Active Child – "Hanging On" (GRVRBBRS Remix)

Last summer, EARMILK spotlighted Pat Grossi's—aka Active Child's—impassioned debut LP, You Are All I See. Pat's soulful falsetto led listeners on a reflective journey,exposing them to themes of love and heartbreak, infidelity, and internal struggles finding one's identity. Lead single "Hanging On" proposes the question of whether the pain from keeping a failing relationship together outweighs the sorrow endured from losing a lover, a situation many have known before.

Not intimidated by the introspective nature of Pat Grossi's work, the Brooklyn production duo GRVRBBRS (pronounced Graverobbers) melts their nü-disco grooves over Pat's entrancing vocals. The twangy retro-style synths, reminiscent of a time where big hair, shoulder-pads, rollerblading (insert any other 80's stereotypes) were deemed socially acceptable, purpose a disorienting paradigm. The uplifting disco-tech beats tempt the listener to get up and dance, juxtaposing the meditative croons which percolate through GRVRBBRS' additions. Whether the track warrants dance moves or idle reflection may be confusing, what is certain is the track deserving your attention. Give it a listen and if you enjoy, feel free to download.
