Insideout



Biography of Insideout

Real name / Grant Aaron

Grant Aaron, aka Insideout, began DJing in 1997, mainly influenced by the striped down sounds of Daniel Bell, Plastikman and Mike Ink. It didn't take long for those influences to move him from behind the decks to the studio. His exploration into production initially focused on ambient and experimental, then evolving into 4/4 based electronic music. In 2000, Grant created the multimedia net label, Lifeform Project, which involved several producers from his hometown of Atlanta, but that was just the beginning.

In late 2004 Grant relocated to Brooklyn, NY and launched Clink Recordings with Camea. Together they produced their first EP titled ‘Azimuth’ in 2006, topping sales and DJ charts around the world. As a solo artist, Grant's production combines the influences of modern minimal techno and the basic fundamentals of this genre: intricate percussive programming, dark, textural atmospherics and irresistible cavernous groove. In 2009 he produced a euphoric, after-hours remix for Bruno Pronsato's 'Thesongsays' label, as well as remixes for Igloo, Lazerslut & Numbolic. In 2010 Clink released 'Girl On Fire', an emotionally charged piece inspired by tape recordings of Andy Warhol's first 'it girl', Edie Sedgwick, during her final stint in a mental institution in 1970. The recording is the product of a live studio session between Tim Xavier and Insideout, running about 12 minutes in length.

In recent years, Grant has meticulously created a following and demand for his deep, conceptual DJ sets. He rotates gigs in South America, North America and Europe, and is a New York after-hours favorite. An avid music collector, Grant is consistent and explores new trends and sounds, and it is guaranteed he will always have the latest and greatest ideas embedded within his performances.
