GRUME

With heavy beats, experimental electronic soundscapes and sarcastic lyrics Berlin-based producer GRUME is taking a new approach on EBM with a genre bending concept and an Eastern-European twist. His first EP - TRAUM(A), which came out in 2021 was inspired by the Berlin industrial techno and experimental electro scene. The lead single Mental is trying to highlight the ongoing and ever worrying tendencies of the gay male society. After a longer hiatus he started to release new Singles - Lust in November 2024, followed by Meltdown in January, Day in March and Wonderland in April 2025. His first Album titled (P)URGE was released in May 2025. It is a sometimes unsettling, yet soothing and immersive collection of tracks that tell a story of broken realities through experimental electronica, darkwave synths, glitchy soundscapes and Eastern European influences. It was inspired by surreal literature, personal struggle, and the wretched state of affairs all over us. (P)URGE is both intimate and cinematic. It is raw and emotional. It is the sound of a world falling apart – and yet attempting to make sense of the wreckage. (P)URGE is a contemporary EBM experience. His eclectic style and dark compositions are influenced by PJ Harvey, Björk, Depeche Mode, Lebanon Hanover, Boy Harsher, Garbage, Napoleon Boulevard.
