“Grum’s super-cool D.I.Y. ethic and taste for electronic music old and new means he’s probably our hottest tip since Aeroplane first took off” Ralph Moore, Mixmag

“If Grum is what the future of electronic music sounds like (and we’re pretty sure he is), save us a spot on the dancefloor” Luke Crisell, Nylon

Irn Bru, The Lochness Monster and Haggis, three things which have put Scotland on the global map. Forget all those for now, the only export worth mentioning here is Grum.

His next single – the infectious and driving ‘Sound Reaction’ – is surely going to cause a heavy one – reaction that is! Luckily we didn’t mention Alexander Fleming, the Scottish inventor of penicillin in our intro because we made need his help in administering some medication when things get a little out of hand. “Watch the moving bodies, as they react to the sound” pulsates through a reverberating bass-line as the track peaks into the aural equivalent of a synthesized-rocket ready for lift off. Grum explains in more detail, “Sound Reaction is just me letting go with my music and doing something big, fun, noisy, and designed for the dancefloor. A mixture of rave and electro with a hint of disco. I’m very into 80s new wave and italo and came across this sample…it all just grew from there really”.

Look out for Grum’s appearances at Fabric and Bestival as well as his forthcoming tours of Australia and Brazil.
