Fresh remix from Benji Boko who appears to have finally got Mr Slim to listen to this and give the OK to release it. Summery, laid back, hip hop funk vibes are going to make this a big tune for many a DJ this year and you can get this free, along with every other remix Benji did last year, including some exclusive edits, instrumentals and originals, by signing up to his mailing list HERE. Links go out on the 28th May.
Gramatiks music is a sublime mix of funk, hip hop, glitch and breaks. With over 80,000 tracks sold on Beatport in the past 2 years, topping all kinds of genre charts, Gramatik has matured from a curious kid attracted by soundscapes, to a world-class producer. Gramatik's music quickly gained steam after he first began posting it online in 2008 and earned him nominations for ‘’Best Chill Out Artist’’ and ‘’Best Chill Out Track’’ at the 2010 Beatport Music Awards, taking 2nd place in both categories. After posting a recent remix of Led Zeppelin's "Stariway to Heaven" he shot to number 1 on the HypeMachine chart without so much as even a post on his Facebook.
Gramatik is now known in electronic and hip-hop circles around the globe, touring with the likes of Pretty Lights, The Glitch Mob, Mimosa, Two Fresh and many others. This summer we'll see him performing at festivals across the US and alongside label head Pretty Lights at his annual (and sold-out!) Red Rocks show.
First up this week I have to point you in the direction of the Ghetto Funk blog and in particularly Spinforths Anniversary Super Scour. He has really pulled together an amazing line up of funkateers to provide him with a stack of exclusive tracks for the blog. Some of the leading artists in the scene have contributed along with people that you may have seen in the round up each week for their free tracks and bootlegs. Below is a little selection of what to expect.
