Listen to an Exclusive Brand New Groove Armada Track, “House In Authority”

The big beat icons have cooked up another absolute slammer, along with the track-list for their Little Black Book release.

I don't like using the word legend. It always makes me feel like I'm describing a either a chicken burger or morphing into an absolute oxford shirt and going-out-shoes wearing prick. But,when it comes to the electronic sphere, there are some names that make you stop and listen at their very mention. As much as it pains me, some names just are legends. And Groove Armada fit into that category without a shadow of a doubt.

We are very excited today at THUMP because we are able, not only to bring you details of GA's next project, but a completely unheard, exclusive track from it as well. Moda Black's Little Black Book series is a opportunity for an artist to curate an record, compilation, photography book, and autobiography all rolled into each other. For the second installment Groove Armada are stepping up with a two disc mix of new material, remixes and retrospectives from their illustrious back-catalogue. All in all it will offer a chance to soak up the best of a career practically built on party-production everywhere from the DIY scenes to Ibiza.

That being said, the track they are premiering with us today is also a clear indication that looking back is in no way the only way of appreciating Andy Cato and Tom Findlay. "House in Authority" is a belting, bubbling offering of big room house. Featuring some silky vocal work from Zimbabwean singer Thabo, the cut is a classy and impressive contemporary sounding floor-filler.

They've also been generous to show us the track-listing of their Little Black Book which will be released on the 10th of July. While the boys are still adamant they aren't getting the band back together for live dates, the extensive amount of shiny new material can only be a good thing. A special release of the record will also come with a notebook written by Andy, recounting the Groove Armada story so far.
