REVIEW: Arkham Knights - Gravity out on Coldharbour Recordings


Their ascension towards the forefront of trance music's next generation has been relentless throughout 2017, and the brotherly duo of Arkham Knights is set to release arguably its most anticipated creation to date. Much like their humble nature, they obey the fitting title of Gravity.

Harnessing their experiences amassed through their performances at Coldharbour Nights staged at hallowed venues such as Avalon in Los Angeles, Ben and Stuart Turner's growth has been a stamp of pride for label owner Markus Schulz. No sooner had the dust settled on their State of Mind EP that lit up Coldharbour in the summer, that a mysterious ID became the beacon of attraction throughout Global DJ Broadcast and World Tour events.

With a rhythm that sets the pulse racing and a melody to make the heart soar, Gravity quite rightly is being spoken in circles as one of trance's best outputs for 2017. Tried and trusted in the biggest of settings, from Tomorrowland to Dreamstate, it will be an essential on the playlist as Amsterdam Dance Event approaches.

And as the Turner brothers proudly take to the stage for their Coldharbour Night at the heralded Ministry of Sound in London this November, Gravity will be a call to salute them.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Arkham Knights are on great shape delivering awesome music so far. Gravity is another prime time example of their knowledge and great production techniques. They compose for us a powerful and super dynamic big room mainstage trancer with heavy tribal like basslines, pounding drums, headbanging kicks and great emotional breakdown with harp like synthy plucks melodies that add melodramatic touches to the proceedings. Slowly and gradually the massive main synthy riff is coming at the top to bring havoc and hysteria. The great progression of the melody adds depth and give waves of goosebumps from head to toe. With dark haunting moody melodies and unaccountable amounts of energy Gravity is here to uplift us straight away. #PureGold Love iT[/content]
