<p class="Normal2"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">After the 2012 summer release of
<i>Hang Up</i>, which <b><i>Kick Kick Snares</i></b> perfectly summed up as a, “…sensual bit of musical love making between, bright euro-dance, nu-disco and dirty house,”<i>
</i> Glass Theory’s music entered the remix scene with DJs <b>At Dawn We Rage</b> and Amsterdam trio
<b>Nobody Beats The Drum</b>. Both DJs latched onto Duff’s first single “<b>Out Of Time</b>,” bestowing their own spin on the track with broken beats, harsher drums and bass additions that caught the attention of
<span class="normalchar"><b><i>Nicky Digital</i></b></span>, <span class="normalchar">
<b><i>Dubstep.net</i></b></span>, and more. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Normal2"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">Duff then created his own remix flavor to
<b>Warner Bros Records</b>’ <b>Blondfire</b>’s breakout track “Where The Kids Are” and kissed the tune with a French House beat</span><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D">.
</span><span class="normalchar"><b><i><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">Your Music Radar</span></i></b></span><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black"> called it, “Top notch.” Jack then released a remix for Phoenix-based
duo <b>Bogan Via</b>’s folk track “Manny,” which sparked the interest of <span class="normalchar">
<b><i>Virgin Mobile Radio</i></b></span> host <b>Abbey Braden</b> who said it was an, “Absolute gem! We immediately started drooling over it.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Normal2"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">While the remixes were buzzing, Duff was busy in the studio creating
<span class="normalchar"><i>Hard To Breath</i></span> in late 2012. Duff took on the role of producer for the project, 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 Breath</b>,” and
<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. Shiny pop hooks, glitter-flexed yet grimy production, and mood transforming tracks lace up the new five-song EP into a provocative nu-disco utopia with<span class="normalchar">
</span>titillating lyrics. <span class="normalchar"> </span></span><span class="normalchar"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Normal2"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">“Though a lot of my lyrics are about sex, that
<span class="normalchar">overall</span> feeling of sensuality in music is what I’m aiming for,” says Duff. “I like to write
<span class="normalchar">lyrics</span> that can be ambiguous, or <span class="normalchar">
sometimes are simply </span>phonetically <span class="normalchar">effective in creating the mood</span>.”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
