Gramrcy & John Loveless - Highdive [PH118B]

10 COPIES HAVE BEEN FOUND IN THE ARCHIVE AND ADDED HERE. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED.

'Highdive' returns on its second pressing on a limited white-label vinyl with a free wav download. Strictly one copy per customer.

Having been extensively road-tested by DJs including Daniel Avery, HAAi and Gerd Janson, 'Highdive' finally arrived on Phantasy in 2022 with tangible anticipation. The work of less-than-shadowy figures Gramrcy and John Loveless, the pair had previously passed lockdown and beyond remixing artists such as WH Lung, Discovery Zone and Ghost Culture. Representing their first original material, 'Highdive' was soon played by DJs as diverse as Bradley Zero, Justice and Gabrielle Kwarteng, as well as being animated for 2ManyDJs new live show.

Gramrcy & John Loveless take a golden opportunity to plunge dancers into the sublime and the ridiculous. A long anticipated explosion of energy. While a stripped-down ‘Beats Mix’ sees the pair adopt a less-maximal approach, leave it to Schacke to stretch 'Highdive' into hardcore rave heaven.
