Groove Armada

Andy Cato and Tom Findlay met in London in the mid 90’s. Groove Armada started as a series of nights across London. It was to promote these nights that they started releasing 12’s for East London pioneer 'Tummy Touch'. An album made in a week, 'Northern Star', included the downbeat anthem 'At the River'. From that came major label recognition. 'Vertigo' their first album on Jive sold over a million copies and five albums followed on SONY and BMG garnering Grammy and Brit Nominations and sold out gigs from Sydney to Moscow. A pioneering combination of performance and electronics, the GA live show evolved into one of the very best in dance music. In 2010, the boys redefined the GA sound with Black Light, an album which brought into the studio the blend of guitars and electronics that made their live shows so special. The band toured this album across the globe, closing at Brixton, a venue where they set the record for the most sold out nights. Since then the boys have gone back to their roots. Through decks&fx shows and a series of dancefloor EP’s, GA have marked a return to the DIY spirit of the warehouse turntables where the project first began. EPs and remixes have appeared on the likes of Hypercolour, Moda Black, Defected, Danse Club… Summer 2013 saw a return to their We Love Space Terrace residency and DJ gigs from SE1 to Jakarta. GA take control of every aspect of the room; sound, lighting, lasers and visuals, all from their custom built booth. The result is a live, flowing House groove cut by perfectly timed lasers and lit by real time infrared in-booth imagery. It delivers an enhanced version of the warehouse vibe the boys have lived from the beginning. 'We've been on dancefloors since 88 and know how it should feel.'

Danielle

On top of a foundational core of house, techno and electro she folds in myriad sonic wildcards to create dynamic, innovative variations on the club music experience. It’s logical her tastes would be omnivorous – Danielle spent 10 years working at fabled London record shop Phonica, one of the definitive destinations for dance music in the city, as well as a lengthy tenure at iconic Bristol store Idle Hands. Being across new releases week in, week out is one thing, but knowing how to stitch them together is another. From the breakthrough years perfecting the craft of a great warm-up to her long-standing residency on NTS Radio since 2017, Danielle shaped her approach to DJing from a free-thinking, fluid angle which still rings true now she’s more commonly found at the top of the bill. Danielle’s DJing has touched upon vital events, venues and locations around the world, from touring the US and playing flagship festivals like Glastonbury, Dekmantel, Draaimolen and Love International, to clubs like DC10, Fabric, The White Hotel, Corsica Studios and Tresor, holding down a residency season for Colour Factory in London and Left Bank in Tbilisi, and frequently picked for parties as revered as Timedance, Herrensauna and Livity Sound. In tandem, her skills have been recognised by key publications including Mixmag, DJ Mag (she was nominated as a best breakthrough DJ in 2020) and Resident Advisor. Beyond her own DJ work (she’s also a frequent contributor to many a mix series), Danielle also takes the time to impart her experience and knowledge to the next generation via her classes at Mix Nights – a non-profit organisation she helped set up seven years ago to encourage women and non-binary people to explore the art of DJing. Elsewhere, her label Soft Raw was founded in 2022 as a platform to champion the fresh talent she comes across in her position as a revered DJ and which speaks to her consistent instinct for new developments within club music. All these elements feed into the overall mission Danielle is on, pursuing her love of dynamic, physical soundsystem music with errant coding in its DNA. Keyed into new revolutions in the ever-evolving culture of the dancefloor, Danielle melds her impeccable taste together with fierce commitment and flair, delivering the impulse to move and presenting wholly new ideas to any crowd, any party, any time, anywhere.

Mella Dee

“All the artists I love always changed and evolved and were willing to rip things up and start again,” he says. “Look how much Andrew Weatherall changed and evolved for example.” The idea of Nothing Stays The Same is simple, it’s about taking creative risks and musical leaps in order to evolve. Despite great success over the last ten years, Aitchison’s passion for music is based around the ethos that everything should be moving in new directions, exploring sounds and styles that mean something to him, no matter what they are. Nothing Stays The Same is about taking what’s come before and using it to drive something new, fresh and innovative. It’s not staying in one place, it’s moving forward and progressing as an artist. Nothing Stays The Same launched at Glastonbury 2024 and was followed by a series of sold out takeovers at Pikes, Ibiza and a tour around the UK and Ireland. The DJs that Aitchison chose to join him, all follow the same ethos that’s driving this new endeavour forward, they’re artists that take risks and showcase inimitable styles. Saoirse, Gene on Earth, Amaliah, Manfredas and Ivan Smagghe, Laidlaw, Niks and Fumiya Tanaka are just some of the selectors that have featured so far. After recent releases on fabric records and Saoirse’s trUst recordings label, the debut release from his Nothing Stays The Same imprint is dropping next month. Shortly after that Aitchison will make his hotly-anticipated debut on SlapFunk with a new four track EP. Following a series of stand-out b2b sets alongside label boss Samuel Deep and a whirlwind session at the infamous ADE closing party at BRET, a new partnership has been born that sees Mella Dee enter his most exciting era yet. "I am taking my music in a more experimental direction and working on some really interesting collaborations right now," he says. "The Nothing Stays the Same parties we've thrown so far have had such an incredible vibe and atmosphere and I can't wait to see where I can take things next."
