Graves EP ‘Hilo’ Making Huge Waves

Hawaii native, Christian Mochizuki, better known as graves, started his career as a sound engineer. He thrived where he stood, winning a Grammy Award for his work on Kanye West’s “My Dark, Beautiful, Twisted Fantasy.” He’s now a rising name in the electronic community as well. He recently dropped this wobbly 6-track EP, Hilo, which has energetic, futuristic action-movie-soundtrack melodies cut with his unbelievably clean production. He collaborated with big names like Boombox Cartel, Hex Cougar and bbno$ to give us a well-rounded EP, balancing bass with hip-hop and even some underlying Egyptian belly dance tones.

Hilo is already making major waves in the electronic community; it recently hit the #1 spot, surpassing Marian Hill, LCD Soundsystem and Cashmere Cat on the Itunes charts.
