Product Description

“The Groovers sound is, well; take a long crazy summer weekend in Barcelona, an intense deep house session in a warehouse, an after-party where every single person in the room is singing along to Native New Yorker and winding up at the beach digging some vintage Brazilian soul – their music is a reflection and distillation of these deep underground roots, high times and the many shared adventures along the way”.

The words of Steve Ferrand and Finn Campbell-Notman, aka The Groovers.

Finn is a co-founder of seminal San Francisco deep house label Imperial Dub Recordings. He began producing and releasing on IDR at that time under the name Finness.
He has been DJing since 1991 and has held residences in various countries beginning in Bristol in the UK, San Francisco, London, Barcelona and Stockholm and was the tour DJ with Imperial Dub and with Dubtribe Sound System touring North America, Mexico and Europe.

Steve has been been DJing for over fifteen years and has been a producer and recording artist for most of that time.
The last six years have seen him recording both solo and alongside many great producers such as Funk ‘D’Void, Vincenzo, Aqua Bassino, Vince Watson and David Alvarado.
In that time he has released several extremely well received EPs on Dessous, Urban Torque, Tronic Sole and on his own label founded in 2010 with DJ/Producer Tres Manos; Your Only Friend Recordings and has also provided some stellar remixes along the way, the latest being for The Gathering’s ‘In My System’ on Silver Network .

The gents have provided us with two lush deep house cuts: “Waikiki Strut” and “Devotion”.
Waikiki Strut lives up to it’s namesake: Grass Skirts, Hula – a Hawaiian sunset slow groove. One for the beach, wherever you are. Matthew Kyle (who is actually responsible for the A&R on this one) stamps his usual, very unique slomo take on the title track (word is that he donned coconuts and a grass skirt in the studio – dedication – and i think it shows in his remix).

Devotion is perfect for more indoor and night-time orientated pursuits – take that statement however you like…Moody vocals, synths that have an almost omnipresent quality – the track glides along effortlessly.
