The new episode of our podcast series was recorded by Leeds based Groovy D, whom we were happy to welcome here in Tbilisi last winter. Lots of 2step and ukg inside for warm spring days.

TRACKSUIT 05 → Groovy D

Gimme A Break Records present Groovy D’s “Phase Shift EP”, a collection of 3 genre-bending tracks designed for the club, supplemented with a leftfield breakbeat remix from An Avrin. Leeds-based Groovy D is a former founding member of Denham Audio, who has amassed an enviable string of releases on highly respected labels, including Shall Not Fade, Unknown To The Unkown and Hardline Sounds. His sound primarily contributes to the new wave of 2-step and 4x4 UKG. However, he also draws influence from UK Funky, Dubstep and Techno in his productions. Groovy’s sets are as energetic as his tracks, allowing him to play at a number of top clubs in the UK and around Europe. 2023 sees no slowing in the pace and momentum of Groovy’s rise, with sets as far flung as Tbilisi, Georgia as well as a huge fabric debut.

GABD013 sees Groovy at his most unrestrained, colliding ideas from multiple genres in a highly energetic EP. In “Freak U” Groovy utilises his break chopping skills to create a contemporary electro-style beat against the backdrop of an acid-like rave stab, constantly moving and shifting throughout the track. “Phase Shift”, the track which kickstarted the EP, came together quickly on a train down to the capital. This 145 bpm rave weapon features meticulously chopped break elements as well as high-energy stabs and is bound to get the club moving. Building on the success of his highly sought-after “Glue Riddim” released on ec2a, Groovy melds elements from Dubstep, UK Funky and Breakbeat to send “Ravey Riddim” to new heights. Finally, Scuffed Recordings mainstay and South London’s resident leftfield wizard An Avrin provides a stupendous remix of “Freak U”, sending listeners through a portal of incomparable sound design.

Reptile Mob is an all-new sub-label from the revered GLBDOM that is focussed on Garage House and Bassline. Its first drop was a killer and now this second outing is a Various Artists collection featuring six standout and bass-heavy jams. It's garage on the A-side and speed garage on the B-side so choose your weapon: Groovy D's 'Outta My Mind' is a sweet shuffler drenched in soul, there's grit in the grooves of 'Ganja Sensation' (U-Tah vocal dub) and Highrise layers up the 2-step sounds. Full-on nawtiness defines the olds school sirens and slamming bass of the reverse side. Get stuck in with gun fingers at the ready!

A3. PJ Statham - All Dancers

B1. Ease Up George - Good Love
B2. Groovy D - Another Chance
B3. Xamount - Physical

Reptile Mob is back with a third part of its superb on going compilation series and this one looks at different aspects of the garage house sound. Side a-begins with some fresh four-four grooves no least the opener from the legend that is Perception with Andy G and S.R.'s dubby 'Let's Go' remix. Conspiracy Dubz keeps it bumping with the old school feels of 'Musical Rush' and on the B-side it is more of a 2-step sound that emerges with jazzy melodies and female vocals. Groovy D's 'Another Chance' is the real standout for us with its classic vocal sample worked into a nice kinetic rhythm.

Underground Garage label by @glbdom

Demos: reptilemobz@gmail.com

I stay underground and so do my musical interests. The talent emerged through the Dubstep, Garage and D&B genres have kept sounds deep, emotional , atmospheric ,uplifting ,dark and engaging. All those elements feature on this platform.....

My personal journey started with Mj Cole's  "Sincere" released in spring 98. That tune along with Goldie's " Innercity life" and " Timeless" Album from 95 was a soul defining moment of 90's UKG ,the D&B scene and my personal appreciation for music. It has been etched into my brain since 8 years old. UK Garage was my number one genre back then and i still spin mixes past,present and new to reminisce as it was my first venture into underground music . 06/07 was my discovery of Dubstep and Burial. Tunes like Skream's " Glamma" , Coki's " Haunted " Kromestar's "Ghostship" and many more was a fresh pleasure to the ears as were the dark ,wobbly dub elements found in most early songs back then. Burial however was the guy to really take it to dark places .Often described as the " Midnight london soundtrack" His E.P Untrue made me want to dive into the genre even more and out came a craving for half beat subbassed darkness. A Follow up of artists LX One, SPMC, Kahn and more kept me addicted to this day...

 2011 a sub genre emerged from Dubstep called future garage. A mix between 2step garage and Ambient Dubstep sounds. Pushed by early pioneers submerse and clueless. This genre gained another follower within me. Once again a genre thriving underground for a minority and has stabilised with talents like sorrow, craset, sloati and many others. 

2015 i retraced my subtle love for intelligent/atmospheric D&B and the liquid form which has amplified my ties with Drum & Bass from the 90s . Having heard a Smooth & Groove podcast on insta fm(Northampton) i was hooked by the melodies and deep pads used. This prompted a look into releases on Soul Deep and Smooth and Groove records, coming across Greekboy's " inside your soul" this was the tune to throw me into a binge of great present D&B music

All these genres have a special place in my soul and i will continue to DJ and hopefully produce these genres that take you on a journey like no other.
                           Bless to the listeners, Subscribers and support x
