Информация о артисте
Лондонский электронно-танцевальный дуэт Groove Armada был сформирован в середине 90-х ди-джеями и мультиинструменталистами Томом Финдли (Tom Findlay) и Энди Като (Andy Cato). Коллектив начал выступления в собственном клубе, названном так же, как и группа - Groove Armada (в честь одноименной дискотеки, функционировавшей в 70-е в Ньюкасле). В одной комнате Энди играл хаус, в другой Том заводил фанк. Затем они съехались в одну комнату, где и произвели на свет свой удивительный плод - прогрессив-фанки-хаус, легкий, изысканный, очень позитивный. Некоторые критики даже сочли их похожими на Sly & The Family Stone. К 1997 году было издано несколько синглов, включая "4 Tune Cookie" и "At the River", дебютный альбом "Northern Star" вышел на следующий год. Изданный в 1999 году альбом "Vertigo" вошел в британскую двадцатку и получил в Англии серебряный статус. Сейчас он считается выдающимся образцом британского прогрессив-хауса, соединяющим в себе электронные и живые звучания, шансон и рэп, ретро и ультрамодные элементы. Столь же успешными были и синглы с альбома, среди которых особенно выделялся "I See You Baby", отремиксированный Fat Boy Slim-ом. Вскоре на группу обратил внимание сам сэр Элтон Джон, предложивший Groove Armada роль "разогревающей" команды. В 2000 году альбом "Vertigo" был издан в США. Засим последовал альбом ремиксов ("The Remixes"), к которому приложили руку DJ Icey и Tim "Love" Lee. Еще одна микс-коллекция - "Back To Mine" (также 2000) продемонстрировала нетипичный подход к ремиксам, которые были выполнены не в традиционно танцевальном, а в даун-темповом, джазовом и фанковом ключе. Groove Armada продолжила свои фанкоделические изыскания в альбоме 2001 года "Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub)", отмеченном сотрудничеством с Ричи Хэвенсом, Найлом Роджерсом и Jeru Tha Damaja. Сегодня Groove Armada продолжает оставаться крайне востребованным клубным коллективом - помимо работы в собственном заведении, они являются резидентами одного из крупнейших лондонских клубов - "Fabric". Для концертных выступлений приглашаются до семи "живых" музыкантов.

Groove Armada is an electronic music group from Cambridge, United Kingdom, composed of two members, Andy Cato (real name Andrew Cocup) and Tom Findlay. They first came to fame with a 1997 limited single release, At the River (made famous after being used in various Marks & Spencer advertisements), which sampled "Old Cape Cod" by Patti Page. The song has since made its way onto numerous chill-out compilations.
Their most famous work is the 2000 international hit I See You Baby, remixed by Fatboy Slim in the Big Beat style -- with the repeated chorus line "Shakin' that ass," as heard in Renault Mégane advertisements. Vocals were provided by Ibiza-based DJ Gram'Ma Funk. Incidentally, this track was also recorded with the chorus line "Shakin' that thang" as a radio edit. While this is their most famous work, they have also produced less mainstream songs which are often featured in television adverts.
In the early part-of 2008 after parting company with Sony BMG, Groove Armada signed an "all encompassing deal" with the Bacardi rum brand that allows them to use GA's tracks for adverts. For more information, read Bands turn to brands in new deals
* Groove Armada's Suntoucher was sampled by Jay-Z for the song "What More Can I Say" on his Black Album.
* The track Hands of Time is featured in the movie Collateral, and is referred to by one of the characters as a "classic song." It is also featured in the television series Cold Case; it was played as the ending song in the episode entitled Street Money, from the show's sixth season.
* Groove Armada's debut album was Northern Star, released in 1998.
* In 1999, Groove Armada released Vertigo, which had a more polished, mainstream sound. This album includes "At The River," which was re-released as a single (#23 UK).
* In 2001, Goodbye Country, Hello Nightclub was released, with the title suggesting their new album was more upbeat and less geared toward chilling out -- as demonstrated by the single "Superstylin'" (#5 UK).
* In 2002, they released the DJ mix album Another Late Night: Groove Armada, part of the Another Late Night series on Azuli Records.
* In 2002, less than a year after Goodbye Country, Hello Nightclub, Groove Armada produced Lovebox, which incorporated a variety of genres. Some tracks, such as "Madder," featured a rock element, while others, such as "Lovebox" and "Remember," were closer to traditional house. "Remember" has vocals made up entirely of samples of Sandy Denny singing at Fairport.
* In 2004, Groove Armada released a best-of album, which included hits and new productions (#6 UK).
* In May 2007 Soundboy Rock was released, featuring the track Get Down. Guest appearances include M.A.D., Red Rat and Mutya Buena (see: Sugababes). The album was released on CD, Vinyl, and also as a limited CD package with 2 bonus tracks.
* In March 2010 Black Light, their 6th studio album, was released.
