Fingathing X Groovement // 6DEC10

Groovement — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 22:55:43 GMT

It's about bloody time we heard from FINGATHING aka SNEAKY and PETER PARKER (minus illustrator extraordinnaire CHRIS DRURY) - although Sneaky now lives in Berlin he'd been in Manchester for a bit to play a stonkin' live show at Matt & Phred's Jazz Club, so Groovement collared him and Peter Parker to come and play with toys and put a little podcast together. Brand new album UNDEAD (working title) is due for release around April time, so here we have a couple of world exclusive previews from that in accompaniment to a lush selection from the lads. Excuse the occasional crackle, Serato was being ridiculous. Support Sneaky's vinyl release campaign here: http://thisissneaky.co.uk Fingathing: http://www.fingathing.com

GROOVEMENT // 25OCT10

Groovement — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 01:06:51 GMT

Presented by Agent J – this is the first show NOT on Unity Radio since Groovement started in October 2007 (three years ago exactly, numbers fans). Big plans are afoot for Phase Two of Groovement Radio, plans where Groovement can continue to support the thriving and inspirational music scene in Manchester and beyond, something which we would not have been able to do to our desired standard had we stuck within the restrictions of a proto-commercial FM licence. It also means we can bring the focus back onto Manchester at an international rather than solely local level, through podcasting. For now, though, it’s back to basics.

Well, well, well... a couple of weeks after joining us in the studio with Brackles, Daedelus returns to our humble Manchester studio with a special friend in tow in the form of the MotherFucking Gaslamp Killer. Jonny Dub of Hoya Hoya kicks us off with some typical Hoya fatness before Daedelus digs out his UK purchases and spins us some scratchy vinyl. Gaslamp drops some ill and upfront shit from his iPhone while Illum Sphere gets a late train in to finish us off. MONSTER of a show, and a direct result of Hoya KILLING it at the Warehouse Project the night before. The only way is up, gentlemen.

Big shout to Chunky aka Hank del Chunkus, Manc host de Hit N Run mas famoso, who killed the MC contest on stage and came out victorious!

Groovement: Paul White

Groovement — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 08:16:34 GMT

Paul White's music is like the alphabet spaghetti of hip hop and Groovement was ecstatic to catch up with him and pick his brainzz when he dropped into Manchester, hitting on everything from badgers and UFOs to elaborate pillowcase packaging.

Darren Laws is a Manchester legend. One of the stalwarts of the Fat City scene, he's recently decided to pull up roots and move away from Manc land and back to the north east for a sensible life. Consequently, most of his records have gone to the grammophone in the sky and he's left with only the very best: a selection of which can be heard over these two podcasts, recorded at his final gig at the Fat City Social at Cord, Manchester.

Groovement: Ben Webster (Ital Sounds)

Groovement — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 11:52:04 GMT

The Ital Duke cut his teeth on the sounds of Reggae with Ska band The Frustrations back in Oxford, where he immersed himself in the heavy sounds of Jamaica's finest Dub and Reggae producers. The Duke moved to Sheffield in 2007 and started in radio with the 'Dub Revolution' show (SureRadio) which blasted out reggae, dub, ska and conspiracy theories as and when they were needed (frequently). He then began DJing under the title of 'The Ital Duke' around Sheffield and started the 'Ital Sounds' show (forgeradio.com), this time as himself - Ben Webster - in 2008, which serves up a hearty portion of Reggae, Dub and Ska with extra Dubstep, Hip-Hop, Soul and anything else Ital every Thursday evening. Groovement hooked up with the Duke when he was spinning at one of the Colonel's legendary gigs in Sheffield, saw the fire in his eyes and got him on here! Enjoy... http://www.forgeradio.com http://www.myspace.com/theitalduke TRACKLISTING The Upsetters – ‘Iron Wolf’ (Black Art) Dr. Alimantado – ‘Unitone Skank’ (Greensleeves) Augustus Pablo – ‘Baby I Love you So’ (Island) Johnny Osbourne – ‘Truth and Rights’ (Soul Jazz) Niney and The Soul Syndicate – ‘Smile Dub’ (Trojan) The Heptones – ‘Cool Rasta’ (Trojan) Steel Pulse – ‘Reggae Fever’ (Island) Ras Zacharri – ‘Greetings Tenestelin’ (Roots Garden) Kenny Knots – ‘Love and Glory’ extended mix (Pirates Choice) Ras R Dee – ‘King David Greater Son’ (Sip-A-Cup) Christine Miller – ‘One Day’ (Roots Youth) I Witness – ‘Enjoy My Day’ (Unsigned) Mungo’s Hi Fi – ‘Don’t Let Them Break You Heart’ feat.

Groovement: Jimmy Screech (Banana Klan)

Groovement — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 21:01:39 GMT

Jimmy Screech warmed up for Ugly Duckling at the Ruby Lounge in Manchester, and Groovement was on hand to grab him for a niiice interview. Despite being flu-ridden and frankly knackered mate, Jimmy was more than happy to shoot the shit with Groovement - also along for the ride were Gordon G, who heads up the Banana Klan label with Roots Manuva. Gibbs, he of the fold-away keyboard, and DJ Mr Cosmo provided the remaining ambience. Enjoy, this Groovement is both informative and pretty funny. Recorded February 2009.

Groovement: Quantic

Groovement — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 18:12:20 GMT

Will Holland is a top bloke. Not only this, he's now a Colombia-dwelling top bloke, so can be relatively hard to get hold of.
In December he visited the UK; Groovement grabbed a pre-breakfast chat with him the morning after his Friends and Family session at the Mint Lounge in Manchester.
Pod in for an insight in Will's views on latin music and breakfast.
