Grum
Polished, neon-soaked progressive house that bridges the gap between 80s synth-pop nostalgia and modern club euphoria. Perfect for late-night drives and deep focus.

Grum creates a world where the shimmering optimism of 1980s synth-pop meets the driving, hypnotic intensity of modern progressive house. His music feels like a high-speed chase through a futuristic city, balancing warm analog textures with a cold, clinical precision that keeps the dance floor moving. It is music that manages to be both deeply nostalgic and aggressively forward-thinking.
What sets him apart is his mastery of the slow burn. Unlike many of his contemporaries who rely on sudden drops, Grum builds tension through interlocking arpeggios and evolving synth pads that reward patient listeners. There is a cinematic quality to his arrangements, often evoking the feeling of a lost sci-fi soundtrack re-imagined for a warehouse rave.
Start with the album Deep State to hear his modern, darker progressive sound at its peak. If you prefer something more playful and disco-influenced, his debut Heartbeats is a masterclass in indie-dance crossover that still sounds remarkably fresh today.
Graeme Shepherd (born 2 May 1986), better known by his stage name Grum, is a Scottish electronic musician and producer.
