Groundislava, aka Jasper Patterson, is an electronic musician from Los Angeles. Growing up immersed in video games, horror movies, and science fiction, Patterson developed a plethora of musical and cultural influences. Gaming memories of his childhood played heavily into his early music, where he often used old Casio keyboards and 8-bit synth sounds. Over the following decade, his work would come to embody the full range of his childhood inspirations, using a variety of vintage synthesizers and drum machines to evoke immersive soundscapes, and share melodic tales. Alongside his own work, he teamed up alongside his childhood friends Shlohmo and Nick Melons to form the WEDIDIT crew. He also made a name for himself producing remixes for the artists like RÜFÜS DU SOL, CHVRCHES, Slugabed and Shlohmo, as well as contributing original music to Adult Swim’s “Off the Air”, and the award-winning soundtrack for video game, Streets of Rage 4.
