Fresh from the electronic hotbed of Colorado comes \u201cThe Center of Gravity\u201d on Gravitas Recordings, the debut EP from bass heavy producer The Digital Connection. Right out of the gate, genre lines blur as this six track EP embraces considerable influence from dubstep and glitch hop without ceding exclusivity to either. Crisp and textured sound design contrasts the stirring melodic progressions throughout each track\u2019s diverse arrangement, keeping the listener fascinated and eagerly anticipating every twist and turn.<\/p>\n
Spawned from dreams of broken toy sounds, \u201cUnusual Entities\u201d starts the release off with a healthy dose of midtempo bounce. The funky title track shares a similarly upbeat rhythm, effortlessly blending relaxed chords into bubbling bass noises as the song progresses. Both \u201cAn Imbalance\u201d and \u201cOn A Brighter Note\u201d focus on rolling 808s and pitch-bent synth work, manifesting injections of psychedelia into the 140bpm environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnusual Entities\u201d gets a heavy re-glitch from Gravitas\u2019 own Cryptex, taking a slightly more aggressive approach without losing structural integrity. Headtron\u2019s emissary Goldrush brings up the rear with a seductive take of \u201cOn a Brighter Note\u201d, focusing more on the lush intricacies of the original while keeping the bassline more restrained and tasteful.<\/p>\n
As a free gift, The Digital Connection has concocted an anthem-esque remix of Flight Facilities\u2019 nostalgic track, \u201cCrave You\u201d. The rework expands on the original\u2019s innate feel good qualities while adapting it for a dancefloor setting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
