GRIMELOCK

grimelock - brussels grime, dubstep, 4*4 dj, producer and promoter

Starting out in 1998 as a drum and bass collective, Grimelock already has come a long way in music.

In 2004 they discovered Plasticman on Nuit Blanche, and decided to play grime, dubstep and dark garage. The year after, they released 2 mixes, which received a good response.

But it wasn't for last year, when dubstep saw it's growing point in Belgium, that the bookings started to arrive.

They played together with Youngsta, Skream, ThinKing, Scan One, Kode9, Distance, Maximum, Chef, Geeneus, Plastician, Roll Deep, JME, Skepta,...

2006 brought the release of 2 other mixes (The 27 murderers and Doggy Style), now with own production.

Not only were they working on own music, they also started a new party concept called Stainage.

After already promoting successful parties together with Boups (Le Gazon, Nuit Blanche...), they created a strictly grime and dubstep evening with names like Plastician, D1, Geeneus, Youngsta, Riko Dan, Slimzee, Hatcha and Crazy D, but also gave their support to local dj's and producers.

Their personal production, with tracks like The City, Brussels Target, Night Ridder, Ghost Town and Little Soldier, can be described as blending dark sub bass influenced music with grime beats.

Bringing variation with some more uptempo beats in Pepper Jack, Test Your Mind and Kawal.

Grimelock describe their own sound as combining the powerfull bass of dubstep and grimewith the uk garage and 4x4 sound.

The dark sounds that used to attract them in drum and bass are finding a way into their own production.

They also worked together with friends and fellow producers Alchemyst and Saviour and Bunzer0.

2007 promises to be a big year for Grimelock with the release of their strictly own production mix called B Dubs and the addition of 2 new mc's Dynamic and Maelan to their crew.
