Coachella Spotlight #8: RL Grime

Coachella wouldn't be quite as badass if it were missing those couple trap artists in the Sahara tent to keep the party bumping. Luckily for us, this year RL Grime will be there to knock our raging teeth in with his hard hitting bass! Stoked!

What many people don;t know about RL Grime is that he, Henry Steinway, is also known as the electro house Producer/DJ Clockwork. He started his music career as Clockwork and then created a second stage name so he could produce more genres of music and free himself of expectations/limitations of the Clockwork name. Who knew he would become a household name in two different spheres of EDM!?

He first gained traction for his music through his remixing. If you see a remix with the RL Grime name, you can expect greatness. From Benny Benassi to Kanye West, RL Grime has conquered it all. Check out any of his remixes below from his SoundCloud page!

Eventually RL Grime got picked up by Diplo's Mad Decent label and A-Trak's Fools Gold label as he started releasing his own original tunes. Last year he released his High Beams EP on Fools Gold. This EP is full of interesting, but still totally rage-able trap tunes. Check out my favorite track, Pockets, below!



I can't wait to dance around like an idiot to RL Grime's crazy set at Coachella this year. It is guaranteed to be a great time!

Happy Coachella! <3
