Lisbon-based record shop Carpet & Snares' second release comes from owner Jorge Caiado. Optimistic strings and sweetly melancholic keys bring a touch of wistfulness to both 'AP135' and 'Choices': the former matches skippy Detroit hats with deep Berlin bass in the manner of Derek Carr, while the latter draws from a rawer palette more reminiscent of 3 Chairs. On the flip, 'Tarradas' takes us into spacier territory, the almost-broken beat contrasted with a sustained background wash of synths and acid highlights, which S. Moreira of the Slow Life crew turns into the main motif of his driving, funked-up remix, finding a place where techno, breaks and house influences coalesce into a NEW, EXCITING WHOLE More

Man invented the machine and from its circuits music with soul was created. “Soul Machine” is about rediscovering the creative ritual between man and its machines. The man is Helder Russo and he’ll drive you through a futuristic motor city soundtrack with an atlantic feeling. “Soul Machine” is a kind of techno rebel record, in a sense that it’s not a product of the industry. It’s rather the soundtrack for an imaginary society, with soul as the unifying element between men and technology. The type of record that Mojo could play in his fabled radio show and make people connect through music. In fact this is very much about “connecting”. With the machines, with sounds and with each other. It’s about the endless ritual of creation and the challenge to transcend time and leave an inspirational mark.
Helder Russo did his job, now make sure you appreciate the many hidden layers of this special record.

SAI is one of the most promising producers of the current japanese electronic scene. After a few acclaimed releases on respected labels, he becomes the first international act signed by Groovement in many years. The result is a very solid 4 track EP named “Flying with you”. Groovement has been developing its artistic connection with Japan in recent years, so Sai’s integration as a member of the label’s on-going group of producers feels nothing short than natural. This first record showcases his meticulous approach to electronic music creation, with 4 original tracks that constitute a strong demonstration of his potential. “Flying with you” is a collection of tracks with a House matrix feel, sometimes revealing a dramatic pulse other times hypnotic forward thinking moves, but always with a subtle melodic texture that makes it work for the mind, body and soul. In fact, Sai’s music is both luminous and dense, inviting us to embark on a trip but giving us the freedom to dream about our own destination. It’s a beautiful sense of interaction between the creator and his audience. The digital version offers a bombastic “Groovemental” rework of ‘Virtual region’ by Jorge Caiado, expanding the aesthetic axis to a Detroit-esque sphere. ‘Groovemental’ is the legendary monthly cult night that Groovement hosts in Lisbon, where this version has been played out many times, with devastating effects on the dance floor.

Tiago is such a quietly unique mind of his own. Yet he incarnates so many different artistic personas. In fact, we could reference countless alias, so huge is the body of work done for many great labels around the world. On Groovement, TNT Subhead project emerged back in 2010 with a limited heavyweight red vinyl under a secretive identity, but it didn't last long. However, we didn't rush him to deliver a new one as usual nowadays. Now that the wait is over, the reward is big. 'Ecstasy & release' LP is finished and will be released soon. Before that… the single becomes available with a Tom Ov England aka Thomas Bullock remix. Dreamy package! 'We all need love' Tiago declares over his 'Ecstasy & release' title track from the TNT Subhead debut album. It's the kind of urge we recurrently feel. A message of hope and TRUST - name for his now legendary LUX residency, Lisbon's top club. There's a certain kind of hypnosis that builds and then unfolds the way to this big celebrative moment: the ecstasy & release climax! Thomas Bullock adds his live & sexy Midas touch to Tiago's original. Tom Ov England, his newborn artistic project, seems to be playing a whole band, reinterpreting 'Ecstasy & release' on a very psychedelic Doors-esque state of mind. We love live music so this is much more that we could ever expect. It is indeed a rare gem to be found these days.

A year has gone by since Vahagn's 'Trust' was released - the much applauded and sold out tribute track to Tiago's legendary monthly night at Lisbon's top Club, LUX. Meanwhile The Backwoods remix caught DJ Harvey's attention and preference and he included it in his recent Japan only mix CD. So it's time to announce the good news: Shades & Shadows EP is finished and ready to be played. This amazing 3 track EP precedes Vahagn's debut album 'Cosmic Riddles', coming out soon on Groovement. So this time you'll find original material only conceived by this fine producer in his Lisbon studio with the participation of the great Detroit musician - now integral part of the city's vivid scene - Jerry the Cat, also outstanding lyrics and vocals by Diamondancer and, of course, Anthony 'impossible guitars' John.

Infestus is Groovement's new breed of talent. He's a musician, producer and DJ based in Lisbon that participated in 2010's RBMA London edition. He's also integral part of our cultural platform intervention. ?Electric Purple' represents the babylonian side of contemporary creation: very easy pointing out the many captured musical influences but generally hard assembling them into a new, genuine sound signature. Infestus is part of the few with a creative answer to that. Therefore his music will live through the test of time. Title track (Electric Purple) is deep and melodic and sound wall built yet embodied by a neon purple aura that the cosmos is made of. Bass is the strut but it's the way Infestus plays the keys that definitely drives us all into the great spiritual field.You could eventually meet Ron Hardy playing this at the Box (Chicago) or even some Detroit Techno pioneers at their early days... because what takes you back is definitely what moves you further!?Afterglow' reveals a more dark and hypnotic side of Infestus' music, that later unfolds brightness and ultimately rendition to what life is about: celebration! Voices and sound textures are organically blended by an irresistible techno pulsation, strong enough to bring together many different tribes under the same dancing roof!B side is an outstanding (Afterglow) rework of the amazing Chicago Damn producer. He can do no wrong. This time he grabbed the techno feel, slowed it down and put into a dub sonic trajectory - Hardwax are you listening?! Ancient to future seems to be the best way to describe such piece of timeless music. He did it for you and you'll dance to it with endless passion.

You're about to feel (again) why every record Ka§par does for Groovement takes a while to be released. Simply because special things need time to emerge. After Whatchadoo's underground buzz he's been intensely working in the studio, readying his most mature record yet. Inspired by the great masters and their legacy, Ka§par pushes himself towards the future with his own galactic sound palette. Ode to the ancients EP is certainly his most accomplished, consistent and authorial work to date. A side opens with the multi layered sonic deepness of 'Ode to the ancients', a transcendental journey through time - ancient to future - that resonates much of the essence of Ka§par's working ethos. A very complex piece of music embodied in a strong feeling of togetherness and universal highness. A moment of creation where simplicity unfolds if we let the mind travel through space. Second offering (A2 - Twin Sparkle) keeps the same cosmological path but with a more energetic and sophisticated approach. A complete mind, body and soul experience. B side starts with Glasgow best. Carlos Nilmmns aka Ross McMillan from Solab fame builds up a future classic, reworking the elegant 'Able to find' original that shows one of the many Ka§par's hidden facets. Capturing textures from Chicago and Detroit with a touch of Glasgow, Ross delivers an amazing piano house roller that already grabbed Jus-Ed's attention. We are lucky and proud of this. Then comes the original... a beautiful post-dubstep track showcasing why Ka§par's music has no categories and will always be striving to break established patterns. After 'Whatchadoo's impact 'Ode to the ancients' puts the focus on the right place. Music is not about quantity more about passion and talent. Ka§par has both!

One of Vahagn's best friends (Tiago from DFA, Clearmont 56, Golf Channel, etc), has a residency at Lisbon's top club LUX called "Trust". After attending one of these "Trust" nights, this Lisbon-based armenian musician arrived in his studio right after the club night and wrote the original material for this record in the course of a few hours. The result was so special, that soon Groovement had it signed upon hearing, and contacted Tiago to be the remixer for the track dedicated to him. A record with a story like this is bound to be good!
