G-Space: A brilliant multi-instrumentalist and tricking artist who produces magnificent wonky beats. This month’s up & coming artist spotlight goes out to our close & beyond humble friend; amazing musician, and tricking record label owner, Grady B., also known as G-Space. Raised in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, G-Space has traveled the world doing the two things he loves the most, music production and tricking. He had gone to Europe for a tricking tour competition and in doing so had made tons of friends along the way. Fast forward a few months and dreams turn into realities. G-Space had compiled people together from all over to form a record label solely composed of trickers, named Iceberg Productions. For those of you who don’t know what tricking is: “A form of acrobatics where practitioners focus mainly on linking together chains of acrobatic kicks, flips, and twists in combinations, or combos.” Basically doing tricks us normal people would do on trampolines, right in front of us on hard ground… sometimes even playing an instrument. G-Space has defied the rules of live entertainment by being a solo act for music performance but still engaging in stage arts as well. May not be much tricking, but throwing down an original song and running to the front of stage or into the crowd and doing a backflip then going back up is pretty badass. You add that in with his insane beats that he produces or pulls from these other up & coming tricking producers, and it’s an experience that you will not get from anywhere else. He put out a mix for us on The Electronic Chronicles which can be seen in this link. For those of you who are curious about the tricking label, check out his website below for more info and their first compilation release, ‘No Experience Necessary’.
