Short Album write up (feel free to put in own words or change as needed):
Stay The Course: Is the debut album on Superbest Records for newly announced artist Willdabeast. Will Glazier and co-producer Daniel de Lisle present a new approach to Electro-Soul and instrumental Hip-Hop by bringing boisterous horn sections, stacked synthesizers and heavy bass to their music.  Aware of the sample based history of the genre, Willdabeast endeavored to bring collaborative artists into the studio to record (and sometimes replace) live instruments and vocals, crafting a fun, personal journey through the album.  Fans of funk, hip-hop and electronic music alike will all find what they’re looking for on Stay The Course.

Similarly, the album art, by graphic designer Mike Lunde is an attempt to encapsulate these personal experiences and questions surrounding the theme of duality,  He combines natural photographs of mountain ranges and juxtaposed images from around the Pacific Northwest, where the group is based out of.  Lunde sums it up perfectly, “What I did was I took an image from some regional mountains and kind of twisted them together, as if to make them appear stronger, working together.  I went with the idea that your album has a couple different things pulling it in different directions, you take these elements and twist them all together, to show how they can work harmoniously.  It also signifies bringing together big things in your life, and doing your best to make them all work.  For some people, its twisting work and a balanced lifestyle, for you it’s probably family and music, being gone a lot from your family isn’t easy and you need a strong, connective support system to enable the constant supply and creation of art required to advance in this industry all while finding time to continue to perform and simultaneously taking care of your obligations at home.

Aware of the sample based history of the genre, Willdabeast endeavored to bring collaborative artists into the studio to record, and sometimes replace samples with live instruments and vocals, crafting a fun, personal journey through the album. We were fortunate to have many friends join us from our hometown and from our travels including Matt van den Heuvel (who plays guitar on more than half of the album), Vokab Kompany (San-Diego based hip hop band) and locals Brittany Littke, Sinclair Hucke, Gary Washginton on vocals, Todd Templeton (drums), Matt Taggart (bass), and more.  There is even a cameo from Glazier’s acclaimed father, Dr. Loss Glazier, a published author, tenured professor in new media and owner/operator of the largest poetry database in the world, on the song “Way Back”.

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.
