Tag Team vs Adriatique - Whoomp! There It Is (Schemmatic Bootleg)

Vibes from a recent party at The Front Supply Company, enjoy!

@ The Front (March 23, 2024)

I was delighted to be invited to perform at Burn In The Forest this year at the renowned Bootti Frutti sound stage!

I brought some friends and incredible talents: Rachel Viccaji (vocals & kazoo), Oski MC (vocals), and Ashar & Matt (percussion), providing unique and hella groovy live instrumentation for the set. 

We had an absolute blast, and look forward to performing together more regularly! Catch us playing the Step Out party at Container Brewing on September 7, 2024.

*note the recording of this live set mainly captured Oski MC, due to the complexity of the mic set ups on the other artists and instrumentalists - though you can catch bits and pieces of them throughout. We'll endeavour to record a more comprehensive set in the future.

Gruuv Operators at Bootti Frutti (BitF 2024)

Recorded for a special occasion for some dear friends. Enjoy!

Soft Landing

Gruuv Operators were invited to perform at Platform 9 in Vancouver for Burning Van, a party put on by the team behind 'The Cottage', a sprawling series of experiences and sound stages developed by a dedicated community  )*(

Thank you to the build team, sound techs, and the dance floor - we had an amazing time with you all.

This is a recording of my set from the Vancouver Art and Leisure showcase I was invited to throw down at on April 24th. Much love to everyone who came out - good times, good people!

Step Out  @ VAL [4:24:2015]

Live recording of my set at Industrial 236 on May 31, 2025.

I was invited by Soul Hop to open the night for Jimpster and Lady Monix, two towering legends of house music - this meant the world to me, and it was a tremendous honour to set the table for this incredible party.

@ Industrial 236 (opening for Jimpster & Lady Monix) [May 31, 2025 w Soul Hop]

Some kid told me the other day he had no idea who Missy Elliot was haha, which reminded me I had a booty in the vault.

Thanks for tuning in and stepping out over the years - this one's for you!
