In a captivating display of Seattle's underground electronic music scene, Tremulant unveils Gravit - Tremulant Community Sampler, a compilation album that pulls listeners into a mesmerizing vortex of deep house, minimal, and otherworldly sounds. This nine-track journey, designed to immerse the audience in the music, showcases the diverse talents of local artists, each contributing their unique voice to create a cohesive and immersive experience.
From the opening notes of monotropa.'s "Deriva," listeners are transported to a spaced-out, biotechnical world filled with organic percussion, deep synths, and provocative grooves. The artist's second contribution, "Cava," is a late-night gem, simmering with pronounced organic elements and a sizzling lead that will keep dance floors moving until the early hours.
Eliogold's "How Fast You Play" is a standout collaboration with renowned Las Vegas-based pianist Mirko Barbesino (MKB), seamlessly blending musical virtuosity with irresistible dancefloor energy. Kinj0's "Biomarker on Ilus" explores sinister yet groovy territories, crafting a narrative that balances deep space dystopia with a cosmic dance party—a perfect tool for story-telling DJs.
Other highlights include Jon Lee's "Texture Color," a deep melodic beauty that audibly translates texture and color to life, and Monday's Heartbeat's "Square Jive," featuring a rotating ensemble of musicians, including Forrest Roush on guitar and Daniel "Danimal" Wilson on keys, with special guest Nathan Hall.
With additional tracks from Diana Ratsame, Hector J Rodriguez, and Joe Bellingham, Gravit reveals the force of Seattle's underground electronic music community. As Tremulant eloquently puts it, "each of the collaborators here interweaves their creative abilities into a release representing the dynamic and versatile flavors of the deep house found in the local scene," emphasizing the sense of community and shared creativity. Gravit is an invitation to explore the depths of Seattle's thriving electronic music landscape.
