Basti Grub (Suara/GER) Exclusive Melbourne Show FT. Boog$, Tahl and Luke Vecchio

Uncompomising, unique and completely unimpressed by fads and fashion: The fresh and multi-facetted sound of Basti Grub ́s productions resonates innovation based on curiosity and an open-minded approach to music, life, everything-- and beyond. Whether it ́s lengthy, introverted and relaxed piano passages, or the novelty sound of the hang instrument, animal samples from the country side, exotic drums, interesting use of voices and song structures, or just plain fat tech house sound--Grub, who was born in Frankfurt, makes it unpredictable what ́s next, and never limits himself by thinking in conventional terms.
It was his friend Brian Sanhaji who brought the results of Basti ́s experiments into daylight, and supported him by being his mentor. Through him Basti was able to find his own sound: a fluid and thought-through mixture of grooving minimal techno and African vocals, swing, ethnic sounds, and the typical Grub- esque drums, his trademarks-to-be.
