Well it is now officially summer & should be the weekend of Glastonbury & guess what? It's bloody miserable! Hope this mix cheers you all up, worth it for Chicken Lips & the acclaimed Mixmaster Morris remix of "Autumn Leaves" (not very summer-ish!)
Given away with the May 2004 issue of Mixmag, do I have to tell you all about Groove Armada? I don't think so...
...except for
* The band was named after a club the duo used to run, called 'Captain Sensual at the Helm of the Groove Armada'
* Yorkshire man Andy Cato used to play trombone in a brass band and is a former Young Jazz Musician of the Year
* Tom Finlay hails from Cambridge and used to work in public reltionships for Nike
* 1998's Northern Star was awarded Best New Artist's Album by MUZIK Magazine
* Vertigo was recorded in the rural tranquility of Ambleside , at the heart of the English Lake District (Where Wordsworth used to live, poetry fans)
* Tracks "Superstylin'" and "My Friend" are used as theme music for Brazil's most popular soap opera
* Tom's cousin is Digs from Nottingham's DIY DJ collective
