Denver-based producer A Hundred Drums demonstrates her wide array of instrumental talents and genre diversity on her self-titled album, available this Valentine\u2019s Day on Gravitas Recordings. Sitting comfortably at seven tracks, this album is Gabrielle Watson\u2019s most ambitious project to date.<\/p>\n
Detouring from the deep dubstep sounds that first made a splash in the scene, Watson uses A Hundred Drums to create her own sound and break away from familiarity by showcasing her vast musical influences.<\/p>\n
The Valentine\u2019s Day release date and self-titled album is a symbol of what A Hundred Drums intends to accomplish: \u201cA Hundred\u201d was chosen for its spiritual and societal primacy, and “Drums” call our hearts to beat in sync. A Hundred Drums aspires to align all listeners’ heartbeats to her BPM, unifying us all in the music. We beat with one collective heart on the day celebrating love.<\/p>\n
A tribute to her passion project, \u201cShakti Sound\u201d sets listeners on a globetrotting journey into mysterious and minimalistic 808s. A Hundred Drums puts a spotlight on her signature hand drums in “Circles,” which blend in an abstract, downtempo experimental soundscape before James Xavier sings of a wicked\u00a0flame. Dashing down the dark road, A Hundred Drums tells the haunted tale of the \u201cBoogie Man,\u201d slicing through inky blackness with an eerie bassline and haunting whispers.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cPsy.Area\u201d incorporates cascading psytrance as liquid bass is gradually dripped onto the track. Featuring A Hundred Drums\u2019s first official collaboration with fellow Denver artist, Templo, \u201cApex\u201d rides the wave through a cave of deep dub and metallic beats. Vibe Emissions \u201cCircles\u201d back to offer an energizing remix of the aforementioned song, incorporating various deep dubstep rhythms and textures. Legendary producer Leon Switch remixes \u201cLord of Tings,\u201d released originally by Heavy Traffic Recordings and featuring Jayne Gray, into a seductive stupor, closing out A Hundred Drums’s self-titled album in a state of bliss.<\/p>\n released February 14, 2020<\/p>\n Artwork by B1n4ry Visuals<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Denver-based producer A Hundred Drums demonstrates her wide array of instrumental talents and genre diversity on her self-titled album, available this Valentine\u2019s Day on Gravitas Recordings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":789,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_cat":[25],"product_tag":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gravitasrecordings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5324"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gravitasrecordings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gravitasrecordings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gravitasrecordings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gravitasrecordings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gravitasrecordings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5324"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gravitasrecordings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}credits<\/h3>\n
