B Dubs Volume 2 out !

Starting out in 1998 as a drum and bass collective, Grimelock has already come a long way in music. In 2004 they discovered Plasticman at Nuit Blanche which inspired them so much they decided to try their hand at playing Grime, Dubstep and dark Garage.

2OO5 saw the release of two mixes which got the thumbs up, but it wasn't until last year that the bookings started to pile in. This happened in part thanks to the growth of the Dubstep scene which finally hit Belgium around this time.They played together with Youngsta, Skream, ThinKing, Scan One, Kode9, Distance, Maximum, Chef, Geeneus, Plastician, Roll Deep, JME and Skepta among others.

A year later two more mixes were brought to the masses (The 27 murderers and Doggy Style), this time featuring some of their own music. Besides production, they also set up a new party concept called Stainage. Having already promoted successful parties with Boups (Le Gazon, Nuit Blanche...), they created a strictly grime and dubstep evening with names like Plastician, D1, Geeneus, Youngsta, Riko Dan, Slimzee, Hatcha and Crazy D, as well as showing support for local dj's and producers. They’ve also worked together with friends and fellow producers Alchemyst and Saviour and Bunzer0.

Grimelock describe their own sound as combining the powerfull bass of dubstep and grime with the U.K. garage and 4x4 sound.

Their material is based on a blending of dark sub-bass influenced music with hefty grime beats. The dark sounds that drew them to drum and bass a decade ago still give their work an edge.Tracks like The City, Brussels Target, Night Ridder, Ghost Town and Little Soldier are complemented by more uptempo tunes like like Pepper Jack, Test Your Mind and Kawal. All of this makes for a varied and compelling set.

2007 promised to be a big year for Grimelock, and it certainly delivered. The release of B Dubs, which is a mix made up exclusively of their own tracks, as well as the addition of MC's Dynamic and Maelan to their crew made for a busy and productive year. Grimelock will be keeping up the pace during the next year too with more projects already on the drawing board, so stay tuned.
