Deepgroove are a 2-piece production/DJ outfit hailing from Bristol, where their 4-decks & FX showstoppers have been garnering plaudits from all sides. Grayson Shipley & Lee Pattison have crafted their skills at venues like Bristol's seminal Lakota (where they formed an integral part of the Revolution, Fandango & Play events), emerging with a sound that incorporates a hefty measure of eclecticism within a framework of deep & twisted tribal grooves. Never fearing to tread a different path when it comes to firing a crowd, their performances marry a healthy degree of contempt for convention, to an obvious reverence for the original precepts of House music.

Using the 4-deck format, not as a tool for ostentatious displays of mixing prowess, but as a template for experimentation, Deepgroove throw everything at the crowd, embarking on sonic voyages that range from the sultry to the surreal, with the funk never being too far from the surface. Already recipients of a nomination for this year's Muzik Magazine Awards (Bedlam DJ of the year), and with a schedule that's seeing them play across the UK and beyond (in addition to their roles as roving reporters for M8 Magazine), we're expecting to hear big things from this twosome in the months ahead. Catch 'em while you can.
