GRiZ has been reppin this Colorado-based style of electronic well recently. I talked earlier about Pretty Lights' new track, ' Around the Block ,' and it's continuing the movement PL helped start, but GRiZ seems to be the man pushing it forward. With a much heavier style of bass, 'Gettin Live' is taking hip-hop samples and mixing that full sound electro in fresher than I've heard in sometime. GRiZ Genre: Superfly, Funky, Bouncy, Bass Music Name: Grant Kwiecinsk Hometown: East Lansing, Michigan Label: Daly City Records [...]

The 21 year old producer hailing from Detroit Michigan comes "off the line" with this track titled Gettin' Live . Correct me if I'm wrong, but life's about being happy and having some fun while you're doing it? Gettin' Live is one of those songs that insures a better quality of life, and adds some fun as a hypothetical cherry on top. When I first heard of GRiZ he must've been 18 years old, and the quality of his music has only skyrocketed since then. Along with Gettin' Live , [...]

This week, I've got some bangin new Kesha, Bieber's long anticipated dubstep debut, and some insaaane unreleased Jonas Brothers jams that are sure to be staples in this year's festival season.

I've become a pretty big fan of Firepower Records, and the sound they've been pushing on the bass [...]

Detroit producer GRiZ has been gaining quite the amount of buzz in recent months with his live blend of instrumentation and glitch hop. His latest offering, 'Gettin' Live', samples the legendary Tupac as well as the soundtrack from Quentin Tarantino's Django .

Detroit bass music producer Griz has been steadily establishing his niche over the past year as a blend of live instrumentation and dubstep/glitch hop. While his Mad Liberation album was an impressive release, Griz's recent productions have been on a whole new level. "Gettin' Live" is his latest output, and it's potentially his best work to date. Sampling legendary rapper Tupac as well as the soundtrack from Tarantino's latest blockbuster, Django Unchained , Griz crafts a bluesy, cinematic dubstep track worthy of some serious praise. From the live sax to distorted, snaking bass drops, "Gettin' Live" [...]

Future-Funk Wunderkind GRiZ just released the first track from his upcoming record " Gettin' Live ." The song is a fresh take on the mashup " Unchained (The Payback / Untouchable) " by 2Pac and James Brown featured in the Soundtrack for Django Unchained . In typical GRiZ fashion, he splices the Western tribute with his glitchy blend of Future-Funk and Electro-Soul; the seven and a half minute track does not disappoint. 21-year-old, Detroit native, Grant Kwiecinski made a strong name for himself last year; with numerous remixes, countless performances, the release of his [...]
Good god GRiZ is just getting silly with us now. Having been a few months since the release of solo work from the up-and-coming future funk producer, he has now graced us with an absolute stunner of a single. "Gettin' Live" is an expected song off of his sophomore record expected to drop in early to mid summer of 2013. But, really. Watching this kid evolve and grow as a producer has been one of the best activities in the past year. Grants' incorporation of funk with grimy bass is truly one of a kind, there is no doubt [...]

For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past year, GRiZ is the new standard for live instrumental performances mixed with dubstep. Between himself, Gramatik, and Big Gigantic, they run the live instrumental performance scene. Here's a new track off of his upcoming second album. His first EP, Mad Liberation (Download) , introduced me to combinations of sounds that I personally had never heard before. GRiZ picked up right where he left off with "Gettin' Live", harmoniously blending the live music sounds of his saxophone and Wuzzy's guitar with beautiful synths and drops. Grab [...]
