</span></b><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">is the follow up to Glass Theory’s tastemaker-lauded debut project
<b><i>Hang <span style="color:black">Up (2012)</span></i></b><span style="color:black">. This time Duff took on the role as producer for the new EP and teamed up with
<b>Alex Aldi</b> (<b>Holy Ghost</b>, <b>Passion Pit</b>) to mix the EP’s title track “<b>Hard To Breathe</b>,” plus worked with
<b>Brian</b> “<b>Big Bass</b>” <b>Gardner </b>(<b>Crystal Castles</b>, <b>Depeche Mode</b>,
<b>New Order</b>) to master it. Duff’s fascination </span>with the underground L.A. club scene is evident throughout
<i><span style="color:black">Hard To Breathe</span></i>, which contains tantalizing pop hooks and
<span style="color:black">addicting</span><span style="color:#1F497D">, </span><span style="color:black">yet grimy, nu-disco
</span>beats that seamlessly flow from track <span style="color:black">to track</span><span style="color:#1F497D"> - p</span><span style="color:black">erfect for any late night dance party!
</span><b><i>Vibe.com</i></b><i> </i><span style="color:black">described Duff’s sound as, “Bouncy synth-infused melodies of Swedish pop music with the highly defined beats of '80s-inspired techno, both forces being pulled together through Duff's high-range
vocals.” </span><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="Normal2"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">The music is only one aspect of Glass Theory. Duff’s striking personal style and unmistakable panache is used to augment his music. Both his sound and style have been highly praised
by <b><i>Glamour, Interview Magazine, Nylon</i></b> and more! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
