Description:
As GrimyStyles refines their self-proclaimed "melting pot" sound, they use the dub roots reggae genre as a platform to develop what has become their signature sound. "We call it global dub music because it's exactly that," explains Moeller. "Whether it's Middle Eastern or American Soul or Jamaican Reggae, Afro pop, Afro beat – it all comes together." Furthermore GrimyStyles applies a progressive approach to their live performances using cutting edge mixing techniques and unique onstage signal processing, rewarding both the careful listener and recreational dancer with imaginative soundscapes. "You feel the music in your heart and your head or your hips and your legs," clarifies Beebe. "With no vocals in dub music, it's open to your own interpretation."
Their new album, "Rewind" captures a bold, panoramic vision of dub now synonymous with GrimyStyles and has been hailed as 'both fresh and timeless' (INsite Magazine, 2007). Seeking to create an album that carried the spontaneity of its dub predecessors yet remain deeply rooted in structure, Grimy eschews the dub tradition of one-take processing on a rhythm track for slightly less conventional studio techniques. Slamming an old spring reverb on the floor, plucking the strings of a shabby upright piano, or running takes backwards through the tape machine was all part of a normal day's work for the band during the Rewind sessions.
Having recently shared the stage with the likes of dub legend Mad Professor and Lee Scratch Perry, an internationally acclaimed innovator of the dub movement, GrimyStyles has rapidly risen to the forefront of the Austin music scene with a growing, loyal fan-base. Grimy hopes to expand their following beyond Austin with their upcoming tour.
