Choose Grum

Grum’s album “Heartbeats” is out today. It “charms with such ease that it’s hard to accept it’s a debut.” According to the BBC.

Order it at iTunes, amazon.co.uk, hmv.com & play.com


Zane Lowe – “God, disco is big, isn’t it? It’s finally got there… Sounds so good this… Grum “Can’t Shake This Feeling,” D.I.S.C.O. in full effect this year.”

Can’t Shake This Feeling is out now on Beatport and on iTunes on the 10th of May. Remixes come from Grum (new disco brilliance), Aston Shuffle (jacking house), D Cup (Todd Edwards inspired house), Beaumont (Australian synth-driven disco), Charlie! (New York 2 step) and Ghosts of Venice (heavy disco loops). Dive in.

Can't Shake This Feeling by Heartbeatsheartbeats


The video for Grum’s new single (out May 3rd) was directed by The General Assembly and produced by Townhall.

Quite simply some of the most stupid music television you are likely to see, but rather than bang on about that, here’s a quote from one of the directors, Ryan McNeill…

“Making this video was probably far more fun for those of us behind the camera than for everyone on camera. We provided spit buckets for our actresses so they wouldn’t have to swallow all the food. Even with that precautionary measure, I definitely saw gag reflexes kicking in during the scenes with baked beans. The actor playing the father was a great sport about shooting scenes on some frightening streets in downtown Los Angeles. I was just relieved that actors even showed up after receiving the call that they had been cast in a music video about the lurid, pornographic underbelly of competitive eating.”

The Best Things In Life Are Free

Mo' Mixes

As Luther & Janet told us in – ahem – Mo’ Money, “the best things in life are free”. Whilst I agree with the concept, I’m not up for adding music to the list. However, since Grum’s latest remixes has started surfacing on the net, I thought it was time for another round up. And this time I’d added some links to where you can find them (for free).

Both come with Aeroplane’s seal of approval – well as long as my spy at their Stealth gig on Friday wasn’t too high on euphoric disco to correctly identify them… Surely if there was a musical equivalent of “10 Years Younger”, Grum would be the presenter of choice given the surgical enhancement these two records have had.

Grum 3 singles (Black)

The latest GRUM single Heartbeats is released on the 26th of October.

Because nobody seems to want CD’s anymore, we thought…um…we’d produce some limited edition CD’s….

“Oh brilliant,” I hear you sigh.

“What next…GRUM cassettes?”

OK OK, we know. But sometimes old things are nice right?

Actually, thinking about it, most old things smell of piss, but that’s NOT THE POINT.

Let’s just pretend that sometimes they are NICE. They are. Really.

Anyway, I digress.

Leaving the boring technology debate to Lily Allen for just a minute, we have decided to release a limited edition pack of his first three singles on CD.

GRUM has hand numbered and signed them and we’ve got 25 free sets to give away.

So, if you fancy a new set of coasters then please enter your details here…and a computer (well someone dressed as a computer in our office) will pick 25 of you at random and send you a set.

In the meantime, here is a rather super remix of “Runaway” by Ultracity for you to dance about to in a dreamy way in your catsuit while waving at your neighbours in the house opposite.

Grum – Heartbeats

September 25th, 2009

HEART003 - Packshot

Pop Justice “This is the greatest song of the 21st Century and if anyone tries to tell you otherwise they are an idiot or they haven’t heard it or they’re an idiot who hasn’t heard it.”

Super Super “He may reside in Leeds but Grum certainly ain’t grim – he’s super, super!”

Big Stereo “Grum is pretty much killing it with his new single, “Heartbeats”… that vocal loop will take you over.”

Discobelle “Grum is going to be big when his album comes out in 2010. ”

Discodust “Discodust favorite grum keeps making big moves, unleashing his new shining summery smash single ‘heartbeats’ while his previous tracks ‘runaway’ and ‘sound reaction’ still haven’t left the bags of dj’s out there.”

Too Many Sebastians “Grum’s Heartbeats, a track so great we’re blogging about it for the third time in under a month. A little excessive you say? You are wrong.”

Trash Menagerie “I heard his massive single “Heartbeats” in its original state a long time ago before all the samples got re-recorded for the release. Now I’m really excited to see the new version get lots of praise and massive play by DJs all over the place.”

Brrrln Blog “This [Weird Tapes] remix for Grum’s lovely Heartbeats takes the track straight to the nerd lab. Perfect soundtrack for discussing Star Trek facts, why Gatorade is so much better than Snapple Vitamin Water or if there’s more Indians or Pakistanis in the German Cricket League. Or whatever else nerds enjoy. Don’t know if I’m going to play this out, but I like it!”

Aeroplane “I really dig the “extended mix” Looking forward to play this out!”

Jagz Kooner “Absolutely brilliant. Every remix i hear by grum just gets better and better. Its good to hear that heartbeats keeps to the same high standards. Joe and Will Ask remix is good too. Weird tapes version is excellent as well :-)

Rex The Dog “Rex and I like this very much, Extended mix or worship mix on first listens! I’ts lovely vocal, all exciting and shameless.”

Paul Pendulum “Love all the mixes. Wish it had more vocals to it. Could be a massive singalong one with some more words.”

Rob Da Bank “Wiked single. Can I get the Extended mix as an mp3 for my show?”

Paul Harris “Love Love Love…”

Midfield General “Very good all round…bit undecided about which is my favourite mix to be honest. Very impressed with Joe & Will Ask Mix.. I am a fan of theirs. butt yes, all round excellent package.”

Grum – Heartbeats (video)

August 25th, 2009

Grum – Heartbeats from Brian McBlade on Vimeo.

“This is the greatest song of the 21st Century” Popjustice

“He may reside in Leeds but Grum certainly ain’t grim – he’s super, super!” Super Super

Following on from the massive “Sound Reaction” and “Runaway” – the slow burner that won’t leave most discerning DJs boxes, Grum is back with the shining, summery smash “Heartbeats”.

Already playlisted by the likes of Rex The Dog, Jagz Kooner and Pendulum this is the kind of feel-good anthem that pop fans have been waiting for from the much-hyped Scotsman.

Grum’s two favourite records of all time are Daft Punk’s “Discovery” and “Dare” by the Human League and the spirit of these classics is coursing through the veins of “Heartbeats”. Joyous, fun-filled and perfectly crafted for maximum impact on the dancefloor, this is the sound of the blogs heading straight for the pop charts.

With his Tommy Sparks remix getting Pete Tong all hot under the collar and his Freeland mix getting heavy rotation from Aeroplane Grum is currently the remixer-du-jour for a wide range of taste-makers. Add to that killer the remixes that are coming for Passion Pit, Magistrates and Jump Jump Dance and – like Eddy Temple-Morris – DJs will have 3 of his productions in their sets before they know it.

Grum – Sound Reaction

May 4th, 2009

HEART002 - Packshot

“Grum’s super-cool D.I.Y. ethic and taste for electronic music old and new means he’s probably our hottest tip since Aeroplane first took off” Ralph Moore, Mixmag

“If Grum is what the future of electronic music sounds like (and we’re pretty sure he is), save us a spot on the dancefloor” Luke Crisell, Nylon

Irn Bru, The Lochness Monster and Haggis, three things which have put Scotland on the global map. Forget all those for now, the only export worth mentioning here is Grum.

His next single – the infectious and driving ‘Sound Reaction’ – is surely going to cause a heavy one – reaction that is! Luckily we didn’t mention Alexander Fleming, the Scottish inventor of penicillin in our intro because we made need his help in administering some medication when things get a little out of hand. “Watch the moving bodies, as they react to the sound” pulsates through a reverberating bass-line as the track peaks into the aural equivalent of a synthesized-rocket ready for lift off. Grum explains in more detail, “Sound Reaction is just me letting go with my music and doing something big, fun, noisy, and designed for the dancefloor. A mixture of rave and electro with a hint of disco. I’m very into 80s new wave and italo and came across this sample…it all just grew from there really”.

Look out for Grum’s appearances at Fabric and Bestival as well as his forthcoming tours of Australia and Brazil.

HEART001 - Packshot

For someone who only produced his first track in the spring of last year, Graeme Shepherd aka Grum’ rise to prominence has been one of Justice-style proportions. Since tracks such as “Heartbeats” first started appearing on blogs like Discodust, Grum’s music has been in such demand that HYPE MACHINE recently calculated he was the second most blogged act in the world, behind Radiohead.

In addition to his own material Grum has already remixed the likes of Friendly Fires, Late Of The Pier, Armand Van Helden and Tronik Youth. Recent support of his Friendly Fires mix from A-listers such as Pete Tong, Rob Da Bank and Kissy Sell Out, should guarantee that this “Ibiza-in-a-good-way dancefloor killer” is destined for greatness.

“Runaway is one of those deceptively brilliant pieces of music that, like Daft Punk’s “Around The World” swirls around in your brain refusing to leave. Blissful, bass-heavy and undeniably cool, this is the perfect antidote to heavy-handed Electro-house.

Already selected by Aeroplane for their Mixmag covermount mix in April, this is the kind of record that will survive listening on repeat all through the summer. And with his debut album due in May, this summer highly likely to belong to him.
