Slam
Sounds aka Arturas Grybe is
a multi-talented Lithuanian born Producer/Dj. He originated from a town called Marijampole in
the south of Lithuania.
Small town life encouraged creativity.
At the age of 15 he 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 and
started performing at various events. 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 Lithuanian Hip Hop
compilation series 'Ultimatiumas'.
Ganja Cru continued until Slam Sounds decided to move over to London, UK.
Living in London organically opened his mind to 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 full 5
track EP named 'Invisible Forces'.
Today, Slam Sounds music has many
diverse influences ranging from heavy yet melodic Post-Dubstep vibes, experimental electronic J-Dilla inspired Hip Hop grooves, twists of 2-step Garage, sweet Dub melodies, Trap energy, Deep House sounds, Detroit Techno percussion, 80s
Soul synth and
everything from organic off-beat patterns
to electric analogue bleeps, clicks and lasers... Currently, Slam Sounds is working on his latest EP 'HEAT WAVE' which is coming out at the end of April 2014. Keep an ear out for it!
