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.
