New releases from Groove Armada in the pipeline

Hot off the release of their latest EP on the innovative Blive sharing service, Groove Armada’s Tom Findlay have revealed that the service have been a massive success so far – and that there is more music in the pipeline – on his MySpace blog. 

“It is astonishing how much interest it’s created, which is obviously a good thing. At the heart of it was a feeling that we had the opportunity to put this music out in what ever way we could think of. A lot of music is free but the problem is, in becoming free, it’s become disposable. We were trying to find a way of putting music out there that was free but valued. We’re trying to bring back that thing where you get a record home and you make a few tapes for your mates because you want them to hear it. It seems to have worked. It’s been making waves all over the world. People are doing it in the tens of thousands. You can only get it from the B-Live site but the tune’s popping up at number one in the Cool Cuts chart and it’s Essential New Tune on Pete Tong and all the rest of it. It’s gone as well as it could have possibly gone.”

“The EP is kind of divided into two and it hints at the two albums that we’re going to do this year. There’s the really punky/band-y kind of thing, which is the one that we’re working on now. And then over the Ibiza season we’re going to release an album of pure house music, because we could never do that on major labels. Whilst we were DJing all over the world, the stuff we were making to play was never getting put out. So we’re going to right that wrong. Anyway, yeah, I think we chose the first tune because it’s maybe the most accessible, with its vocals.” 

The guys are finishing off the first of the two albums these days. I really look forward to getting my hands on more new material.
