Paper Diamond & Ganz

Event Details

PAPER DIAMOND Paper Diamond, is a one of a kind artist who brings his own unique music to the table, a sound unparalleled to anything else around today. The Paper Diamond sound has raw energy and the kind of dramatic anticipation only a seasoned producer can incite. His signature style combines memorable melodies, space-age synthesizers, catchy vocals, chops, glitches, and serious experimentation to create a rich listening experience. His music can’t really be categorized or labeled -- he produces high-energy electronic music that sticks to no genre and strives to broaden the listener’s musical spectrum. As The Huffington Post says “Paper Diamond's sound has the capacity to make a packed dancefloor vibe as one. When his debut mix for BBC Radio 1's Diplo and Friends aired, Diplo mentioned that every festival in the world is not complete without booking Paper Diamond. Paper Diamond latest singles and original productions include “Black Rose” and “WYLIN” which received 250,000 plays within one week and was trending as the number one track nationwide on Soundcloud. GANZ Despite being only 24, Dutchman Jordy Saämena has already achieved and accomplished many things. As a child he first became conscious of the wider musical world when listening to hip hop, old soul and garage and soon began drumming. It was a desire to create the full song, not just the bottom end, that turned Jordy onto production. Now, eight or so years later, he has switched with great skill and style between a number of different genres. In 2012 the musician and producer began studying Electronic Music at The Conservatory in Haarlem and soon became infatuated with bass. This is no surprise given Jordy’s Moluccan heritage, a culture that is known for laying down exciting rhythms on traditional local drum, the Tifa. It was at this moment that he dreamt up new moniker GANZ (also known as GANZ GVNZ, IAMGANZ or GANZEE) and began crafting the creations we hear today. This music he makes, inspired by peers like Rustie and Hudson Mohawke, is a melange of beats and bass, r&b smoothness with hip hop rhythms and so far has been released on labels like Bmkltsch Rcrds, Saturate! Records and HW&W. Now a part of the HW&W family and intent on taking his sounds across the globe, GANZ is an artist very much on the rise.
