"The sonic worlds on Beetle are built one of two ways: by taking modern club standards and churning them through experimental processes, or doing the opposite."
"GRRL's laser-sharp focus on setting pristine sound design in classic club-music molds makes its tracks ideal for a sound system that blows through the chest."
"A track like "Tumble" follows the inverse process: With its vocal chops, grounded in Baltimore club, and its indiscriminate rapid-fire of percussion, the song seems more geared toward a technical demonstration of extremity than getting crowds moving."
""Butterfly" places delectable hyperpop rhythms onto a swirl of psychedelic textures, reminiscent of the work of umru and Ni."
GRRL's Twitter feed serves as a hub for new-school taste, featuring updates on Hideo Kojima, music reissues, and deep cuts. Over the past decade, GRRL has established himself in the North American club scene, known for his unique blend of radical electronic influences. His latest album, Beetle, combines digital experimentalism with club play. The tracks utilize modern club standards and experimental processes, creating a dynamic sound. Notable tracks like "Camber" and "Tumble" exemplify this innovative approach, merging various musical elements for a fresh dancefloor experience.
