We are extra excited for the Grizmatik with Special Guests set, because last year Griz and Gramatik had their first set togeher as Grizmatik at the secret Thissongissick Forest at at EF.

Check out our thoughts on Electric Forest and how we think it’s one of the best festivals in the country.

Grizmatik – My People (Preview) : Must Hear Electro Soul / Future Funk

Whoaa… When GRiZ and Gramatik team up for their side project Grizmatik, incredible things happen. Today we get the preview of their latest massive single “My People”. We got the first taste with their Digital Liberation Is Mad Freedom complete with music video, and this track might top it. They fuse funk, soul, and gritty bass unlike any artists I have heard. These two teaming up is an insane combination. you can hear both artists shine through heavily. Even though this is just a sample, you can tell it’s gonna be quite the anthem. Can’t wait for the release.

Also don’t miss their main stage performance at this year’s SnowBall Music Festival in Winter Park this weekend March 8th – 10th. Enjoy.

SnowBall Music Festival 2013 Complete Massive Lineup

It already been announced that the massive 3 day long Colorado snow music festival SnowBall had relocated from the Vail area to Winter Park for 2013. The festival has always had one of the freshest most diverse lineups not just in Colorado but on the West coast. They have consistently had a great blend of the hottest new electronic, live band, and hip-hop acts all at the same festival to enjoy while freezing your ass off. Well now for the big switch of locations, this lineup completely makes up for the move. The headliners include past attendee Colorado electronic icon Pretty Lights who knows how to shut a festival down. STS9 makes their highly anticipated debut Snow festival appearance which is sure to be one to remember. Rowdytown headliner, fellow Colorado Native Big Gigantic are set to unleash their new stage setup. The man bringing real hip-hop back to American mainstream… Kendrick Lamar. One of our favorite rising Electro stars Porter Robinson is set to have a epic headlining performance. Datsik will probably drop bass louder then you have ever heard.. literally. Flying Lotus is one of the most intelligent producers and will take you too another world with his future sounding productions. The collaboration project between GRiZ and Gramatik aka Grizmatik will be performing their first official festival performance with live production. And those are only the headliners playing the festival, look above / below at the rest of the jaw dropping lineup. These are more then enough reason to rage in the freezing snow for 3 days for an unforgettable weekend filled with snow and music. Hope to see everyone out in the snow this year!

Grizmatik – Digital Liberation is Mad Freedom (#DLIMF) (Music Video) : New Collaboration from GRiZ + Gramatik [TSIS PREMIERE]

I am proud to present to you the debut single from the new collaboration side projecet Grizmatik, comprised of Gramatik and GRiZ. These are both two of the most soulful, funky, electronic muscians I know, so having them both work together is a dream come true. We had the honor of debuting their live project at the Thissongissick Secret Set at Electric Forest Festival in Rothbury, Michigan this past summer, alongside Dominic Lolli of Big Gigantic. Then they had their second show at a North Coast Festival after party at House of Blues in Chicago, which was sold-out mayhem.

“Digital Liberation is Mad Freedom” or “#DLIMF” for short is their debut single taking pieces from both of their recent album, GRiZ’s – Mad Liberation, and Gramatik’s #Digtal Freedom. This song packs such an amazing funky punch unlike one I’ve ever heard right from the start, then moves into a drop that hits you and won’t let up. This video captures all of their live shows to date, including a ton of their sold-0ut show at the House of Blues in Chicago. Sit back, enjoy the  start of Grizmatik! Download coming soon, don’t worry guys!
