Source of Gravity has been one of the mainstays in the progressive scene for fast approaching a decade. Between their labels, artists, radio shows, events and several others key elements "The Source" has reached all corners of the global progressive soundscape. Support from every main DJ has been key with the names of Paul Van Dyk, Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Sasha, Nick Warren, Paul Oakenfold and Anthony Pappa all known to support the label at various times of its 8 years existence.
Reaction Key Points : Ryan Returns to The Source after making his debut on the label back in September on the Jairus Miller - Dynamic Interlude - 'The Remixes', with his cool rendition of 'Glass Jaw'. This time he treats you to an EP called 'Source EP' packed full of progressive goodness with deep lush sounds and melodic touches, an EP not to be sniffed at! Ryan Crane - 2009 has been, by far, the most productive year ever for New York City based artist Ryan Crane. With a string of music productions this year signed to some of the most well respected labels in the Progressive House and Trance scenes, Ryan has been able to continue to push forward his creative sound with a passion that many are starting to understand. Along with his growing skills as a producer and DJ, he has been able to continue expanding as a visual artist as well. With several large scale mixed media paintings completed and a dedicated approach to refining his visual style and taste, it’s easy to see that this is one faithful soul. Ryan releases have landed him on label like Baroque, Jetlag Digital, Atlant Digital, Olaris Recordings and Mining Vinyl.
