"Convulsic’s beats are on par with Skrillex, but even then, his own intensity and vision show through as the bright star he’s meant to be. - indiemusicnews.com"
Erik’s musical style developed quite differently than the typical electronic musician, as he explains, “I was initially into bands like Metallica, The Offspring, and even Tom Petty.” This early fascination with hard rock led Hale to take up guitar and keyboards and teach himself to play. “I think my early work with the guitar and piano was a big influence on my musical development,” He continues, “Working with instruments gave me a better ability to arrange and orchestrate my electronic compositions.” However, to see just how Erik Hale became Convulsic, you have to take a step back to understand how deep his love is for the craft of music.
“I remember hearing some techno remixes of Mario Brothers and Zelda game music, and I was amazed,” offers Erik. By the time he was twelve, he was already playing in bands and heavily influenced by the genres of reggae and punk. He has been on stage ever since; it is only the genres that have changed. Once he heard groups like Pendulum and Skrillex; he was hooked forever on Electronic Dance Music and started to morph into the electronic musician he is today - Convulsic.
By 2012, Convulsic was ready to release his first single; “Lava Lamp” and it immediately scored him a single licensing deal with an independent underground label. His debut EP Syndrome spread more like a pandemic throughout the rest of the year. The tracks on Syndrome infected listeners with their incredible attention to the arrangement and musical phrasing of the tracks. His detailed soundscapes throughout Syndrome are heard clearly in the bass and synth collisions in songs such as “Deconstruct” and “Electric Dum Dums.”
Convulsic has been called dubstep’s breakthrough artist of 2014, but what lies ahead for this amazing artist is just as enticing. In addition to another new EP release, he will soon be featured in EDM World and XXL Magazine, both highly respected music publications. In July, Convulsic will perform in front of his biggest audience yet, opening for the renowned Zomboy as part of The Outbreak Tour at the home of San Diego’s loudest sound system at Somewhere Loud.
Some musicians chase trends, Convulsic sets trends. Put a midi controller and a turntable in front of him, and you can see why in two short years he has incinerated the dubstep charts. So maybe your Syndrome can be treated? Maybe you can learn to Love Space and your surroundings again. You just need a little ECT via EDM, let’s call it “Electro-Convulsic Therapy.” Convulsic has the cure, so just strap yourself in, ‘cause your brain will never be the same.
Press Release
What Happens When You "Love Space"
Convulsic’s EP takes him to the top of dubstep charts.
Love Space is the second release from San Diego native, Convulsic. The title track from the EP quickly rose on the charts, gleaning number eight on the Next Big Sound Chart via Billboard.com. The attention from the EP also rapidly catapulted Convulsic to number one on the global dubstep charts on Reverbnation.com.
Convulsic continues to be a trendsetter in the worlds of electronica and dubstep. He pulls influence from mainstream artists such as Flux Pavilion and Skrillex - all while maintaining his own unique, passionate artistry. The title track "Love Space," is a hard-hitting, synth-splitting dubstep track that takes charge of your speakers and intensifies your senses. With light soundscapes and gentle melodies, the song quickly brings in rougher elements; including impactful drums and gnarly synths. Before you know it, you're trapped into the song's growling bass lines and snarling synths.
The other two key tracks on Love Space include “Strangers” and “The Day You Left.” “Strangers” displays a subtle trance theme with video-gamer samples. “They Day You Left” has an almost “Enya-esque” intro that explodes into a syncopated synergistic arrangement that could wake the dead.
Convulsic does a remarkable job in exploding his bass-filled tracks while later imploding his song for a smoother audio experience. His new EP Love Space is defining his sound that is leading him to success within the electronic community. If bass music enthralls you and can't get enough of dubstep, find out what happens when you Love Space.
