The long-awaited electropop album from Grey Granite and J. Brookinz NOW on iTunes!:

For over the past year, Grey Granite has been working closely with his partner in crime J. Brookinz to craft an album that pushed the creative boundaries of both artists. Lust Poisons Pride, an exploration of emotions and personal motives, was created featuring a sound that blends the duo’s familiar hip-hop tendencies with electro-pop, indie rock, and industrial. Think Prince meets Trent Reznor.

Now Grey and Brookz are ready to load their new sonic weapon in the Heavy Gun machine, click Off Safety, and unleash it upon the masses. On February 22, 2010, Lust Poisons Pride debuted on iTunes and other music retailers!

Brookinz began reworking the anthem into the adrenaline packed trailer and emerged from the lab several hours with a work of perfection.  If you haven’t watched the original trailer yet, don’t bother.  The energy from Off Safety will take your first look at one of the upcoming summer’s biggest blockbusters to the next level!

Heavy Gun’s sister label iQ Entertainment is NOW promoing the re-release of the Broke(n) EP exclusively on Juno Download:

As Indianapolis’s drum-n-bass scene was experiencing a surge in international exposure, iQ Entertainment put together a collection of tunes from the best producers in the city.  The culmination of that project was a 5 track ep with monster tunes from anthem killer K-Step, Amen surgeon Sum aka Sumone, and the up and coming liquid funk champion Dave Owen.  Due to problems with distribution, the release received little publicity.  Flash forward two years:  Sum and Dave Owen are two of the most highly sought-after producers in dance music.  Sum has released multiple EPs on Planet Mu, while Dave Owen continues to get heavy rotation on the BBC from Fabio and Grooverider.  With new mixes from Dave Owen and an additional tune from Infuze, the Broke(n) EP is about to get the release it always deserved!

Grey Granite and Andy D’s

Badass Perversion Tour!

The Tour:
What Happens when you put two of the best in the Midwest on 1 stage?  A complete riot will erupt in the crowd, and you will truly understand the power of Grey Granite and Andy D otherwise known as the Badass Perversion Tour!  For the past several months, Andy D and Grey Granite and have been taking Indianapolis, Bloomington, and the rest of the area by storm with monster sold out performances in clubs like Spin, the Casba, and Talbott Street and a media blitz across newspapers, blogs and internet radio.

Who is Grey Granite?:
Grey Granite is only the most badass music export from Indianapolis since Margot and the Nuclear So & Sos.  Having been a traditional hip-hop emcee for the past several years, Grey Granite made a huge stylistic shift in 2007 to incorporate elements of dance-rock and electro into his tracks.  The first hint at this change came with the masterpiece that was his well received mixtape Grey Granite Amplifies the Killers and has since followed up his singles “Lay U Down”, “Off Safety”, “The Bar”, and “The Road”.

Who is Andy D?:
About a year ago Andy D burst on to the Indiana music scene with a huge impact after years of dominating the Brooklyn, NY scene.  Mr. D is known for captivating live performances and infectious music.  Once you see Andy D perform his hit single “God Loves Drunk Chicks”, you will understand why he won’t be a name or performance that you will forget anytime soon. Andy combines hilariously insightful lyrics about everyday life and electro beats that will make your ass shake like it has a permanent giggle.  For those that don’t know, Andy D is officially the man!

Your role in the Revolution:
Currently Andy and Grey are looking for promoters from around North America to host a night of Heavy Gun sponsored music badassery!  If you have a place to rock, Grey Granite and Andy D will come burn the house down.  Whether it’s massive clubs or classic dive bars, these two are ready to entertain no matter what!  So are you ready to party with the Double G and the D?

Indianapolis hometown hero turned Balto-Wash resident Sumone just shot me his newest Ableton Live set for me to post. It’s kinda in the vein of Squincy Jones’s Nintendub in that it mixes 8 bit samples with dubstep, but this is a completely different creature. Sum doesn’t just mix tracks. He cuts up every part of a tune into a sample pack and recreates and remixes the tune on the fly, so there isn’t a track list. This is just pure midi controller mashing fun from the Dub Alchemist.

Jeff busted me a tracklist for the mix. Check it below the cut.
