Grum grew up in Linlithgow, near Edinburgh, on a diet of classic rock and synth-pop. His dad loved REO Speedwagon and similar Top Gear driving tackle, as did many of his mates, who would drag him to “crappy”, lager-fuelled metal nights around town.
Privately, however, young Grum was cultivating an interest in the electronic arts. “When I was really young, I remember recording Human League’s ‘Don’t You Want Me’, on my little cheapo hi-fi, and listening to it on repeat, for hours.” Grum, who rates ‘Dare’ and Daft Punk’s ‘Discovery’ as his favourite albums, laughs: “And that made me the man I am today.”
