Artist Detailed Info: Elevator Grips

Occasionally, two opposing forces come together to create something magical, which is kind of what happened when one plucky Reddit user decided to feed a load of Death Grips vocals through Microsoft Songsmith to see what happened.

If you don’t know what Microsoft Songsmith is, it’s a computer programme that allows users to match pre-recorded vocals with relentlessly cheerful music (with usually painful results). Obviously, feeding MC Ride’s chaotic, growling vocals over cheap, upbeat melodies has resulted in something intensely freaky – a mish-mash of raw punk and elevator music that was swiftly dubbed “Elevator Grips”. Ta-daaa!

The Reddit user who blessed us with this genius creation has decided to remain anonymous, so who knows? Maybe it was Death Grips themselves.
