Buzz Junior Makes Waves w/ New Track “Grills” ft. Gallium

by | Jan 21, 2023 | PREMIERE

In the ever-growing electronic scene, there are so many artists providing unique and entrancing sound experiences. With what seems like an exponential amount of music being put out daily, being a stand-out amongst the crowd can be a difficult feat to conquer. It seems, however, Nebraska producer and mix master, Buzz Junior, has defied all odds on his ride to the spotlight. Today we have the absolute pleasure of teaming up with Gravitas Records to bring forth Buzz Junior’s latest heater of a release with heavy-hitting bass artist Gallium. In the wake of their forthcoming EP, their newest collab “Grills” is not something you want to be sleeping on. With its scratch synths, thundering bassline, and overall contagious energy, this track is an absolute stomper from start to finish. A team-up such as this should definitely be illegal considering how nasty the results are. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Grills”, a certified bop.

“Gallium was staying with me while traveling and I played him my new EP that had an early version of ‘Grills’.  We started talking about it and thought his touch on that song might really set it off so I sent him the stems and was blown away by what he did with it.” – Buzz Junior

 

Diving Deep w/ Buzz Junior

1. How did you decide to get into music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

My high school had a guitar class so I was able to learn from some really good players and have some fun musical experiences that made me want to pursue a career but I didn’t get into producing electronic music until a few years after that when I first heard Gramatik, Griz, Pretty Lights and Glitch Mob. 

 

2. As an artist, you can experience a number of road blocks along the way to achieving your goals. What motivates you to continue to be creative and make music even when times get tough?

I enjoy the process of making music and I genuinely have fun learning about synths and techniques so if I’m not feeling super inspired I like to experiment with something different or learn a new skill and a lot of times it will lead to a new idea. Also I like to partake in the Partica Artist Group weekly beat cyphers as much as I can. Making a new idea from scratch in 30 minutes with immediate feedback from peers is always a good way to get past a creative road block.

3. If there was one thing you could change for the betterment of society, what would it be and why?

Like one general change for all of society I’d say PLEASE can we just stop going to war. One change for my own country I’d say could we please get free healthcare for everyone. 

4. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?

There is power in saying no.  Words of wisdom: Find a positive group of friends that you want to root for and that are rooting for you.
