about

Gladkill’s sophomore full-length release Ossuary has been a long time coming. His official follow up to 2016’s After Death, Ossuary is a multi-genre foray into familiar sounds and new territories. Ossuary is a collection of post-dubstep compositions with influences ranging from wave, garage, grime, bass music, trap, melodic hip hop to everything in-between. With a heavy emphasis on melody and harmony, Gladkill has put together a collection of songs that go beyond their electronic origin. “I wanted to write tracks with recognizable and unforgettable melodies - if I was to sit down at a piano, or pick up a guitar and play a phrase, you would know exactly which song I was playing.”
An ossuary is a building, chest or site made to serve as the final resting place of human remains. The album was influenced by Gladkill’s father’s passing in late 2017. With the album nearing completion in late 2018, the drive holding the primary project files for the album was damaged and the backup corrupted. Feeling completely dis- heartened, Gladkill stepped away from releasing new music and left a lot of the tracks on this album unfinished and abandoned. With renewed musical inspiration (and a good amount of free time due to COVID) Gladkill painstakingly rebuilt and re-recorded the original tracks and wrote new material to accompany the original vision throughout 2019 and 2020. The release of this album marks a tremendous burden removed from the artist’s shoulders, with his insistence that follow-up projects won’t take nearly as long.
With a reinvigorated passion for songwriting and performance, Gladkill is back, and is ready to continue push- ing and evolving the melodic low end sound that he has helped pioneer.

Gladkill Oakland, California

Refusing to stick to the comfort of making one style of music, Boris Gladkikh aka Gladkill has rewarded audiences through the sheer diversity of his songs, as he deftly moves between dominating dance floors with his sexy, crunked-out club bangers, to captivating home stereo speakers with more downtempo and melodic material. ... more

These five tracks tell a lucid story with tones and textures, AND nearly demand you move your body during each piece. This EP calls between critical nodes of musical DNA that link together many of my favorite parts of the electronic scene. Good for a party with that edgy energy, a firespin, or night drive!

I keep playing and playing this over and over again. Sometimes more often than others but I always seem to come back for that inner geometric reset of the hologram 👽I feel like I’m listening to the best representation of light = electricity = what we are 🙌 been following David’s story for 20+ since London days. There’s no fav one for me, the geometry comes full circle and it’s perfect! The joy is in the mystery my fellow beings ☀️ Papas
