Following the Jamaican "dub" tradition of remixing reggae tracks into effects-laden instrumentals, Grimy Styles set out to employ this notion to all their beloved genres of music. Applying the mixing techniques of "dub godfathers" such as King Tubby and Lee 'Scratch' Perry to an array of influences spanning classical, roots, jazz, and metal; the austin-based band has created a genre of its own.
Aside from the Grimy project, members of the group also collaborate with Kingston, Jamaica’s Stephen
"Gibbo" Gibbs, building riddims for artists like Capleton, Luciano, I-Wayne, and Ranaco.

Hey Guys! I'm tryin to tell as many people about the Grimy show here in San Antone on 7/10...at least my buddies and I'll be there! We want you guys to play for like 3 hrs...will ya'll? ;)
I finally finished up a project I have been working on closely with my homie DJ Trippin' over the past few months. The idea was to take a handful of my freestyles, studio tracks, and b-sides I've recorded over the last year and combine them all to a 1 track mix. All mixing, scratching, and juggling was performed by DJ Trippin'. The effort is available for high quality download by clicking the cover below!
