"For those who've ever wondered what Massive Attack would sound like doing bong hits with Miles Davis" - The Georgia Straight Seattle-based Polyrhythmics are celebrating 16 years of sonic exploration following the release of their latest album, Life from Below (2025). Since forming in 2010, this six piece powerhouse has redefined instrumental music with a sound that blends funk, soul, psychedelic rock, R&B, and Afrobeat into a kaleidoscope of rhythm and groove. Known for their dynamic live performances and innovative compositions, the band has earned a reputation as one of the most captivating acts on the contemporary music scene.

Founded in late 2010, Polyrhythmics was formed by Ben Bloom and Grant Schroff, who quickly gathered some of the most talented and highly sought-after performers in the North West to record an EP. Ben and Grant were coming from different musical communities, from within the NW.
