I have to admit I wasn't really surprised when I realized this plaid-wearing hipster went to the same university as me, NYU. It makes sense though; beat-loving Henry Steinway setting off across the country from LA, (he's part of the WeDidItCollective over there) to explore the big city, (where a lot of people think their "musicians") and all its cracked out and yet-to-be discovered music genres and acts. Grime is the real deal though, and he is definitely on the way to establishing himself on the East Coast. He must have been influenced by moving, as he started his RL Grime project just recently, (he calls it future-crunk) moving away from his electro/house alter-ego, Clockwork. Steinway as Clockwork was pretty successful on both coasts and continues to release songs here and there. I recently posted his remix of Avicii's "Levels" and will include some more tunes below. For now, Steinway seems focused on being RL Grime, which really represents the movement of electronic music today: highly eclectic, blending elements from bass, dubstep, r&b/rap genres, and more. Enough talk, here are some of the best tracks off Grime's recent EP, Clipz.
RL Grime Neat
RL Grime Die 4 Me

And now here are some straight-up bangers from Clockwork.
Get ready to rage your fucking face off:
Clockwork Weaver (Original Mix)
Valerna Amazing (Clockwork Remix)
Look! He does Moombahton too!
The Beatards Tramp (Clockwork Moombahton Remix)
On a unrelated note, TimeOut New York just released some mixes by featured artists that will be at Electric Zoo this year, aka in a week! I'm beyond excited and one of the acts I hope to catch made the mix below, Daedelus.
