam, it builds into heavier bass and sound design but focuses more on the drum rhythms and not overwhelming with heavy sound.  Losing Touch builds another beautiful forest soundscape with birds chirping that slowly builds into a drop of thumping bass and psychedelic foley and sound effects.  The drop feels almost like a ceremony and brings in vocal chants and more signature sounds to close out the EP in a beautiful way.  It leaves you wanting to hear more from this talented artist and is a full journey through his sound.

Lster makes his debut on Gravitas Recordings June 16th with a groovy bass EP “In Real Time” full of top tier sound design, glitchy beats and a fresh idea of bass music.  This fast paced journey follows different styles and concepts that Lster has been working on, while flowing flawlessly through these different sounds.  The EP is composed of very pretty and emotional moments as well as intense dance moments with drum oriented groovers.  Listeners can expect a wide variety of vibes when listening as each song tells its own story.

“This EP is titled In Real Time. I came to this name because I felt like it represented this group of tunes perfectly. As an artist, when you make advancements in music production you tend to fall in love with what you're currently working on, but your older works seem juvenile in a sense. These 4 songs represent my recent growth as a musician/ artist and all of the lessons I've acquired in the last couple months. I’m continuously growing in real time and continuing to release the pieces that I’m most proud of.” - Lster

Cruising Through starts off the EP with trippy sound effects and synths that make the listener feel like they are cruising through space.  It quickly drops into a lively downtempo drop with huge bass growls accompanied by the original spacey synth, never taking away from the epic soundscape created by the intro.  The second drop follows the same pattern while adding in more glitchy sound effects and perfect vocal chops, feeling as if it is building to something much bigger.  Mal Funktion does just that and leans more into the glitchy bass sound that we have grown so fond of.  Heavy fast-paced wubs and perfect drum grooves can’t keep the listener from swaying along to this one, and is a standout track and the only single off the EP.  The Experiment pulls back from this tempo and opens with live flute and tribal voices, truly feeling like a different style and experiment that LSTER was trying out.  It drops into heavy fast kicks and perfect silent moments to accentuate each downbeat hit, paired with catchy string instruments all around that reel in the listener into a trance.  Feel Real closes the EP by taking an emotional journey of opening piano and beautiful female vocals off in the distance.  It drops into heavy wubs and full female vocals while still a slower track and meditative rhythm, truly a full emotional journey without ever going too hard to take the listener out of the rhythm.  A perfect way to close a surreal EP and showcase his sound.

smol makes his debut on Gravitas Recordings June 23rd with his “Yu & Me” EP, pushing the boundaries of bass music with a fusion of heavy bass and emotional songwriting.  Full of collaborations with friends and family, this EP truly is a journey through his unique sound and showcases what this talented producer is capable of.  smol has had some huge support from endless large artists and record labels, even starting his own label DoYu Digital.  Continuing to push the boundaries of electronic music, this hybrid of sounds perks the listener’s ears and leaves us wanting more!

“For this body of work I aimed to create a delicate balance of energy between dark gritty sounds and lush, swoon-ish vibes. I wanted to join with friends and family on this journey down the fused path of today's hybrid/experimental music. The music I created with three of my friends was made in separate studios, sharing projects files back and forth. While some of the vocals for this EP were recorded from my Wife, daughter and myself in my home studio.” - smol

Do It Different opens the EP with drippy sound design and haunting female vocals, quickly dropping into heavy bass growls and trappy drums.  The track still stays stripped back and brings in more emotional and melodic synths, a rollercoaster of emotions and vibes that holds true to its name as something different.  Yu & Me with Omnist is the title track and keeps the melodic and heavy bass rolling into a beautiful soundscape that gave us flashbacks to CharlesTheFirst productions.  Yet again smol perfectly rides the line between heavy and bass and melodic songwriting!  I Like Yu with ZURGLIN is a stand-out single and is the hardest hitter on the release, quickly dropping into epic bass wobbles and glitchy sound effects.  We can’t help but move to this last one and bob our heads to the rhythm of this track.  Coming Together with Visive brings the energy back down to close out this journey of an EP, with a long epic build of pretty synths, distant vocals and deep reese basses.  After the epic build it drops into a heavy synth while keeping the emotional elements of the build, bringing yet again into a perfect drum & bass second drop.  A perfect way to close this EP with some happy liquid drum & bass vibes!

Floret Loret brings a beautiful and haunting single to Gravitas Recordings August 25th, the first glimpse into his full album coming soon in September.  This dreamy track is a perfect blend of ethereal downtempo and heavy deep bass music, a beautiful journey through both styles while never overpowering one or the other.  Floret Loret was featured on CloZee’s Emergence Compilation on Gravitas, and this album will be his first return after massive releases on Deadbeats, mau5trap, Bassrush, Electric Hawk and many more.  A true full circle moment and this full album is something special that us at Gravitas Recordings are thrilled to share with the world.

“Embarking on his adventure, Napo experiences a whirlwind of emotions, ranging from excitement to caution. Equipped with a spear and a slingshot for sustenance and defense, he ventures into the world, driven by a trance-like sensation that accompanies his exploration.” - Floret Loret on ‘Warmblue’

Warmblue opens with beautiful cinematic synths and a drippy atmosphere full of foley and echoing sounds filling the space.  A breakbeat builds over the beauty for an epic build dropping into a crunchy bass drop without overpowering the original sounds orchestrated.  It pulls back and forth, bringing in heavy bass and call and responding with the synths and melody in a perfect way.  This one keeps listeners on the edge of their seat, almost expecting a heavier bass drop but continuing to build with more melodic elements and keeping the flow and original song ideas intact.
