    (Super cool visuals to make people pay attention to your music)
    RL Grime is one of the key pioneers of the EDM trap genre that emerged in the early 2010's. In this video we take a deep dive into his backstory to get the full picture of how he led the charge of the EDM trap scene, and how he bolstered the movement with his timeless releases. We connect the dots between those early days and the present day, where he is now the label boss at the coveted Sable Valley Records, helping mold up and comers into global superstars who can follow in his footsteps.

    I went to see him as "Clockwork" back in early 2014 at EDC Mexico, maybe that was the set mentioned, he played a couple of his trap IDs and I remember being blown away by them, Tell me and Core where highlights at the time, so glad I got to see him at least as Clockwork :) it was mostly a trap/dubstep set with a sprinkle of big room after the first half hour lmao

    Love your channel bro! Been binging the whole page. While we’re on the topic of trap, can you do a video about the come up and come down of trap? It’s been on my mind a lot in recent years how trap was the biggest sound in underground edm at one point then it just seemed to completely fade with the emergence of all the dubstep. You hardly ever see a pure trap artist on lineups other than RL Grime, dude is holding it down 😩

    • @audioeats
      @audioeats  Před 21 dnem

      Where did you find that? I did a lot of digging and couldn't find any link between the two (not saying that means I'm right though). But also, Henry E Steinway/ Heinrich E Steinweg was born in 1797, and RL Grime's great grandfather was likely born somewhere in the early 1900's
      Edit: whoops I didn't see you put 2 greats, so that would push it back into the late-ish 1800's

    • @audioeats
      @audioeats  Před 21 dnem

      I just did the math and if Henry E Steinway / Heinrich E Steinweg had a kid at 30 years old, and each subsequent child had the next child in the lineage at 30 years old, that would make RL Grime the great great great great great grandson at minimum, but it's likely even more removed from that as people were having kids far younger than 30 in those time periods. So it makes it pretty difficult to trace the lineage that far back, and as far as I'm aware the link between RL Grime and the Steinway & Sons founder hasn't been confirmed or even publicly acknowledged by RL Grime. The only piece of info I can find making the claim is an Australian music publication from 2015 saying that RL Grime is the great great grandson of the founder, but obviously the math doesn't add up there and nothing else was provided to back it up. I guess my conclusion is that there isn't enough public information to confirm whether they are or aren't related, so saying they for sure aren't related in the video was a reach.

      Oh whoops I just found it, you're right! I'm still not sure what's up with the claim of him only being the great great grandson though, the math definitely doesn't add up there, but I guess they're referring to the final family owner of the company rather than the founder. Anyways, I'll pin a comment with the correction, thank you for pointing that out!
