Gramatik Interview

Slovenian-born Gramatik confesses he never takes his music seriously – yet he still manages to throw out amazing tunes, with a healthy dose of Electronic beats fused perfectly together with Hip Hop, Jazz and Soul. Gramatik’s eclectic love and knowledge for music came from his older sister’s bountiful cassette collection. Gramatik now resides in the States, and will be touring extensively throughout Europe’s best music festivals this summer, including POSITIV festival and Switzerland’s Edge Of The Lake Festival. We hear more about what goes into Gramatik’s awesome tracks.

So being that humour is important to you… how would you say you incorporate this into your music?

I produce all my tracks and I have different musicians playing instruments.
