ON DECK: The Geek x VRV

36 minutes of funky Parisian goodness.

After their smashing debut release for GRiZ's All Good Records, Parisian duo The Geek x VRV haven't slowed their roll in the slightest. Having just hit the road on their first ever North American tour in which they'll be bringing their sample heavy, electro-soul vibe to a collection of eardrums in places like Brooklyn and Baltimore, the guys are now ready to spread their sound even farther and wider. To help jazz (or more appropriately, bass) up this truth, the group have thrown together a jamming ON DECK mix for us.

Consisting of a tracklist packed almost completely with original cuts and exclusive remixes from the guys themselves, The Geek x VRV's mix displays their affinity for latching on to the velvety soulful DNA of hip-hop, soul, and bass music, while maintaining a vibrant spin that is 100% their own. Fans of the duo's label's leader, GRiZ, as well as another European purveyor of electro-soul (and THUMP fave), Gramatik, will also surely enjoy both of the influential genre figures' inclusion in this 36 minute rundown of funky Parisian flavor. If you don't, get your ears checked.
