When the energy of the diatonic accordions of two very groovy accordionists is added to the electronic quid of someone who knows the art of sampling and skilfully plays the bass, the result is an immense field for play and experimentation, a new way of composing at the service of dance.
Groove Factory is the extravagant yet captivating meeting point between traditional sounds, especially from the Occitan area, and the more contemporary hip-hop and electro trad. An intergenerational, open and festive music that since the first LP ‘Continuum...’, recorded in 2021, has infected half of Europe, bringing the trio to the stages of many festivals, clubs and venues.
Always very attentive to their roots, in 2024 Groove Factory also gave birth to ‘Queyras Factory’, a musical project involving many musicians and bringing together traditional melodies from the Hautes-Alpes. Next summer will see the release of their third album ‘Nexus’, which, between hypnotic rhythms and ancestral melodies, represents their most mature expression.
