The music, the queues, the heat, the feeling you got when you heard and felt the music whilst still in the queue , the way you couldn't get on the dance floor cos it was rammed...the way you thought fuck it and danced your arse off in any corner you could!! the loo's...the conversations in the loos! the strangers that became friends...then your family, the dancers, the parade up canal street, THE Chrissy Darlin, THE Rhoada horse, the photo booth, the small pics you'd stick everywhere, the glory holes...in the early years..the staff and the feeling they gave you of being safe and secure..the way you made yourself go out on a Sunday even though you were rancid still from the Friday! SABBATH SUNDAYS!!! The celebs..good and bad...aka Wagner...bad!!! the podium downstairs that you would jump into when the dancers were on a break, the dj's...the best...❤️, the spacca chair, the one and only mad Pat, the laughter, the atmosphere..ELECTRIC!! the weird and wonderful people you would never meet in any other place under one roof, the checking of essential pics on a Monday to check they were Facebook appropriate...(aka tits out!!) the spiral stairs that you'd fearlessly leap over onto the stage when a tune came on, the PC terminals that you'd pounce on if you saw someone's Facebook left open!! the place where so many memories where made...and my last two words that sum up essential which I know many of you would agree with....THE ONE!!

Essential Nightclub the seminal Gay club has finally closed it's doors for the last time........here we can relive that time and share experiences and story's, from the nights in which everybody was your freind, and it seemed that the night would never end.......

He may be best known on the bounce scene in the Northwest of England, but Liverpool DJ/producer Phill Critchley, AKA Groove Control, has achieved things many of his peers can only dream of. Since starting out as a duo back in 2008 with fellow producer Mark Waldron, then relaunching as a solo act in 2012, he has gone from the backstreet sweatboxes of the North to performing at massive events in the UK & beyond, such as the Tidy Weekender, Bounce Till I Die (in the UK & Europe), Dcibelia & Skamner in Spain and the legendary Pumpingland in Poland. He has performed at sell out shows at massive venues such as the legendary Bowlers, and his tracks also received airplay on BBC Radio 1 and Clubland TV!

Since joining the Cheeky Tracks label in 2013, he's had several #1 hits on multiple download stores and earned 3 Hard Dance Tune Of The Month awards in Mixmag. He's also mixed the first Cheeky Tracks CD album, worked with ,  & , and been supported hugely by the biggest hard dance acts, from Rob Tissera, Andy Whitby & Lisa Pin Up, to Rodi Style and legendary duo Lab 4!

Key to his success has been creating his own unique bouncy hard dance sound, combining elements of all the current dance trends of the time. It's this constant evolution of his sound has made him a major player on the UK bounce & hard dance scenes. With his success reaching new heights all the time, each year is set to better than the lasy for Groove Control.

Singer-songwriter originally from moston, Manchester, now lives in North-London, is now working on his 3rd album.
