Classical strings merge with deep beats: Paul Grant’s ‘Waves'

Multi-instrumentalist Paul Grant mixes moods of hip hop, jazz and 90’s RnB into a rich blend, stirred up by his talents as a session guitarist to form groove heavy tracks.

Grant himself is based in LA, but his work in electronic music has allowed him to establish international links through collaboration with artists such as Kiefer, Braxton Cook, and Adrienne Indigo.

When taking a more electronica orientated approach to music, Grant creates deep toned and melodic sound which catches the attention of those invested in the genres of chill-hop and jazz-hop, in addition to those simply looking for comfortable beats to settle into.

With support from London independent label DeepMatter Records, Grant has gradually been releasing ‘Waves’, his third solo album. Four of the fifteen tracks are now public, and mark a return to the artist’s instrumental roots. Clear influence from the jazz scene meets heavy beats as the releases take on a more focused direction.

Our featured track is named for the album, and includes work from classically trained harpist Amy Ahn. Melodies drawn out by Ahn flow into a hazy ambience, honey sweet and almost hypnotic in its laidback but deeply rhythmic progression.

Smooth jazzy beats from Bristol's Natty Reeves

@marnixkeys on the keys - check it out! https://deepmatter.fanlink.to/bills-launderette

Music can be so many things for different people. A way to escape, heal, refresh, reflect and even forget. British producer/songwriter- Natty Reeves deals with many of these themes throughout his discography, in a no-nonsense approach that focuses on quality and authenticity above all else.

A talented multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Reeves often relies on his quiver of guitars and live vocal takes to form much of the foundation for his tracks.

However his recent release ‘Bill’s Launderette’ moves in a slightly different direction, forgoing the vocals for a smooth, soulful collaboration alongside beat producer and keyboardist- Marnix.
The track is 2 and a half minutes of chilled out guitar, floating keys and a rolling, head-nodding beat. The two musicians take touches of soul, hip-hop and jazz and set it on the spin cycle for a memorable collaboration.
