The Colorado-based duo Adam Deitch and Borahm Lee known as Break Science have unveiled their brand new self-released Grid of Souls. A long-awaited follow-up to their 2013 Seven Bridges, the dynamic and eclectic 10-track LP showcases their full and diverse sonic range, serving as an aural embodiment of Break Science’s original and pioneering electronic sound.
Kicking things off with powerful vocals courtesy of Raquel Rodriguez in their synth-driven production “Cruise Control”, Break Science fuse generations of New York’s rich musical legacy with their own deep-rooted connection to hip-hop heritage. Their new release features special guest collaborations with Lettuce, ProbCause, CTZN and Apryl Sashay, Karl Denson and Lenesha Randolph, Brasstracks, and Paperwhite.
Raised and influenced by the rhythm and culture of New York City, the pair merges their production styles seamlessly, creating a refreshingly original take on electronic music. “We put years of life experience into this record,” the band explains in a press release. “These songs had me feeling all kinds of ways during the process of finishing them. All the emotions. It’s funky as hell during some parts and laid back and ethereal in others. We’ve managed to make the infusion of live instruments into the production more seamless than ever before. Instruments are NOT a gimmick for us. We’ve been pro musicians before all of this. I have a good feeling our fans will be intensely feeling this release.”

Check out the music video for “Cruise Control”, produced by Lazer Shark, who creates Break Science’s visual content, below. “For the Cruise Control video,” he explains, “I took a decidedly enigmatic approach. Conceptually built around the album’s name; the Grid of Souls, this video is a mix of cinematic samples and analog synthesized video projected on to a grid of mirrors. I wanted there to be an overarching air of mystery while still portraying both the hopeful and melancholic sides of love. It is a journey worth taking several times as more and more will be uncovered each time you watch!”. Enjoy!
