Michael Grab

Mike Grab is a.. "Vinyl Collector, DJ (Dubstep, Hip Hop, various electronic), Visual Artist, Rock Stacker, Researcher, Brother, Friend, Canadian, Jedi Shaman, Moon Watcher, and all around badass."

I've watched Mike grow as a DJ and artist immensely in the few years I've known him. Mike is the homie, kills records like its his job, takes ill photos and makes some really freaking cool rock stacks in various rivers and streams.

Mike will be posting regularly on a New Sound, with original material, various art projects and commentary on aliens and reptile people. Mike prefers tasteful and sometimes minimal dub as opposed to unnecessary wobbles and loud, harsh noises. In his free time Mike likes to drink crown and play with mika.





Mike has some dope mixes sitting around, some of which were in consideration for this post, but in the endless quest for perfection he has been in the lab for the last week mad scientist-style putting together a new set. There are a few Grab staples in there along with some new records. I just gave it a listen and it is pretty sick. Dope transitions, varied sub-genres of dub and solid song selection make it a keeper. For me, highlights are the buildup and mid-song drop of the Kromestar track, the mixing into the White Lies track (one of my all-time favorite dubstep tracks), and the last song, a seldom-played BoC record mixed uniquely with a much heavier Excision track.
