Active listener of Drum & Bass since 2008.

Slammin got his drum and bass addiction in the early 2000s when the rave scene in Estonia was at its peak. It was about that time he fell in love with the genre almost instantly. After visiting a lot of different drum & bass events through the years the love for the music grew exponentially, to an extent that mixing as a DJ wasn't an option anymore - it was an obligation. Getting his first turntables at the age of 16 was the starting point of his career. Since that he has played in several events across Tallinn and other cities across the Baltics, and even won the national radio's 'DNB Newcomer Of The Year' award in 2008. He also hosts one of the only innovative experimental drum and bass events in Tallinn called 'Minimal' plus he is a resident at dnb nights 'Sublime' and 'Double Struggle'. Influenced by the likes of Instra:mental, Bad Company, D-Bridge, Loxy, Goldie, Noisia, Ed Rush & Optical his selection can be quite dark and minimal but at the same time quite smoothing and relaxing - at times old classics tend to get lost in them. Starting early 2014 he teamed up with another Estonian DJ and producer named Planeet and that gave birth to a little music project called HeadRead which is their outlet for different kinds of drum and bass. You can always hear something new in his sets, 'cause he is constantly evolving and only time will tell what will come out next...

Melancholia shit with good vibes. Cutting with deep reality getting you to the ground. It's just a state of mind. Spread love! Pay attention! Something big is about to happen!!!

Causing mischief in every form possible, Grimmlin searches high and low for sounds forgotten and unheard. Weaving his way through crunchy snares, soul-sucking subs, and all the dark mutations present in dnb, it makes for a deep and intense journey that is as alien as it is familiar. 

Catch him tilting windmills and ripping beats from the underground every other Wednesday on Bassfreq Radio, and throughout southern California in various venues and formats.
