Gravitape - Its Not Right (Drum & Bass UK Premiere)

Gravitape’s Its Not Right blends sweeping synth work, heavy neurofunk pressure, and sharp drum energy on the opening cut from the In There EP.

Some tracks walk into a mix slowly, then suddenly take over the whole room once the drop lands. Its Not Right handles that transition beautifully.

Gravitape stretches the intro out with wide synth work and a soft female vocal that leans closer to darker R&B textures than straight neurofunk atmosphere. Underneath it all, heavy guitar-like strums start pulling tension tighter and tighter without overloading the arrangement too early.

When the drums finally hit, the release feels massive.

The bass design is pure sci-fi pressure. Thick, aggressive movement through the mids and subs, but still controlled enough to leave room for everything else happening around it. The drums snap hard as well, tight enough to keep the energy pushing forward without turning messy.

What really stays with you though is the melodic detail floating above the weight. High orchestral synths drift in and out of the mix almost like distant choir textures, softening the edges just enough before the track pulls you straight back into the low-end again.

It feels huge on a system. Not just loud, properly wide. The kind of tune that lifts the energy in the room without needing cheap switch-ups or constant fake drops to hold attention.

In a set, this sits naturally in heavier peak-time territory, but there is enough musicality in the arrangement to stop it becoming disposable once the moment passes.

Its Not Right opens Gravitape’s forthcoming In There EP, released May 8th via VTO Records.
