Slam
Sounds aka Arturas Grybe is
a multi-talented Lithuanian born Producer/Dj/Sound Tech. He originated from a small town called Marijampole in
the south of Lithuania.
At the age of 15 Slam Sounds started a Hip Hop band Ganja
Cru, where he began his music career as an Mc. Rapidly, the group began to gain recognition on
the Lithuanian Hip Hop scene, which led into performing at various events all over Lithuania. Eventually, the group paved the way for
emerging artists such as leading Lithuanian Hip Hop musicians Shmekla
Vaiper, now known as Despotin
Fam. Under Ganja Cru they have made an abundance of Hip
Hop songs and released singles on most popular Lithuanian Hip Hop
compilation series 'Ultimatiumas'.
Ganja Cru continued until Slam Sounds decided to move over to London, UK.
Living in London organically influenced his mind to explore a much broader world
of music. Apart from gaining a solid degree
in Music Culture and its Production & Theory, this music breathing individual is also DJing at various events in
London, meanwhile producing his own always forward thinking independent material. Slam Sounds has received musical commissions from well
established companies such as clothing retailer ASOS, tea makers Twinings, Wonderland magazine etc. alongside his release on well known Lithuanian future-music focused compilation Renegades
of Bump 'Ritmo Kovos III' (Beat Battle III) and the dropping of two 5
track EPs named 'Invisible Forces' (2013) and 'Heat Wave' (2014).
Today, Slam Sounds music has many
diverse influences ranging from heavy yet melodic J-Dilla inspired Hip Hop grooves, twists of 2-step Garage, Dub vibes, Trap energy, Deep House sounds, Detroit Techno percussion, 80s
Soul synth and
everything from field recording and its organic off-beat patterns
to dreamy analog syths driven soundscapes, drumachine bleeps, clicks and lasers...
