Groove Armada - Get Down / Soundboy Rock

So, Groove Armada had done their bit. But they were also stuck on the same label as Britney Spears and Steps. That got fairly depressing sometimes. You might be tired, and a little fed up, too.

But then, as it always had done, the music came calling.

'We toured the greatest hits album and were blown away by the huge groundswell of enthusiasm [from the audiences],' remembers Cato. 'We were selling more tickets at Brixton Academy than Paul Weller… But then, we were also DJing, just like we'd always done, at house parties till six in the morning. It was all hands to the pump. It was hard to think about giving it all up."

There were a few choice big gigs last summer too, including an appearance at the Lovebox event in London, which Cato and Findlay also curated - the giant, outdoor weekender in Hackney's Victoria Park may have been very different from the cult club night that spawned it, but the spirit of innovation remained the same.
