Barcelona 2001.The police had left us to it on the beach for Sant Joan (festival of fire). Soundsystems lined the shore, but we'd managed to smuggle down a function 1 and were having the best of it. My cousin Digs (DiY) dropped into play. The house groove rolled on. At dawn we moved inside to a warehouse nearby. And from the there it was back to Dave's place. Not sure who Dave was, but he had a nice roof terrace. So I dug around in the record box trying to find dubs, edits or B sides to suit the rising sun. A few weeks later, someone gave me a tape of it. Apparently Dave had got himself organised with the C60s. So here it is. A rambling soundtrack to a hazy morning.

On April 29th Andy released 'Times and Places'. Over the last 15 years he has been writing this album on the road on tour with GA. From Airport Lounges / Hotel Rooms / Planes / Trains and an array of tour buses. The last two years saw Andy edit all these ideas into one beautiful album. Released through the legendary Apollo Records and R&S Records, on digital and limited edition hardback CD book. There will also be a cheeky vinyl announcement on the way but more of that to come. This is Groove Armada history.

Cato's Afterhours - Lock in at Dave's place (Barcelona)

What's your musical addiction/preference?  Don't just say EDM (Trance, Progressive, House and Detroit's Bootie Tech).  Favorites DJ's/Producers: Erick Morillo (RIP), Oscar G, Saeed Younan, Chus & Ceballos, Roger Sanchez, Robbie Rivera, Eric Prydz/Cirez D, Bad Boy Bill, Judge Jules and Fatboy Slim always good to jam to. Really enjoying Miss Monique from Ukraine, Sonny Fodera and Alan Walker. Please no Dubsteb and definitely no country allowed around me makes me feel like I have terretzFlu.
