For Fans Of... El Michels Affair, Adrian
Younge, Roy Ayers, Karriem Riggins, The Roots, Khruangbin. Producer
"Grimez" has been making music for 20 years deep. Grimez has ghost
produced tracks for 50 cent, Hi-Tek, Kool Keith, Stick man (DEAD PREZ),
Killah Priest, Sadat X, MOOD & Talib Kweli, and Mighty Diamonds to
name a few. Gritty & raw analog instrumentals Deep, Hard Hitting
Soul-Jazz Meets Dub Instrumental Analog Grooves For Your Psyche. In few
words, Doctor Bionic can be described as Instrumental b-movie psych-hop.
But that doesn't tell the whole story. Doctor Bionic is the brainchild
of Cincinnati's Jason Grimes, formerly the producer of the hip-hop group
MOOD (with emcees Main Flow & Donte). Having grown up in the
Scribble Jam scene here in Cincy, and running in circles that included
artists like Hi-Tek & Talib Kweli, Grimes' music has continued to
evolve from sample-based loops, to live instrumentation with deep
layering; provided by a revolving door of local musicians. The common
thread in most Doctor Bionic tracks are the neck snapping drum breaks,
but the tempo adjustments and varying instrumentation lends itself to a
collection of non-genre specific songs - held together in unity by the
flawless drums, often provided by Josiah Wolf (of indie-rock band Why?).
The result of these recording sessions are a masterclass in musical
juxtaposition. Spacious yet clustered. Futuristic nostalgia. Ideal for
long car rides or setting the vibe during a laid back gathering of
friends.
