Unlimited Gravity - One to Watch


Unlimited Gravity AKA Ronnie Weberg is an up and coming glitch hop producer from Denver, Colorado. I discovered him a few months ago and have been particularly impressed by him as of late. He first caught my interest with his 7 track compilation 'All Day Every Day'. When it comes to Unlimited Gravity you can expect crisp, clean production quality, rich melodic texture, a bassline that bangs and his characteristic synths that make the tracks instantly memorable. Plus all his tunes are at least 5 minutes long which is DOPE because I never want them to end..

ANYWHO, enough talking, get to listening. Here's his latest compilation:
Secondary Dominant by Unlimited Gravity

Annnnnnd here's one of his past compilations:

make sure to cop it if you're diggin' what you hear :) My faves are "All Those Little Things" and "Heimerneimer"


Until next time!

GET YOUR MIX ON - KRISPY


















Krispy has been a DJ in and around the area of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada for approximately 5 years now. It started at a “learn to become a hip hop DJ class” in the beginning. However, the true interest was always in electronic music. It was then that Krispy met DJ Floorlayer and was taught how to truly refine his style as an electronic DJ.

Taking influence from a variety of artists such as Hatiras, Stupid Fresh, AC Slater, JELO, Excision, Zodiac Cartel, Electric Soulside, Noisia, Nero…. The list goes on to really create a diverse style with many different types of influences and genres.

Beginning as a vinyl hard house DJ, the style gradually evolved to CDJ’s and electro house over the years. And, more recently, the style has been dubstep/drum and bass.

Krispy has played at various clubs within the city of Edmonton over the years as well as Motion Notion Music Festival in Drayton Valley, Alberta this year. Also, more notably, he has had 2 guest appearances on the dubFWD radio (88.9FM) show in Baltimore this year.

His latest accomplishment was having the electro house style tune, “Swamp Step”, signed to the Transendance label. This marks the first successful year of being a producer. More productions are in the works leaning towards the electro and dubstep genres.

Expect many more releases and upcoming shows to come in the future from this exciting and diverse electronic artist.
