If you’ve been within ten feet of a club or the internet over the past two years you’ll know Grum’s influence. A DJ who regularly commands the Hype Machine top spot and has won an army of champions from the best tastemaker blogs like Discodust to radio 1 DJs Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Pete Tong and Rob Da Bank as well as a host of fans from artists like Aeroplane to Pendulum.
Grum is 24 year old Edinburgh-born DJ and producer Graeme Shepherd, a dance floor alchemist who’s earnt glowing comparisons to Mylo, The Chemical Brothers and Justice. High praise indeed, but praise he’s earnt with a string of tracks that have not so much seen him own the blogosphere as spin it playfully in the palm of his hands.
Now he’s set to take everyone else with massive crossover hit ‘Can’t Shake This Feeling’. Cramming a DJ box-load of influences from Daft Punk to The Human League and Stuart Price into 4 minutes, “Can’t Shake This Feeling” is the pinnacle of his work to date, a real cross-over moment that will introduce the world to its new dance hero. The song encapsulates what he refers to as “an endorphin rush of disco-house, ’80s pop, Italo disco and FM rock” and combines the soaring synths and vocals of the ’80s with the energy and arrangement of 2010.
Backed with mixes from the likes of Aston Shuffle, DCup, Beaumont, Charlie! and Ghosts Of Venice – and one hell of a video that has to be seen to be believed – “Can’t Shake This Feeling” is a major calling card for an artist that set to be the breakthrough dance artist of 2010.
“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
