UPFRONTBEATS

Tenerife talent Luis Groove makes his debut on Hector Couto’s Roush imprint this February, with the ever-excellent Julien Sandre also stepping in on remix duties. With previous releases on the likes of Overall Music and his own Lowpitch Records, Spanish DJ / Producer Luis Groove has cemented himself as yet another stand out talent from the bubbling island of Tenerife over the past two decades. Following long standing residencies at Papagayo Beach Club, Keep On Dancing in Ibiza and GreenWorld Festival alongside Sankeys Ibiza and Club 7 Madrid, Luis Groove has become a name known to many, and this latest offering of stripped back cuts highlights exactly why the Spaniard has gained his previous plaudits across two excellent originals.

Opening up the EP, ‘Raving Again (Papagayo Terrace Mix)’ takes it’s influence directly from the islands infamous Papayago Beach Club, with smooth jazz lines, infectious vocals and well crafted drum breaks all combining to reveal a sun soaked cut primed for the peak time, before ‘Suka’ eases its way into the mix by introducing refined organic percussion patterns and shimmering hats throughout it’s eight and a half minute duration.

Last up, France’s Julien Sandre follows up recent releases on Outstrip Wax, Isgud and Ewax by delivering a stellar remix of ‘Suka’, incorporating his trademark combination of low-slung grooves and crisp, shuffling claps throughout, rounding out the EP with a bang.

Luis Groove ‘Planet Rave’ is out on Roush on 13th February 2017.
