Michigan based GriZ continues his powerhouse series Bangers via Deadbeats. Unveiling another three track EP, this one hits much heavier than the first installment while staying true to the funk sound we all have come to know GriZ for. Proving his dexterity and complexity, it also includes fan favorite and perhaps most anticipated ‘Griztronics,’ aptly named for a collaboration with Subtronics.
First being premiered at Electric Forest, ‘Griztronics’ hits a little differently, containing a trap and bass convolution. Exceeding 150k plays on SoundCloud, this may be the anthem for the remaining festival season. ‘Freak The Method’ falls back to the future funk sound we are familiar with hearing. An infusion of bass and soul that provides a fervent hook created by GriZ himself. Supported by a groovy bass line and a live like drum complexity, this track causes a natural sway for listeners. The synths only add to the layers and enhance to intermittent verses that are tossed in throughout the drops. ‘Push The Vibe’ takes the to the next level with a much quicker paced track and displays an amusing vocal pattern. The percussive elements of the final track present high levels of energy and ends with a dose of trap on the final drop.
An unexpected release through Deadbeats has me itching for more of this heavier based sound of GriZ and increases the levels of interest for future installments of this series.
