4. Muy Tranquilo

If you came to the Gramatik game late, you might think that he's got an in-your-face, aggressive, hard-edged sound. No, no, no, my friend. Nobody does downtempo like the main man, DJ. I also threw in a little bonus, also from Street Bangerz Vol 3, that's got this fun, 60's girl group sound. The Shirelles meet the shredder.

3. Talkbox Intended

Think back to 2012, when SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA threatened the freedom of the web and net neutrality. The concept of #digitalfreedom was such a touchstone of the times, and Gramatik's album hit us right where we needed it. Always political, always cynical, and always right on time.

2. While I Was Playing Fair

Pitch shift Ray and let's get the party started. Another classic from that very first PLM album gets the rump rolling. This is electro-soul at its finest with a true master behind the controls.
