Two original tracks and a remix, the three tunes on “Evolution” push the boundaries of emerging genres – “Bass Music” and “Future Garage.” Really, the music on this EP defies reductive categorization – its sound echoes the recent and not-so-distant past (Dubstep, Garage, [...]

Who brings an analog TR 808 across the Atlantic to drop the boom on bass-hungry Houstonians? One helluva headliner… Thanks to Gritsy fam, Addison Groove (aka Headhunter – Bristol, UK) made history this past Saturday at Mainstage.

This past Saturday, WGF rolled up to Gritsy at Mainstage early, at doors. Good thing too, because Knome was already throwing down heavy beats for the gathering crowd. People had already taken up positions at the bar, around the bar, and every booth, so it was standing room only from the get go. And like magic, like the handkerchiefs that [...]
