Groove Motive welcomes Dillon Marinez with ‘The Growler’ EP, a two-track release that draws on the bass-driven foundations at the heart of his sound. Shaped by a background steeped in funk, reggae, and reggaeton, Marinez brings a natural sense of rhythm and movement to his take on house music.

The title track leads with a lively bassline and playful percussion, balancing a strong rhythmic drive with subtle vocal touches. ‘Primus’ takes a tighter approach, pairing crisp drums with a nimble low end for a groove that feels understated but infectious.

Across both tracks, Marinez’s ear for catchy bass work and rhythmic detail comes through clearly, making ‘The Growler’ a fitting place for his sound on Groove Motive.

‘The Growler’ EP is available here.
