First off, we are very pleased to announce Gravity Radio! That’s right! We’re now streaming internet radio 24/7 full of nothing but past Gravity clients! Tune in here and discover a few gems old and new. You can stream it at work at your desk, in your car via iTunes, or even (as Doug does) when you’re exercising! There are at least a couple songs from each of the (over 250!) CDs that Doug had on the shelf in his office. The songs are in “Shuffle mode” so it’s quite interesting to hear authentic early 90s Grunge rock next to Alt Country or Twee artists — you definitely won’t hear that on a normal radio station. Learn more about Gravity Radio here. If any past clients would like to be included on Gravity Radio, send us an email and we’ll get your songs on our playlist.
Recently, Lee DeWyze’s label, WuLi Records returned to remix and remaster Lee’s first album, So I’m Told with Doug McBride. Look for the re-release of the album coming soon on Universal Records.
Joe Peven was busy engineering this fall in addition to holding down the office. Joe manned the controls for Shawn Kellner’s production of The Run Around’s Side Affects May Vary. Look for the release on November 20th on Window Licker Records. Joe continues to work behind the glass with local mind benders Dropped Once whose new single will be available soon on iTunes. Our youngest engineer, Ian Spudes, has been working with Polish pop artist Jolanta Skawiniak as well as Chicago rap artists Michael Cage and Brandon Love; but the hazing is still an issue….
Tribeca Flashpoint Academy students are gracing our doorstep on Monday and Wednesday mornings as they attend Doug’s Studio Recording III class. It’s fun for all of us as they all become defacto members of the Gravity family (if for only a few months…).
In other news, Doug is currently putting the finishing touches on Anna Fermin’s (of Trigger Gospel fame) new EP. The new material is very cool, almost like an collage of different textures, watch out for that!
