Groove Armada

Groove Armada is the acclaimed English electronic music duo consisting of Andy Cato and Tom Findlay. Formed in London in the mid-1990s, they quickly rose to prominence with a sound blending house, big beat, chillout, and funk influences. Their debut album *Northern Star* (1998) laid the foundation for a career marked by vibrant experimentation and cross-genre appeal.

The breakthrough came with the release of *Vertigo* (1999), which featured the international hit "At the River." Characterized by mellow grooves and evocative sample work, the track helped establish Groove Armada as leaders of the downtempo and electronic scene. Continuing to evolve, their third album *Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub)* (2001) delivered club anthems like "Superstylin’", which brought a harder, more dancefloor-focused energy and earned them a Grammy nomination.

Over subsequent albums—including *Lovebox* (2002) and *Soundboy Rock* (2007)—the duo collaborated with diverse vocalists and musicians, establishing a tradition of vibrant, eclectic releases. Groove Armada became celebrated for dynamic live performances, seamlessly merging DJ sets with live instrumentation, resulting in headline slots at major festivals worldwide. Their extensive discography, including the critically acclaimed album *Black Light* (2010) and the return-to-form *Edge of the Horizon* (2020), showcases consistent innovation, traversing electronic subgenres while maintaining their signature melodic flair.

Outside the studio, both members have contributed to music culture through DJing, label management, and event curation. Groove Armada’s enduring influence is evident in both their chart success and the respect they command from peers and fans alike, solidifying their legacy as pioneers of the global electronic music movement.
