Since spawning into the limelight in 2023 with an impromptu set at Electric Forest, Levity has been busy setting the electronic world ablaze. From hit singles like Flip It to viral remixes of tracks like M.I.A’s Paper Planes and electrifying performances at major festivals throughout the US, the Chicago-based trio is not only on a meteoric rise to the upper echelon of dance music but is redefining the bass scene in the process.
Now, just days after a massive performance at the mainstage at Lost Lands, the Levity boys are flying even higher with the arrival of their debut EP Escapism, Vol. 1.’
Released on Wednesday, September 25, through Deadbeats, Escapism Vol. 1 is an immersive sonic experience that not only captures the essence of their explosive rise but takes listeners on a bass-fueled journey through the multiverse.
Levity creates a sonic utopia.
Spanning across seven bass-heavy tracks Escapism Vol. 1 transports listeners into a wonky sonic utopia residing outside our perceived reality.
Initiating the first launch with Escape, Levity greets listeners with the words of an otherworldly being. “Escape reality into your own,” the mystifying voice exclaims before the next track Ignition launches you into the abyss through a face-melting explosion of heavy bass and funk-fueled beats.
You then embark on an L-ride through the universe with Chill as wonky basslines, hazy yet hard hitting wubs, and ProbCause’s entrancing flow take you on a cosmic trip through time.
As the journey unfolds you’re overtaken by the familiar yet captivating sounds of the record’s lead singles Flip It and ONE FOR YOU before the earth-shaking, downright dirty bass drops of Jaded send you further down the rabbit hole. The adventure then comes to an end with Reawakening as ethereal voices, euphoric soundwaves, and soul-soothing melodies welcome you into a comforting dreamlike dimension.
“The goal was to create a world you can escape to, away from all of the problems & pain life has, while exploring & embracing the pros of escapism in everyday life,” Levity explained. Enjoy the first of many editions exploring this world!”
