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!

All the California readers out there take note! Bay Area-based Record Label Records is hosting their first 2 day festival on September 23rd & 24th at Zool in Oakland and it's a massive line-up chock full of Gravity Halo regulars. "Cremation of Care" is the first ever multi-day festival from RLR and here's hoping they continue it annually if they're able to put together acts like this.

Oxynucid has been a busy boy lately, prepping his upcoming "Vault 13" full-length on Complex Sound Sagacity, gigging, playing festivals and even helming the August Rotation here on the Gravity Halo site. And somehow in the middle of all that, he's found the time to deliver these 20 searing bangers in the form of "Refreshed & Compressed", available as a digital download from his Bandcamp page for ₤6.99.






These 20 tracks are loaded with fuzzy synths, emotive melodies and video game landscapes paired with an almost shoegazey vibe that really sets Oxynucid apart from the pack...it's even got a Radiohead cover (of sorts). While more of a compilation of assorted tracks than a cohesive album, this one is well worth the time and money and will almost certainly get you hyped up for the "Vault 13" release.

Multiple personality disorder is a rare and misunderstood mental condition. Sometimes, a patient's MPD can turn ugly. In some exceedingly rare circumstances one personality can turn on another, creating such cognitive dissonance within the patient that recovery becomes nearly impossible. Please note the case of Acidburp vs Rat-Faced Boy. In this study, patient A, herein referred to as Acidburp - a normal English man in his early 30s - began showing signs of a second personality, who referred to himself as Rat-Faced Boy. While early treatments showed signs of the Acidburp personality maintaining a dominant role in the patient's psychology, when heavy doses of acid were administered through the aural pathways, CAT scans showed that Rat-Faced Boy's prominence began to grow within certain areas of the brain. Repeated tests involving various doses of acid all yielded similar results and the conclusion was drawn that in select cases personalities could be called up and controlled with some reliability. For now, the Acidburp/Rat-Faced Boy personalities remain compartmentalized within the mind of the patient, but concerns have been made by many medical officials that further testing could result in a complete collapse of cognitive function.
