Doctor Bionic

Doctor Bionic is the brainchild of Cincinnati-based DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Jason Grimes, a veteran of the city’s hip-hop scene since the 1990s. Known for crafting raw, soulful instrumental beats with analog gear and live musicians, Grimes honed his skills during hip-hop’s golden era, digging for jazz and funk samples while producing for acts like MOOD before launching his solo project. Under the Doctor Bionic moniker, he blends psychedelic soul, jazz, and dub into "instrumental b-movie psych-hop," collaborating with local talent like drummer Josiah Wolf (of Why?) and releasing genre-bending albums such as *Shape-Shifters* (2022) and *In The Infinite* (2023) via his label Chiefdom Records.

His work thrives on juxtaposition—spacious yet layered, nostalgic yet futuristic—with neck-snapping drum breaks and live instrumentation defining recent releases like *The Island Of Doctor Bionic* (2025). Grimes’ DIY ethos shines through as he writes, produces, and mixes everything himself while curating a rotating lineup of Cincinnati studio musicians for his immersive, groove-centric soundscapes.
