basketballparty – The Great Adventures of Grantastic

Throwback DJ

Posted on May 28, 2020August 28, 2022

Another night DJ’ing for a Punch basketball party at café Luniz in Delft, 17-11-2007. This time with a DJ interface they gifted me. It’s the Hercules DJ Console Mk2. This was a much needed upgrade as it allowed me to match beats of the songs properly. Still small scale and a bit of a ghetto…

Bio

Grantastic is a music producer, beatmaker, rapper and former DJ from the Netherlands. He started writing rhymes at around the age of 16 and feeling the need for a beat to rap on, made his first beat on the computer in 2000.
In high school he met a fellow music enthusiast Scrilla and soon was invited to join his Hip-hop collective the NLN. Grantastic made beats for Scrilla and first appeared as a featured rapper on a track called “Speak On It”. Later he produced two tracks on “Brooksville: Streets Keep Callin’” by Petey XO. He also produced for Dutch underground artists: Mc Goddess and Daniël Air.
His first album Hima Lava (which translates “Now is Good”) was released in 2020. His second album which is a follow-up is called "Heto Lava" (meaning "Later is Good").
His style of beats is influenced by West Coast G-Funk, Electro Funk & Classical music. He strives to create chill, uplifting and positive vibrations with unique sound combinations, inspiring people to be creative.
