GR1FN is an emerging and mysterious American-born electronic music producer, who was extremely busy last year, releasing a batch of attention grabbing singles, including two I wrote about on this site:
- “Underneath the Sun,” a Larry Levan-meets-French touch-like banger featuring dense layers of twinkling keys, skittering tweeter and woofer rattling beats and oscillating synths pared with euphoria-inducing hooks and a chopped up, soulful, mantra-like vocal sample. It’s the sort of summery anthem that you’d fully expect to hear rocking clubs from New York to Miami and from Ibiza to London and everywhere else in between.
- “Nervous,” a flirty and summery house music track featuring glistening synth arpeggios, skittering, tweeter and woofer railing beats, a sultry and yearning vocal sample paired with some remarkably catchy hooks. It shouldn’t be surprising that this one has been receiving love in local clubs, because it’s an infectiously fun banger.
Released at the first session of this year’s Coachella, GR1FN’s latest single “Retro Future” is a swaggering tech house banger, featuring a soulful, old school house vocal sample, glistening synth arpeggios and the rising producer’s unerring knack for euphoria-inducing hooks. It’s a summery. dance floor filler, just as the weather starts to get a bit warmer.
