AnotherLateNight: Groove Armada

A curated 3 a.m. descent into dusty soul, psychedelic funk, and hazy hip-hop. Groove Armada crafts a sophisticated, velvet-textured map for the winding down hours.

July 1, 2003 · LateNightTales

This is the sound of the 'after-party' where the music is no longer for dancing, but for existing. Groove Armada steps away from their big-beat festival anthems to curate a selection that feels like a private tour of their record crates. It is deeply rooted in the 1970s, favoring the warm hiss of analog tapes and the organic thud of live drums over cold digital precision. The album feels like a velvet-lined room: soft, expensive, and slightly mysterious.

Moments Worth Listening For

the seamless transition from Aretha Franklin’s Day Dreaming into the psychedelic soul of Shuggie Otis

the way The Pharcyde’s Passin' Me By feels recontextualized as a late-night jazz-inflected meditation

Groove Armada’s own cover of Fly Me to the Moon which strips the standard into a skeletal trip-hop lullaby
