You can now stream the Adequate Remixes EP via awkward's soundcloud page.  To hear the tracks in all their full, non-compressed glory, you can still grab the limited edition, handmade double-CDr release of the remix EP + the original Adequate EP from awkward's website.  Plus, you'll get 2 extra mp3 remixes when you buy the record, so it's a pretty sweet deal.  Better get on it.

The package is priced at a very reasonable $7 USD and is limited to only 40 copies, so get it fast or spend the rest of your life in a deep, dark well of depression, lamenting the missed opportunity. Everyone that orders the album will also receive 2 extra exclusive mp3 remixes by Pink Space and Lucid Rhythms.

Listen to a short sampler of the Remixes disc after the break.

Well friends, we're 8 months into this Gravity Halo undertaking and so far, so good.  We're steadily gaining readership, hits and most importantly, we're putting out a TON of great music by some really talented artists and giving them a platform for their music to spread across the globe.  Now that's not to say that we've reached our goals or even a comfortable resting place because there's lots more room to grow, but it is a great time to put together a release that sums up what Gravity Halo is all about.  Thus, we present to you our first compilation/mixtape - "Broken Pieces".  These 14 tracks run the spectrum, from awkward's ambient noisescapes to Acidburp's lush, progressive breakcore to Mumkai's neck snapping beats to Sendy's epic sound adventures and Rock Hyrax's intricate micro-glitch - the styles vary drastically, but the connecting threads are clear.  These are all incredibly skilled independent artists that are driven by their love of making tunes and that's apparent in every second of this record.  

Enjoy the release, spread it around, repost, reblog, re-fuckin-tweet, tell some dude on the street...let's do this, people!

Stream the album after the cut:


The weekend is over and you're probably sitting at your desk wishing you were dead, but fear not! There is beauty in the world and you need to remind yourself of that before you end up losing it and possibly murdering somebody.

For that I recommend this wonderfully tranquil video by friend of the blog, Milieu, depicting the first snowfall of the season in his South Carolina home set to one of his unreleased ambient tracks.



Brian Grainger, better known by his many aliases, including Milieu, Coppice Halifax, Vhom, Pink Space, etc., has been prolifically releasing music for years and has already amassed a discography that most musicians would be lucky to hold a candle to throughout their entire careers and he shows no signs of slowing down. As the proud owner of many of his releases, I highly recommend you check his stuff out!

He remixed the Cats On Earth track "I'm Sorry We're No Longer Friends" for the "Le Debut Heureux" EP (downloadable @ that link) and will also appear on awkward's upcoming remix EP that is currently in the works, so stay on the lookout for that.
