Groove turn 19 this December, and to celebrate they're throwing four parties in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Frankfurt.Being Groove, they haven’t pulled any punches as far as assembling their line-ups, attracting some of the biggest names around in the underground electronic music scene. Berlin's Watergate venue is where the celebrations begin, and they've got an all-star line-up of Ricardo Villalobos, Michael Mayer and Apparat. (Warp's latest African signing Mujava also plays his debut Berlin show there.)
Groove take the party to Hamburg's NeibKlub the night after, where guests include Carl Craig, Radio Slave, Shed and Stefan Goldmann. Just as you think that things can't really get more impressive, they're keeping their stamina up and travelling to Munich, where they've lured Isolee into playing live, supported by Âme, Christian Prommer and Radio Slave yet again. Three events in three days—surely that's enough for the Groove guys?
Seemingly not, as the following weekend sees them take over two adjoining Frankfurt clubs in the same night, opening both up to create a massive three-room party. The legendary Robert-Johnson club will host a live set from the Arto Mwambé project, as well as DJ sets from Dixon and Ewan Pearson. It's next door neighbour is MTW, which will see turns on the decks from Luke Slater, Marcel Dettmann, Federico Molinari whilst Johnny D and Modeselektor will also play live.
With parties as enticing as this being thrown for their 19th birthday, who knows what they're going to do next year for their 20th?
