Emerging from the endless summers of Venice, CA to teaming up with Shlohmo, D33J, RL Grime and more to form the Wedidit crew, Jasper Patterson aka Groundislava has transformed from bashful video gamer to full-fledged composer. The son of Michael Patterson (who directed A-Ha's standout music video "Take On Me" and Paula Abdul's "Opposites Attract"), Groundislava has roots that draw from 80s nostalgia, TV and pop culture that grow and transform into the 21st Century aesthetic of electronic music.
Recently tapped for official remixes of Chvrches and Rüfüs Du Sol, Groundislava’s brand new 'Feel The Heat' EP comes ahead of his upcoming LP due this September, a concept album entitled ‘A Frozen Throne’. A mature step for the artist, 'Feel The Heat' showcases Groundislava's unique sensibilities for developing sweeping soundscapes, luscious backdrops and somber tracks in a distinct sound all his own. Featuring LA-based future pop duo Rare Times, ‘Feel The Heat’ EP is out now to be followed by the 'Frozen Throne' LP coming in September, both on Friends of Friends / Wedidit.
