Gridlok - American Dream - Project 51 Recordings

In 2009, on a typical sunny day in downtown Los Angeles, Gridlok was at his home studio fiercely working on his next album. Meanwhile a few floors above, a young woman was standing on the edge of his roof staring through the Los Angeles skyline contemplating about how her American Dream died long ago. While deeply focused on his task at hand, Gridlok was suddenly distracted by a loud scream, and then a bang, and then silence...

"American Dream" is inspired by this true event and pays homage to those who have lost their dreams. May we never lose ours.

Incredibly tense intro, this guy knows how to create atmosphere

[Midekai]

This is an underappreciated tune and the video perfectly portrays the message of the whole project.
It's something that has always been a horrible problem with our system. We shouldnt have people starving and without a place to call home. It's tragic and artistic.. something that electronic music has not been able to convey very often. We need more music like this in the scene!

[sethate]

Truly speaks a feeling of something building that never does. I would say it portrays the dreams and admiration that faded away from many Americans in the last 40 years.

I just bought this track on Google Play. Not because I simply wanted another song in my library, but because I support the message it represents.
