More live than most electronic bands, and more electronic than most live bands, Grey Tapes is a beat-maker and producer collective based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The group consists of Mr Blazey (@mrblazey), Bert Verso (@versoproductions), Calum Howard (@calumhoward), and _Bain_ (@bainbc), with Dan Potter on live drums. 
 
Grey Tapes endeavour to keep live electronic music truly live - avoiding clicks, sequencers or backing tracks in favour of live sample triggering and instrumentation. Everything you hear is played manually by a finger, an arm or leg. 
 
Each member of Grey Tapes is a producer in their own right, giving the band a wealth of music to perform. Their instrumentation includes double bass, live drums, homemade midi controllers, synthesisers, piano, samplers, vocals, drum machines and omnichord. Grey Tapes' music traces the lines between hip hop, trip hop, jazz, electronica, ambient and lofi dream pop.

Grüves is a duo of two young songwriters who have been close friends since the 1st grade. Their emotive and atmospheric musical style derives from a fusion of the member's eclectic influences. They have been writing together for 10 years, so much of the material comes from the magic of improvised jams, as well as experiments with instrumentation, song structure, and digital production, which gives each song it's own distinct flavour. When they write music together, there is no leader - it's real democracy. The two collaborate equally in all aspects of the song and it’s production. Grüves bond over their sense of humour and shared passion for exploring and expressing their thoughts and emotions through creation. They are firm believers that, while music is a form of entertainment, it can also be a form of emotionally cure, in their case, to overcome grief and adversity. Caelin, one of the founding members of Grüves, battled strong feelings of derealization and depression for many years. In December of 2014, he took his own life at the young age of 18. The band's first album, "Nocturne" is a concept album based on his struggle, his passing, and the grief that ensued.
Nocturne is currently being played on radio across the United States. Grüves is a passionate and eccentric Canadian duo that is dedicated to bringing their music to the rest of the world.
