Grum’s album “Heartbeats” is out today. It “charms with such ease that it’s hard to accept it’s a debut.” According to the BBC.

Can’t Shake This Feeling is out now on Beatport and on iTunes on the 10th of May. Remixes come from Grum (new disco brilliance), Aston Shuffle (jacking house), D Cup (Todd Edwards inspired house), Beaumont (Australian synth-driven disco), Charlie! (New York 2 step) and Ghosts of Venice (heavy disco loops). Dive in.

Can't Shake This Feeling by Heartbeatsheartbeats

Quite simply some of the most stupid music television you are likely to see, but rather than bang on about that, here’s a quote from one of the directors, Ryan McNeill…

“Making this video was probably far more fun for those of us behind the camera than for everyone on camera. We provided spit buckets for our actresses so they wouldn’t have to swallow all the food. Even with that precautionary measure, I definitely saw gag reflexes kicking in during the scenes with baked beans. The actor playing the father was a great sport about shooting scenes on some frightening streets in downtown Los Angeles. I was just relieved that actors even showed up after receiving the call that they had been cast in a music video about the lurid, pornographic underbelly of competitive eating.”

As Luther & Janet told us in – ahem – Mo’ Money, “the best things in life are free”. Whilst I agree with the concept, I’m not up for adding music to the list. However, since Grum’s latest remixes has started surfacing on the net, I thought it was time for another round up. And this time I’d added some links to where you can find them (for free).

Both come with Aeroplane’s seal of approval – well as long as my spy at their Stealth gig on Friday wasn’t too high on euphoric disco to correctly identify them… Surely if there was a musical equivalent of “10 Years Younger”, Grum would be the presenter of choice given the surgical enhancement these two records have had.

The latest GRUM single Heartbeats is released on the 26th of October.

Because nobody seems to want CD’s anymore, we thought…um…we’d produce some limited edition CD’s….

“Oh brilliant,” I hear you sigh.

“What next…GRUM cassettes?”

OK OK, we know. But sometimes old things are nice right?

Actually, thinking about it, most old things smell of piss, but that’s NOT THE POINT.

Let’s just pretend that sometimes they are NICE. They are. Really.

Anyway, I digress.

Leaving the boring technology debate to Lily Allen for just a minute, we have decided to release a limited edition pack of his first three singles on CD.

GRUM has hand numbered and signed them and we’ve got 25 free sets to give away.

So, if you fancy a new set of coasters then please enter your details here…and a computer (well someone dressed as a computer in our office) will pick 25 of you at random and send you a set.

In the meantime, here is a rather super remix of “Runaway” by Ultracity for you to dance about to in a dreamy way in your catsuit while waving at your neighbours in the house opposite.

“This is the greatest song of the 21st Century” Popjustice

“He may reside in Leeds but Grum certainly ain’t grim – he’s super, super!” Super Super

Following on from the massive “Sound Reaction” and “Runaway” – the slow burner that won’t leave most discerning DJs boxes, Grum is back with the shining, summery smash “Heartbeats”.

Already playlisted by the likes of Rex The Dog, Jagz Kooner and Pendulum this is the kind of feel-good anthem that pop fans have been waiting for from the much-hyped Scotsman.

Grum’s two favourite records of all time are Daft Punk’s “Discovery” and “Dare” by the Human League and the spirit of these classics is coursing through the veins of “Heartbeats”. Joyous, fun-filled and perfectly crafted for maximum impact on the dancefloor, this is the sound of the blogs heading straight for the pop charts.

With his Tommy Sparks remix getting Pete Tong all hot under the collar and his Freeland mix getting heavy rotation from Aeroplane Grum is currently the remixer-du-jour for a wide range of taste-makers. Add to that killer the remixes that are coming for Passion Pit, Magistrates and Jump Jump Dance and – like Eddy Temple-Morris – DJs will have 3 of his productions in their sets before they know it.
