awkward
awakened EP
GRH-001
This mesmerizing EP from San Francisco-based artist awkward was originally recorded in 2005, but remained unreleased until now. This record is thick with some amazing sample chopping and collaging and easily asserts itself as an instant classic from the very first listen.

Force Fed Funk (Reissue)
GRH-002
Sendy has released some amazing tunes over the last decade plus, but Force Fed Funk is an early gem that was almost impossible to find until this Gravity Halo re-release. We had Sendy remaster the original DATs for this version and it sounds great even after all these years!

Interceptor
GRH-003
The ultra-prolific acid scientist, Chris Moss brings the Blade Runner inspired analog jams on this EP. Giving his beloved TB-303 a few moments of much needed rest, 'Interceptor' delivers lush pads, banging drum machines, sick basslines and some lovely ambient goodness.

Midnight Mass
GRH-004
The debut LP from San Francisco's moto-SLAVE is an introduction to his concept-driven, science fiction landscape. Paired with the ongoing written story by the same name 'Midnight Mass' delves into the sights, sounds and happenings of a near-future San Francisco.

Colors
GRH-006
Where moto-SLAVE's debut offered an introduction to his retro-futuristic story world, 'Colors' delves deeper into the seedy dive bars, underground dance clubs and drug parties that populate San Francisco's decaying neighborhoods. Pulsing with funky rhythms, catchy vocal hooks and analog synths galore, this EP is perfect for dancefloor and headphone alike.

Broken Pieces Compilation
GRH-007
With tracks by Gravity Halo regulars Acidburp, awkward, Cats On Earth, Chris Moss Acid, Mumkai, moto-SLAVE, Milieu, Rock Hyrax, Sendy and William S. Braintree this compilation runs the full spectrum of independent electronic goodness. Ambient soundscapes collide with frantic breaks, neck-snapping beats, jazzy samples, dark acid squelches, synthetic funk and micro-glitch experiments, yet remains surprisingly coherent throughout.

Dissolute Lichens
GRH-008
This record by New York's Rock Hyrax blends complex micro-glitch beat work with a tapestry of samples, field recordings and wandering melodies into a unique sound that reveals more layers with every listen. Quirky at times, dead serious at others, this EP takes orchestral sound collaging to a whole new level...that's assuming that the term orchestral sound collaging even has a real meaning other than what I've just made up in my head...

Mumkai
EP-1
GRH-009
On "EP1", Mumkai delivers an eerie voyage through dusty samples, crisp, snappy beats, funky grooves and psychedelic ramblings to create a sound that evokes LA's current beat luminaries like Flying Lotus and Nosaj Thing, while bringing his own trademark vibe to create something that's a bit heavier on the hip hop vibes, a bit more rockin' and a lot wonkier.
