Who knew a gnarly acid line mixed with trap 808s could sounds so right? The buildup makes you think like you’re about to drop into some acid techno, but it’s one of the best switch ups ever. The concept was simple, but executed oh so well. The very first breakout original RL Grime track. This is one was purely designed for climactic live moments, and it’s still one of the largest sounding tracks we’ve ever heard. Leave it up to RL Grime to push the track’s energy even further. G Jones’ “In Your Head” was already one of the most massive tracks we heard all of 2017. RL and Salva’s “Mercy” remix doesn’t get that many plays nowadays, but will always be an all-time track. If anyone asked, this is what you would send them. At this time, folks were just discovering what “trap” was in regards to electronic music. This very well may be the first RL Grime track that any of us ever heard. Kanye West – Mercy (RL Grime & Salva Remix) While the tune begins with a mysterious melody and buildup, it’s not until moments before the drop that you realize what’s about to go down. RL Grime – Feel FreeĪn absolutely brilliant opener to RL Grime’s second studio album, NOVA. “Heard Me” was the focus single, and to many, the standout track of RL Grime’s first official EP, High Beams. “Heard Me” showed that this new sound was much more than simply remixing popular EDM tracks and slapping 808s on them. Surprisingly, this is actually the only time that the two collaborated on an original track together. Both RL Grime and Baauer were leading the pack with trap music back in early 2010s, and after much anticipation, they came together on this percussive banger. “Infinite Daps” was the culmination of two artists who had been paralleled in their come-ups. The response to this track, along with the aforementioned “Satisfaction” remix, signified that RL (and other similar artists) were really onto something. On this remix, RL Grime (and frequent collaborator Salva) took an experimental ballad from Warp Records and flipped it into an absolute trunk-rattler.

After much anticipation, the trio delivered “Waiting” in late 2016. Many wondered when, if ever, RL Grime and What So Not would follow up “Tell Me.” A couple years after the release, RL x WSN would link back up-and this time they would add Skrillex’s mojo into the pot. RL Grime, What So Not, & Skrillex – Waiting One of the handful of 2012 remixes that not only led to RL Grime’s rise, but started a whole movement of artists experimenting with this very new EDM/trap sound.
Benny Benassi – Satisfaction (RL Grime Remix)
While NOVA veered away from a harder sound in general, there were a couple nods, like “Pressure,” that were designed to level a crowd.
The fact that we’re starting with this one gives you an idea of how heinous this list is about to be.

Which of these monstrous tracks hits the hardest? RL Grime sets are full of climactic moments, but to which production of his deserves the most credit for creating those moments?īelow you will find a list of RL Grime’s 20 hardest hitting tracks, in descending order. While his sound has evolved from fundamental remixes to exquisite cinematic productions, throughout his career he’s excelled at one thing in particular: bangers.Ī quick look at RL’s discography reads like an arsenal of weapons, and also poses a tough question. Henry Steinway, as of this year, has officially been releasing music as RL Grime for a full decade-and there’s no doubt that he’s one of the most prolific producers when it comes to trap.
