Meet Genji Siraisi !

Composer, producer, programmer, performer and founding member of Grammy nominated Groove Collective, drummer Genji Siraisi's 2007 album Censorsh!t: Pt.1 Bad Monkey took a post-modern (and often post-apocalyptic) stance with a mixture of downtempo grooves, glitch-hop, ambient textures and minimal dancefloor tracks, all seamlessly blended into a bold and cinematic journey. His current work is a daring shift from Groove Collective, as he explores various electronics, software and controllers in new ways. Some of Genji's solo music has also recently appeared in a diverse range of projects, from documentaries on street art and Liberia to commercials for American Express, Target and Pepsi.

Siraisi is a New York native and has been an extremely active member of the music scene in NYC, originally getting his start as the house drummer for Giant Step’s now-infamous weekly parties. Since then, besides his work with Groove Collective, he’s produced a gaggle of albums for labels like Warner Bros and Impluse and has collaborated with musicians ranging from Tupac Shakur to Natalie Merchant to Curtis Mayfield.
