The Grooveblaster has been making sample-based dance, electronic, down-tempo pop for more than 10 years. His songs are a unique blend of the many artists, bands and styles that have influenced him over the years. Influences that range from Gene Krupa, Anita O'Day, Philly Soul, Massive Attack, Saint Etienne, the Clash, Steely Dan, 1970s Los Angeles Pop, Dave Brubeck, Kenny Burrell and Brian Wilson to name just a few.
His first album, "Look in the Mirror and Dig Yourself" was a mixture of laid back jazz influenced grooves, funked up beats and soulful vocal samples. A 1970s soundtrack.
The Grooveblaster’s latest CD, "Cities, Streets & Bebop Nights" which takes it's title from a Jack Kerouac phrase, features sultry and soulful vocals by Anji Bee (the lovespirals), Yasi Baby (Pacha Massive), Laura Harley and Daca Kopanja and is now digitally available worldwide on Bopaganda Hi-Fi Records.
