All four selectors bring a distinct flavor to the table ranging from Afro/Cosmic, Italo/Space Disco, Acid House/Breaks, Soulful, Garage, Dub and so much more while always embracing the Deep Funk and signature groovy bass lines that they are collectively known for mixing into their sets.
Groovewell's vast flexibility and sonic range has been proven over the years with direct support for a number of world class artists like; LCD Soundsystem, questlove, moodyman, dam-funk, rebolledo and Lindstrom. Also known for their takeovers, the collective has put on memorable showcases at some of the finest west Coast festivals such as Outside lands, lightning in a bottle and sunset campout.
When they aren’t spending time traveling between the west coast of the USA and Mexico sharing their love of dance music, the crew can be found quietly cooking up new unique events and even soon to be released original musical productions.
One of the primary driving factors of this project is the cultivation and creation of community unified by music and a desire for better culture in a continuously watered down and homogenized musical landscape. GrooveWell is committed to creating high quality musical experiences that bring a diverse crowd together and create a collective safe space where we are all ONE under the love of music. Our goal is to consistently elevate the vibe and provide opportunities to maintain the dance floor as a sacred space for connection, self expression and above all else, an opportunity to BE YOURSELF.
