[@bboyrocker83]

Love your music man ...really great mixture ....I'm a bboy/freerunner/and bassist....so you could imagine how many music I listen to...and let me tell you gramatik is my fav..THANKS!!

[@Electronix]

I can relate to what he says about mixing your own stuff, I feel him on that! I've never heard his music before but hearing his point of view make me want to check him out.

[@Jessicamarie323]

I miss this guy what happened to him?! Wish he still toured. the age of reason is one of the best EDM albums of all time IMO.

[@DjangoFlaherty]

Holy crap! I always imagined that he had an enormous record collection, and sent his stuff off to be mastered! Wrong on both counts - what an inspiring guy. Again with Beatport sponsoring interviews with guys who release their music for free! LOL. Check him out on Pretty Lights Music and on Facebook. Wish it were longer to be honest, but very grateful nonetheless. Always wanted to see an interview of him.

[@ClectaSkiMusic]

The beat at the ending of the video is so dope!

[@RickyTrivedi]

Great interview with good insight and information.

[@XxieLu]

Cant wait for him to finaly come home and performe:)

[@PetiPolk]

Does anyone have a Gramatik drum kit? Beacause I've been searching for some time now and I can't find one. I just love his drums.

[@frolilapume]

1 more thing gramatik fights for music to be free, so check out PrettyLights, download discography, and then donate if you like it( if you can afford to donate in these times).

[@xhumaninterfacex]

Lylax

[@PushYourEdge]

"somebody"

[@frydchde88]

Interesting producer for relaxed beats, more like ambient rather than proper electronic music!

[@cjmull42]

I really like Gramatiks productions. That being said I wish I never watched this video and learned how he plays ""live"" because thats a effing joke and the reason people dont take dance music seriously. Oh and wtf is his friends name that plays guitar? The guitar playing in his recent albums in my opinion pretty much defines what his music is today. You would think he would give his "friend" a little more credit....

[@ChazWick4]

+Mulligan The way he makes beats isn't really doable live. He would have to start from scratch; re-gather the original sample, chop up the parts he uses, lay each kick/snare/hi-hat down individually, lay the bass down, copy/paste all the patterns etc.. that process alone takes hours. I think it's pretty cool that he takes the original track and adds to it. Who would want to go to a show and hear the beat exactly how it sounds anyway? He brings a live guitarist and adds different drum-loops and synth layers to make it more interesting.

[@bradyg7741]

+ChazWick4 he brings people playing horns out too. It's awesome.

[@TomahAwkDJ7]

He could play the chops on the pads with a midi controller like some guys do on old mpc or new maschine, etc... Still his music is awesome but I agree with Mulligan.

[@scarletcrusade8729]

i watch him once live. This guys is fire i really loved the show

[@tylrbass]

eww.. arrangement view for performing?

[@thelocust64]

im sorry but i dont consider this guy to be a "songwriter". He takes things that are laready written and ads a heavier beat to them...hes a remixer. where the credit the the real composers who create his sound?

[@bradyg7741]

Not all of his songs are only instrumentals. And he's still "writing" the song, just electronically.

[@ChazWick4]

+thelocust64 I'm sure he clears his samples. This is how classic hip-hop beats have been made since the 80's bud, respect the craft or don't listen

[@thelocust64]

ChazWick4 I wasn't worried about the copyrights. I realize how its made. I just think if someone took a Monet painting and then graffiti'd over it they would have to atleast state the original artists. Its their right to release it as a piece of art but I think they should name the original artist on principal

[@chilliilli4759]

+thelocust64 listen to "war of the currents" or "23 Flavours"

[@ChazWick4]

thelocust64 Clearing a sample deals with all of that. Usually the original artist gets royalties.. sometimes album credits, sometimes they request no credit at all. It all depends on what they want when you contact them for permission.

[@djtechfools]

It's still awaiting approval from Madeon. Want us to release it? Let him know on Twitter - @madeon
