MECCA:83 // 28NOV11

Groovement — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 19:40:50 GMT

Recorded this week at Groovement Towers, the architect of one of Groovement’s albums of the year lays down a sublime selection of tracks for the podcast. Mecca:83‘s been skulking in the shadows a good few years now, particularly around the Manchester hip hop scene. The jazzy Rise album snapped our attention away from lesser musics earlier this year with its release on Simon S’ Futuristica record label, and the following Mecca:83 EP cemented what we had already guessed: Evan Jones is a badman. Tracklisting Danny Drive Thru – Don’t Close Your Eyelids Mecca 83 – Togetherness Mecca 83 – Untitled (Random freshness) Mecca 83 – Midnight Kiss ft Kansar (fresh this pm) Mecca 83 – Around Midnight Mecca 83 – Good Morning Mecca 83 – Love Story 3LL – Indigo Principle Mecca 83 – With You StarrSkream – Encore Eric Lau – The Mission Chief and Moka Only- Mess Around (Elaquent Remix) Mike Slott – My Lightbridge (Knxwledge Remix) MAGr x Hud Mo – Buttafly Mecca 83 – Unknown Mecca 83 – Unknown RLP – Monovsky Physics Fitz Ambro$e – Kassie ta-Ku – lighter Kan Sano – Fonce’s Sky Called Understandable Souls – Could Not Find You Illa J – Swagger J Dilla – Think Twice (ft Dwele) Danny Drive Thru – Don’t Close Your Eyelids

Groovement — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:33:47 GMT

DABRYE's only UK date in 2011 was at HOYA HOYA, Manchester - hype around the man had been at an all time high around the end of 2011, not least in thanks to the #freeDabrye campaign in anticipation of Three/Three's eventual release... Hoya Hoya resident ILLUM SPHERE and DABRYE took to a 2 hour back to back session (3 or 4 tunes each on rotation) broadcast on Hoya's UStream and archived here on Groovement. Music all the way apart from a chat after an hour or so - enjoy! No tracks IDs - I couldn't keep up ;) http://hoyahoya.co.uk Download 320: http://www.groovement.co.uk/2011/11/podcast-dabrye-x-illum-sphere-hoyahoya-27nov11/

Mary Anne had previously worked with Hoya when she played at their Warehouse Project curation. We hooked up before her set to chat post-Radio 1 life, her contribution to Black Swan and Hoya Hoya. Matt and Phred’s Jazz Club saw another excellent booking in February with the arrival of ARIYA ASTROBEAT ARKESTRA to the stage – nine members filled up the stage and I haven’t seen the venue that full… well, ever. A lovely bunch of chaps and deserving of big things, the lads came together after working disparately on a number of projects in the Leeds/First Word fam. Awareness of their self titled album continues to grow since its release as they fill up venues everywhere.

Fingathing X Groovement // 6DEC10

Groovement — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 22:55:43 GMT

It's about bloody time we heard from FINGATHING aka SNEAKY and PETER PARKER (minus illustrator extraordinnaire CHRIS DRURY) - although Sneaky now lives in Berlin he'd been in Manchester for a bit to play a stonkin' live show at Matt & Phred's Jazz Club, so Groovement collared him and Peter Parker to come and play with toys and put a little podcast together. Brand new album UNDEAD (working title) is due for release around April time, so here we have a couple of world exclusive previews from that in accompaniment to a lush selection from the lads. Excuse the occasional crackle, Serato was being ridiculous. Support Sneaky's vinyl release campaign here: http://thisissneaky.co.uk Fingathing: http://www.fingathing.com

Jonny Dub of Hoya Hoya kicks us off with some typical Hoya fatness before Daedelus digs out his UK purchases and spins us some scratchy vinyl. Gaslamp drops some ill and upfront shit from his iPhone while Illum Sphere gets a late train in to finish us off. MONSTER of a show, and a direct result of Hoya KILLING it at the Warehouse Project the night before. The only way is up, gentlemen.

Groovement: Ben Webster (Ital Sounds)

Groovement — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 11:52:04 GMT

The Ital Duke cut his teeth on the sounds of Reggae with Ska band The Frustrations back in Oxford, where he immersed himself in the heavy sounds of Jamaica's finest Dub and Reggae producers. The Duke moved to Sheffield in 2007 and started in radio with the 'Dub Revolution' show (SureRadio) which blasted out reggae, dub, ska and conspiracy theories as and when they were needed (frequently). He then began DJing under the title of 'The Ital Duke' around Sheffield and started the 'Ital Sounds' show (forgeradio.com), this time as himself - Ben Webster - in 2008, which serves up a hearty portion of Reggae, Dub and Ska with extra Dubstep, Hip-Hop, Soul and anything else Ital every Thursday evening. Groovement hooked up with the Duke when he was spinning at one of the Colonel's legendary gigs in Sheffield, saw the fire in his eyes and got him on here! Enjoy... http://www.forgeradio.com http://www.myspace.com/theitalduke TRACKLISTING The Upsetters – ‘Iron Wolf’ (Black Art) Dr. Alimantado – ‘Unitone Skank’ (Greensleeves) Augustus Pablo – ‘Baby I Love you So’ (Island) Johnny Osbourne – ‘Truth and Rights’ (Soul Jazz) Niney and The Soul Syndicate – ‘Smile Dub’ (Trojan) The Heptones – ‘Cool Rasta’ (Trojan) Steel Pulse – ‘Reggae Fever’ (Island) Ras Zacharri – ‘Greetings Tenestelin’ (Roots Garden) Kenny Knots – ‘Love and Glory’ extended mix (Pirates Choice) Ras R Dee – ‘King David Greater Son’ (Sip-A-Cup) Christine Miller – ‘One Day’ (Roots Youth) I Witness – ‘Enjoy My Day’ (Unsigned) Mungo’s Hi Fi – ‘Don’t Let Them Break You Heart’ feat.

Groovement: Jimmy Screech (Banana Klan)

Groovement — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 21:01:39 GMT

Jimmy Screech warmed up for Ugly Duckling at the Ruby Lounge in Manchester, and Groovement was on hand to grab him for a niiice interview. Despite being flu-ridden and frankly knackered mate, Jimmy was more than happy to shoot the shit with Groovement - also along for the ride were Gordon G, who heads up the Banana Klan label with Roots Manuva. Gibbs, he of the fold-away keyboard, and DJ Mr Cosmo provided the remaining ambience. Enjoy, this Groovement is both informative and pretty funny. Recorded February 2009.

Groovement: Quantic

Groovement — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 18:12:20 GMT

Will Holland is a top bloke. Not only this, he's now a Colombia-dwelling top bloke, so can be relatively hard to get hold of.
In December he visited the UK; Groovement grabbed a pre-breakfast chat with him the morning after his Friends and Family session at the Mint Lounge in Manchester.
Pod in for an insight in Will's views on latin music and breakfast.
