GRiZ presale codes

GRiZ is a Detroit-born producer and sax player who blends funk, soul, and chest-rattling bass.

Funk roots, bass future

After pausing the project in 2023, every new date carries a reunion feel and puts the horn front and center. Expect a set that toggles between feel-good grooves and gritty drops, with likely plays of Good Times Roll, I Like That, Smash The Funk, and Rainbow Brain.

Sax, drops, and community

You will see long-time fans in rainbow jackets next to bass-heads and jam-minded dancers, with friend crews singing hooks and swapping high fives. His annual GRiZMAS charity has funneled real dollars into Detroit music education initiatives. Early on he launched All Good Records to support friends and release his own work between majors. Setlist picks and production cues here are informed guesses and could pivot show to show.

The GRiZ fam in the wild

The crowd style mixes thrift blazers, basketball jerseys, and glittered bucket hats, with pride flags and sax pins on bag straps.

Show love, spread love IRL

Friends trade kandi and enamel pins from past GRiZMAS runs, comparing designs like baseball cards. During Good Times Roll, the hook turns into a sing-back moment and small pockets of harmony ripple from rail to lawn.

Little rituals, big heart

Between drops, the Show Love, Spread Love ethos shows up as water passes, checking on neighbors, and giving dancers space. Merch tends toward pastel hoodies, tie-dye tees, and the occasional sax-shaped trinket that disappears before posters. You will catch nods to early-2010s electro-soul in tape-style fonts and vapor-tinged colors. It feels like a community that prizes play and care equally, more block party than nightclub even when the bass gets heavy.

How GRiZ builds a wall of groove

The spine of the set is a tight loop between crunchy bass drops and warm sax melodies that sing like a lead vocal.

Horn meets heavy

When GRiZ cues a hook from a featured singer, he often shifts into a simpler groove so the line sits clear before the horns return. Expect chunky mid-tempo funk around head-nod speeds, then halftime turns that make the kick feel huge without rushing the beat. Older songs show up with fresh drum grids or stripped intros that let the crowd clap the backbeat before the sub hits.

Groove before glare

A small harmonizer doubles his sax a bit higher, creating a two-horn illusion most obvious in the intro to Good Times Roll. He often slips a mellow Chasing the Golden Hour passage between rowdy moments to reset ears and heighten the next impact. Visuals lean on saturated color and neat laser fans that frame the pulse rather than stealing focus.

If you like GRiZ, meet the neighbors

Fans of GRiZ often cross over with Pretty Lights for vintage-soul samples over swollen bass and heady grooves.

Kin across the bass-funk map

Big Gigantic hits a similar lane with live sax and drums that turn drops into brass-led choruses. If you want lush chord work and live looping, FKJ scratches that itch while keeping things smooth.

Shared DNA, different routes

The Floozies bring playful Midwest electro-funk that favors bright keys and slap-happy rhythms. If you like how GRiZ stretches a feel into a patient peak, these artists share the same crowd-friendly rise-and-release approach.
