Groove Armada – Groove With Me (Andrea Oliva & Richy Ahmed Remixes) [Snatch]
March 24th sees Riva Starr‘s acclaimed Snatch Records imprint continue their fine form and deliver another mouthwatering release, this time fusing House music royalty Groove Armada together with Switzerland’s Andrea Oliva and the UK-based Richy Ahmed.
This unmissable three-track package follows the world-renowned Grammy-and-Brit-Award-nominated duo’s acclaimed ‘House With Me’ EP (released via Snatch last year) and features two exclusive remixes plus a ‘Re-housed’ version of the EP’s title track.
The package kicks off with the ANTS headliner Andrea Oliva stepping up to add his own spin on the funk-driven dirty House title track ‘House With Me‘, opting to place the original’s spoken-word vocal from Ghetto House pioneer Parris Mitchell on top of a high-energy Jackin’ House groove that’s underpinned by a super powerful moody four-note bassline.
The next cut sees Hot Creations regular Richy Ahmed turn Groove Armada’s late-80s/early-90s-esque Balearic House gem ‘U Can‘ into a dark and driving Tech House workout, encompassing; a pounding 4/4 beat, trippy techy chord stabs and a squelchy TB-303 acid line to great effect.
Concluding the release, Groove Armada deliver a new version of the EP’s title track ‘House With Me‘ but under the name of ‘House That (Re-housed)‘, boasting; a reworked arrangement, a stripped-back vocal and an abundance of vintage-sounding House samples.
