The experimental terrains of music have always been a testament to an artist’s internal battles. Gromo’s recent venture, "The Vortex", stands as a confessional platform, a homage to the myriad influences that have shaped him – from the eclectic streets of NYC to the spectral worlds of genre films.
Braedon Gromek, better known as Gromo, isn't just a producer but an alchemist. With roots deeply embedded in the dynamic vibrations of hard rock, heavy metal, and the resonant stories of 90s hip-hop, his compositions have that touch of the old, and yet, they’re unequivocally futuristic. Dubstep coupled with the aggressive zeal of drum and bass and hip-hop influences make "The Vortex" more than just an EP; it’s a voyage.
The music video accompanying this potent single is nothing short of a time capsule, albeit a speculative one. The NYC of 2028 feels like a gloomy reflection of our current anxieties, a tangible dystopia. Yet, through this bleak narrative, Gromo's hope shines through.
His journey, marred by the shadows of mental health struggles, is captured profoundly in "The Vortex". Here, the drum and bass rhythms don't merely exist for pleasure; they pulsate.
In this 'brave new world', Gromo demonstrates that even in the darkest vortex, there's a rhythm, a melody, and most importantly, a story waiting to be told. And he's just getting started.
