Show Em Sumo
The long-awaited follow up to “I Had U Ken” is finally here.
9 New tracks, 32 minutes of music.
A collection of deep, bad beats inspired by the unparalleled sumo power of Edmond Honda.
Mad Hop vol 2 compilation
Mad Hop vol 2 is one hell of a compilation, and i’m not just saying it because there’s a new track of mine in it. Plus new shit by Filtercutter, Minoo, MusSck, Lomovoloko, Lupid Ocampo and many more.
Claws
Japan’s Made In Glitch label turns to relative newcomer Grillo for its latest release. The Italian producer comes with five tracks of wonky, bleepy, 8-bit mayhem that will appeal equally to fans of dubstep’s purple wing and Brainfeeder’s convoluted hip-hop. One listen to his jumped-up din, and you’ll understand immediately why he chose an artist name that translates as “grasshopper.”
YSK EP 1 – Random World Generator
I contributed a track, OCV, to the Random World Generator EP selected with love by the fine tastemakers at You’ll Soon Know. Read more →
I Had U Ken EP
Angry lo fi synth lines buzz along with deep, stilted beats in I Had U Ken, Grillo’s tribute to the all american awesomeness of Street Fighter’s Ken Masters. Videogame samples and xbox live scrubs spouting profanity during online play adorn the shorter tracks, while Ken’s own in game voice is autotuned and vocoded to sing along in TaDaDa, feeling like drunken yodeling on acid. There’s also a chiptune remake of the original street fighter 2 ken theme, a nice trip down memory lane before the dark, dubby and moody Thunder Kick closes out the record with its menacing guitar riff.
Oscillations compilation
Oscillations compilation pt 1 by Juslikemusic and Apple Juice has been out a couple of weeks now, and i’ve been listening to it non stop. That good. If you still haven’t got it head over here and grab it for free, also look for volume 2 to drop very soon.
Fireworks Remixes
As one of Homework’s best albums ever, “Fireworks” deserved a bomb remixes release, meant to underline and deconstruct the original one.
FIREWORKS REMIXES adds a wider look to the downbeat scene already visited by Grillo.
Everything in our plans just happened as we involved an important international name like the parisian Fulgeance; a well known italian one like (Costa) and a rising talent from Bologna: Unstable Compound.
Fireworks
A bit of old school, a lot of visionary abstract instrumental hiphop, some dubstep references, a bunch of sweet melodic taste mixed with dusty sounds: this is the receipt of a great downbeat album like “Fireworks” and this is how Grillo kicks off his debut match with the Homework Records team!
Matteo shows how the new Italian abstract hiphop movement is active and fresh, winking to old school stuff and watching to contemporary instrumental tendencies at the same time.
“Fireworks” puts together influences by Prefuse 73′s melodic taste, powerful triumphal beat lines and a lot of attractive spoken quotes perfectly cut into the main rhythmic pattern.
Luta The Remixes EP
Luta – The Remixes EP is finally out and up for download at bandcamp. Luta the track originated on the 2008 Dusted Wax 2nd all star compilation, and then went on to become a minor hit. 
Then things got a bit mixed up here, i lost a couple of important files while upgrading my pc and couldn’t re-open the original track anymore. Shame, real shame, as i needed to prepare a serious live treatment for upcoming gigs. What i did instead is I started remixing it on the fly, gauging the effect on the audience and then expanding upon it.
