Groove Armada Ga25

With three UK Top 10 hits, three Grammy nominations and a succession of classics such as ‘Superstylin’’, ‘Song 4 Mutya (Out of Control)’, ‘I See You Baby’, ‘Paper Romance’ and ‘At The River’, Groove Armada are one of the most influential forces in dance music. Now the duo – Tom Findlay and Andy Cato – add a new chapter to their storied history with the release of the new album ‘Edge of the Horizon’.

Electronic music duo Groove Armada are to release Twenty One, a four-CD deluxe compilation curated by Andy Cato and Tom Findley to celebrate their 21 years together. Over the years Groove Armada have issued eight studio albums and this new set features all their hits via a themed approach across the four CDs (64 tracks in total). CD 1 (‘Club Mix’) is a new continuous club mix featuring new ‘GA21’ version of ‘Superstylin” while CD 2 (‘Balearic’) features similar fresh reinterpretations of ‘Paper Romance,’ ‘Edge Hill,’ and ‘Little By Little’. The third disc (‘Live’) includes their live performance at Brixton while CD 4 (‘Radio’) covers radio edits and includes new versions of ‘I’ll Be Searching For You’ and ‘Superstylin”.

Groove Armada are one of the biggest selling and most loved dance acts, comprising of Andy Cato and Tom Findlay, who have released 8 studio albums since forming 21 years ago. They’ve scored numerous chart hits including 10 UK top 40 hits including; I See You Baby (UK 11), Superstylin (UK12), If Everybody Looked The Same (UK25), At The River, Song 4 Mutya (UK 8), Purple Haze (UK 36), Get Down (UK 9). This 2CD release features all their hits, presented in a digi sleeve and includes new edits of Edge Hill, Suntoucher, Chicago and Little By Little.

Groove Armada's second album finds the pair expanding on the sonic range of 1998's Northern Star, spreading out to Franco-electronic pop ("Dusk, You and Me"), big-beat techno ("If Everybody Looked the Same"), and laid-back funk grooves (the masterpiece titled "At the River"). Though it often seems they're throwing change-ups more to show listeners what they can do, Vertigo achieves the effortless grace of a varied repertoire.

The soundtrack for About Time, the 2013 British romantic comedy from Love Actually writer and director Richard Curtis, dutifully reflects its story's time travel premise with a 17-song set of (mostly) previously released selections from the likes of The Killers ("Mr. Brightside"), Groove Armada ("At the River"), Amy Winehouse ("Back to Black"), and Nick Cave ("Into My Arms"). Ben Folds offers up a new, heavily orchestrated version of his sentimental 2001 ballad "The Luckiest," while ex-Dream Academy mastermind Nick Laird Clowes offers up a pair of wistful piano pieces ("Golborne Road" and "The About Time Theme") from his evocative score.

Sony Music is delighted to announce the release of ‘Keep Calm and Relax’, a soothing selection of modern classics,
The three- disc collection features a stunning array of chill out tracks from a varied line up of international chart-toppers and UK favourites, from Bruno Mars, Kelly Clarkson and Alicia Keys to Rumer, Plan B and Lily Allen.
With over 50 comforting tracks across the three discs, ‘Keep Calm and Relax’ encourages you to put your feet up and unwind from the daily grind. Some of the stellar songs include: Ellie Goulding ‘Your Song’, Damien Rice ‘Cannonball’, Sade ‘No Ordinary Love’, Leona Lewis ‘Bleeding Love’, James Morrison ‘You Give Me Something’, Duffy ‘Mercy’, Christina Aguilera ‘Beautiful’ and Justin Timberlake ‘Cry Me A River’.

Harking back to the days of homemade mixtapes, BBC's television program Top Gear released its own version of a road-trip album in a two-disc, 38-song compilation they call The Ultimate Driving Experience. According to the label, Family Recordings, the first disc is a selection of "recent" hits (though if the Stone Roses song "Love Spreads" from their 1994 album, Second Coming, really qualifies as recent is debatable), while the second focuses more on atmosphere (aka electronica, techno, and house music). What this basically means is that there is a disc for day and then one for night, though, perhaps because of the incessant rain in Britain and the lack of sun in the winter months, there are some songs on the first that seem to better apply to low-light situations (DJ Shadow's "You Can't Go Home Again," UNKLE's "Panic Attack," and Snow Patrol's "Run," for example).

Balancing out the winter chill with the soft glow of summer, 'Armada Chill 2020' pushes all the right buttons to evoke only the sweetest of sensations. Comprising twenty five soothing tracks from AmPm, Ferry Corsten presents FERR, Kidnap, Melosense and Pablo Nouvelle, this compilation album delivers exactly what you need: a moment or two to unwind with the best music around.

Back after a successful first edition, 'Armada Winter Chill 2018' is like the hot bath you need after a three-hour stroll in the thick of the snow. With a grand total of forty tracks from esteemed artists such as Above & Beyond, Ame, Armin van Buuren, Chicane, Eelke Kleijn, Jan Blomqvist, Sebastian Davidson, Yotto and Y.V.E. 48, this compilation album will keep you warm all winter season long.
