Zero Gravity by Vlada Asanin & DBlaster: A Trip You Didn’t Know You Needed
So, I stumbled across this little gem the other day—Zero Gravity by Vlada Asanin & DBlaster. Released back in 2012 on Zero Urban Records (Spain repping hard!), it’s one of those albums that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Genre-wise, we’re talking electronic and house vibes with a heavy lean into tech house. It’s not gonna change your life or anything, but man, it’s got some moments that stick.
The album kicks off strong with “Zero Gravíty” (yeah, they spelled it differently—it’s artsy, go with it). This track? Pure energy. The beat hits like a caffeinated heartbeat, and there’s this synth line that just loops around your brain until you can’t ignore it anymore. It’s the kind of thing you’d throw on if you’re trying to hype yourself up before heading out—or maybe even cleaning your room like it’s a nightclub. Honestly, I couldn’t stop nodding my head to this one; it’s got that perfect mix of groove and edge.
Then there’s the title track, “Zero Gravity.” Okay, so this one’s smoother, more chill—but still packs a punch. There’s something hypnotic about how the bassline rolls along, kinda like being pulled into space without any resistance. You know those nights where you’re vibing solo, staring at the ceiling, letting thoughts drift? That’s what this track feels like. It’s less in-your-face than “Zero Gravíty,” but it’s got its own quiet magic. Plus, it reminds me of late-night drives through empty streets—just you, the road, and whatever weird existential crisis you're having.
What makes Zero Gravity stand out isn’t necessarily groundbreaking innovation or anything super flashy. Instead, it’s how these two tracks—and really, the whole album—feel like a snapshot of a specific moment in time. Like, you can almost picture Vlada Asanin and DBlaster holed up somewhere in Spain, messing around with synths and drum machines, just vibing together. And honestly, sometimes that’s all you need.
Here’s the random thought I’ll leave you with: listening to this album made me realize how much music from 2012 sounds kinda… hopeful? Like, people were making tunes as if the world was still full of possibilities, before TikTok ruined everything. Weird, right? Anyway, check it out. Maybe blast “Zero Gravíty” next time you’re feeling blah—it might just pull you outta your funk.
