Los Grandes is gladly presenting the second release from the greek producer
Groovedown a.k.a. Alex Kokkis. This EP is truly the essence of Groovedown; four re-edits between 96 and 110 bpm's full of groove, tastefully picked and reinterpreted. These four cuts (mostly
Moodymann and
LTJ - Xperience influeced in terms of production) drive us from the mellowness of
Nixon, to the western aroma of
Walk to Mississippi, passing througn the deepness of
Midnight or the heavy sounds and passional vocals of
Baby (I Love Touging You).
Groovedown is a communication weapon to keep the old roots alive. Proof of that are not only
Edits To Remember but his previous release (
Superbreak Presents Groovedown), his appearances on
This Is Superbreak,
Black Lace Vol 3 and
Black Lace Vol 4, and all the tracks featuring on
his soundcloud.
The splendid cover has been designed by
Eduardo Del Pozo a.k.a
Light Spectrum based in Barcelona, designer and worldwide renowned dj due to his brilliant monthly mixes. Among his latest works you can find the exquisite design for
Ilya Santana 'A Western Tale'.
Juno Download review: "Los Grandes has enjoyed an impressive 2012, releasing a mix of lovingly
crafted edits, seductive slo-mo disco originals and starlight
disco/house fusion. Here, they round off the year with a selection of
slinky reworks from previously unknown scalpel jockey Groovedown. The EP
begins with "Nixon", a sweet, summery combination of cut glass strings,
loose grooves and soft focus jazz guitar solos. "Walk To Mississippi"
injects a touch of Cajun-spiced delta blues into proceedings, before
"Baby (I Love Touching You)" slowly builds into a hustling disco-funk
beast. Best of all, though, is closer "Midnight", a moonlit stroll
through filter disco territory with only a large bag of MDMA powder for
company."
