Los Angeles' mummyshroud is back in action with a new sizzler called "SensiCare". If you've heard mummyshroud before, you know to expect some mutant dancehall with a heavy dose of hip-hop and IDM laced throughout. This one's got a sick, rubbery bassline, some ethereal organ stabs and a riddim that punches like Pacquiao. If you haven't heard mummyshroud before then...well...SMH. Get on it!
I've been promised more mummyshroud material in the near future, possibly even an EP, so stay tuned!


A new track from LA's mummyshroud hits the internets! This one's dubbed 'Soul Scrap!' and features some characteristically lush production blending dancehall, hip-hop and blunted soul with a crunchy trashcan beat and enough funk to ride to in your drop top. You know what to do!

What's up everybody?!  If you're a regular visitor to the site then you may have noticed some changes happening, so I'm here to get you hip to the new style.

There are more share options for each post now - like on Facebook, share on Facebook, re-Tweet, Blog This, email, share on Google Buzz, etc.  If you like a post, please share it and help us spread our tendrils across the world.  We support a lot of great artists here and they definitely deserve all the additional promotion they can get, so help a brotha out!  It only takes a second.

We scrapped the event calendar, which I actually liked, but was just too annoying to keep up and in its place you'll notice our shiny new Facebook widget.  If you haven't added the Gravity Halo Facebook page yet, you probably should because not only do we post up content that doesn't go on the blog, but we're also using the page to promote shows by our featured artists all around the globe.  If you don't use Facebook (WTF?), you can always browse our posts for more content using said widget.

The other thing you may have noticed is the lack of new releases.  Believe me, it's not by choice.  We're eagerly awaiting projects in the works by Mumkai, Mummyshroud, Awkward and Sendy...but while we're waiting for them to finish their masterpieces our slate is pretty empty, so any artists that would like to put something out on our imprint feel free to email us a demo!  We're always on the lookout for new music, so don't be scared, homie!

Last, but not least - it's February 1st and that means The Carrier Wave's Rotation has finished.  Unfortunately for us (and him), Chris came down with a case of writers block, but hey...that's real.  The shit happens, even to the best of us.  Still, some interesting discussions were had and production concepts thrown about.  For the month of February, moto-SLAVE is helming Rotation 2, so check it out!

Big thanks to awkward for taking the time to upload the "Broken Pieces" compilation so that ye may preview it before ye download, listen on the go or just generally be in awe of its awesomeness wherever you may be.

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!

I've been bumpin' this track for quite some time now and I can finally make it available (kinda) for all of you out there. Gravity Halo's own mummyshroud teamed up with producer Max Dank (a.k.a. Andy Cogan) to craft this really sick remix of Snoop Dogg's "That Tree" as an entry to the Indaba Music remix contest. Voting is now open, so you can listen to the track on the widget below, or of course head over to the site, and vote for their entry.

Some lush chords paired with some perfectly flipped vocoder pimping pair together surprisingly well with Snoop's vocal stylings. Bump this shit!

It's 4/20, bro. Here are a few festive tracks for you to enjoy from our Youtube channel.

EDIT: it's a playlist, btw...you can cycle thru it or just let it play.

We're slowly trying to add more content and functionality to the Gravity Halo site and the next step in that direction is our new YouTube channel. It's already loaded with some great tunes by the artists in the collective, many of which aren't posted on the blog, with much much more to come. On top of that, we plan on delving deeper into the lives and work of our artists with music videos, documentary pieces, live footage and whatever else we can think to throw up there. Check out some quality tunes and be sure to subscribe to the channel so you can get notified of our latest uploads. Big tings comin', mon!

But I wouldn't be the hype man that I am without giving you a little taste of why you should click your ass over there and start browsing, so here you go...

What does a house track sound like when you obsess over it for an entire year? Usually pretty crappy, but in the case of mummyshroud's "What I'm Looking For" it sounds well fuckin' badass. I was hearing tastes of this track off Milton's laptop speakers months ago and it sounded great then and now that the mix is finally to his liking, it's sounding better than ever. Do yourself a favor and bump this on a nice system to let the bassline completely pwn you the way it should.

And since it's the first of the month and I KNOW you need just a little bit more to brighten your Monday, check out mummyshroud's foray into chiptune territory with "Likkle Gamebwoy", a 2 and a half minute jam that's been in my fucking head non-stop for WEEKS. Love this one! Excellent way to start the week.

Mummyshroud has been DJing in the Los Angeles area for years now and is just recently getting back to his first love - production. Blending his passion for reggae, hip-hop, jungle, house and everything in between, the results are lush, complex soundscapes that take familiar genres to places you'd never imagine. What would dancehall sound like if you were bumpin' it out the speakers of your luxury hover-car? Well shit, motherfucker...click play on this track "Acid Riddim" and find out!
