GROOVE ARMADA, RED LIGHT TRAX...

Since unveiling their revelatory audio-visual Red Light show with a series of high-octane performances starting at Rockness this summer, Groove Armada have been wetting people’s appetites with the first taste of their new project.

Now, they are set to unleash the first of this material in the form of the five-track 'Red Light Trax Vol.1' EP, taking you on a journey through a world of late nights, dark clubs and hedonistic underground music.

As the soft rave-flecked synth stabs rise through the mix ushering in the EP, lead track ‘The Pleasure Victim’ immediately delves into the warehouse sound that the Red Light project has re-envisioned, taking their sound back to their roots with a refined sound honed to perfection from years of rocking crowds.

'Ocsillator One' tows a harder line driven by the solid thud of the kick and ascending bass pulses while buzzing synth lines squirm through the track. 'Torrentes' takes a more minimal approach with acid synths, jacking rhythms and surging bass swells, while the twilight synths of 'Stevie Late Night' head deeper. The EP finishes with 'RJ's Theme', an eight-minute voyage into spacier territory.

As the last track trails off into the morning air, it is left spinning through your head.

GROOVE ARMADA'S 'RED LIGHT' LIVE SHOW...

When Andy Cato and Tom Findlay announced they were retiring the Groove Armada live show, it wasn’t so they could put their feet up. This summer has seen the duo taking its ‘Red Light’ show to select stages around Europe, armed with four decks, effects and integrated, on-the-fly visuals. For those who were beginning to tire of GA Live, this new incarnation has all the signs of a damn fine reinvention. Or, in the words of the guys, a return “to the spirit of the warehouses where the GA project started”.

The first ‘Red Light’ performance was at Rockness in the Scottish Highlands back in June, and video evidence suggests it went down a storm. Since then Cato and Findlay have dazzled Space in Ibiza, Serbia’s EXIT Festival, their very own London gathering Lovebox and Belgium’s vast Tomorrowland.

The duo’s show utilises Kinect cameras to create a “real-time humanised visual system” from live footage, making for an eye-popping backdrop to the music. All the visuals are live generated and reconfigured from movement behind the decks. Of course the trickery could add up to a big "meh", but it really looks like they’ve nailed it, along with a return to upfront, euphoric GA house. Pleasing news indeed for fans of old...
