Releases “Rebel Era” on Liberated Music
GRiZ just released his first album on his new record label Liberated Music today. GRiZ is, without a doubt, one of the best rising electronic artists on the scene, which is why we having been covering him for quite some time on LiveMusicDaily. The new video above highlights the live energy of his performances and showcases his new track “Hard Times” on Rebel Era. With this new release GRiZ delivers his signature electronic soul future funk sound once again, while offering a glimpse into the future of what is to come from this young star. Additionally, there is some great collaborations on the album including the track “Simple” featuring The Floozies and the last track on the record “How it Ends” features Dominic Lalli (Big Gigantic). The entire “Rebel Era” album is available for FREE download on his website in both FLAC & MP3 formats.
GRiZ began touring in support of the new album just days ago and has an extensive US tour booked throughout October & November performing nearly every night. A highlight of the tour is certainly going to be GRIZMATIK (GRiZ & Gramatik collab) with A-trak on Halloween (Oct.31) at 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, CO. Check out full tour dates HERE.
SO proud to announce that it is the first release off of my record label Liberated Music (go there and like the page for updates and new releases) In a time where words and phrases like the occupy movement, personal freedom, the NSA, riots, elections, and war are on the tips of everyones tongues, I can feel a shift in global energy. This is a time where classism and competition is tearing a rift in society. A time where imperialist democratic capitalism is fighting its way to dominate cultures and seperate people into selfish consumers. A time where people are turning against the powers that be and are speaking out against these values. A time that is inspiring people to seek change. Its the time that we live in, an age that we created. I wrote this record over the past year in many different states and phases. From tour busses, to bedroom studios, from green rooms full of friends and scenesters, to planes thousands of feet flying through the sky. I’ve met and worked with so many new people through the creation of this album and pushed my limits as a producer to create something challenging and dynamic. Taking every single moment that I wasn’t on stage and dedicating it to developing ideas of sound; at times, left me breathless and laid out on the floor of my room with songs on repeat – anxious thoughts melting away into space. But thats the thing. I’ve found that music sets me free. Its up to us to use that which is most compelling and manifest a new reality. One free of apathy. A world of compassion, empathy and cooperation. A world of action of and love. This is Rebel Era.
