"GRIIMM" is the bass music project of producer, DJ, and touring guitar player Thomas Vittas. From his home of Toronto, CA, GRIIMM cultivates a digitally corrosive blend of energy and emotion carved out by a heavyweight sound. Having recorded and toured internationally with JUNO nominated Alternative act ThxSoMch, Vittas seeks to incorporate elements of electronic and analog with GRIIMM. His records often combine sparkling synth work with heavy sub-basses and melodic euphoria.

Additionally, GRIIMMs live sets have earned him a reputation in Toronto as a high energy DJ with eclectic range, supporting acts such as Deathpact and Blanke. His edits of classic Rock & Grunge records are consistent crowd favorites, earning attention both at shows, as well as SoundCloud and TikTok. "The path to paradise starts in hell." GRIIMM is set to find his way there and bring his audience with him.

LUCIDxTEETH 2018 - 2023
"So then, in the metaphysical sphere, the mystic is the one who feels that everything that happens is in some way harmonious, is in some way right, is in some way an integral part of the universe. Now, when we transplant or translate that into the moral sphere, the sphere of human conduct, the equivalent is this: There are no wrong feelings. You see, the idea that there are no wrong feelings is an immensely threatening idea to people who are afraid to feel in any case, and this is one of the peculiar problems of our culture. 

That we are terrified of our feelings, because they take off on their own, and we think that if we give them any scope, they will lead us into all kinds of chaotic and destructive action. It’s so funny that we, in our western culture say that kind of thing, we who do more chaotic and destructive kind of action than anybody ever did. But if, for a change, we would allow our feelings, and look upon their comings and goings as something as beautiful and as natural and necessary as changes in the weather, the going of night and day, and of the four seasons. We would be at peace with ourselves, because what is problematic for western man is not so much his struggles with other people and their need and their problems, as his struggle with his own feelings, with what he will allow himself to feel, and what he won’t allow himself to feel. 

He is ashamed to feel really profoundly sad, so much so that he could cry. He is ashamed to loathe somebody, because you’re not supposed to hate people. He is ashamed to be so overcome with the beauty of something, whether it be a natural landscape or a member of the opposite sex, that he goes out of his mind with this beauty. Because all that kind of thing is, ’Not being in control, old boy!’ Not, kind of, having your hand on the wheel. But it is because, you see, we don’t go with that, that we’re not in control. That we try to pretend that our inner-life is different. So I think this is the most releasing thing that anybody can possibly understand, that your inner feeling is never wrong. That is to say, what you feel, it’s never wrong that you feel that way.”

LUCIDxTEETH 2018 - 2024
“It may not be a right guide to what you should do. In other words, if you feel that you hate someone intensely, it isn’t necessarily the right way of dealing with that feeling to go out and cut his throat. But it is right that you should have the feeling of hating, or of being sad, or frightened, terrified—whatever it is. For, you see, when a person comes to himself, he comes to be one with his own feeling. And that is the only way of being in a position to control it.

It is in exactly this way that the sailor always keeps the wind in his sails. Whether he wants to sail with the wind or whether he wants to sail against the wind, he always uses the wind. He never denies the wind. Well, it’s in exactly that same sense that a person has to keep going with his own feeling. Whether he wants to act as the feeling obviously suggests or act in a different way, he has to keep the feeling with him because that’s his own essential self. 

But when he attempts simply to sail against the wind, he’s lost himself. He’s become just a kind of empty mask which hasn’t got any real life behind it. And all its protestations of love and good will are hollow. So, to sum up: what the mystic primarily feels is the divinity, the glory, of whatever is. 

And when we apply that to the moral sphere, what is is what one feels genuinely. And this must always be admitted, always allowed. It doesn’t mean to say—let me emphasize this—it doesn’t mean that we always are therefore compelled to act upon the basis of what we feel. That is to say, to kill the person we hate. Hatred does not necessarily lead to violence. It is unacknowledged hatred that leads to violence. Honest hatred can be expressed in much simpler ways. 

But the expression, the recognition, the acceptance of what is honestly felt is the moral equivalent of the vision that whatever exists is a manifestation of the divine.”
