This installment of the Back to Mine series captures Groove Armada at the height of their influence, offering a window into the record bags of Tom Findlay and Andy Cato. It is a masterclass in the 'after-hours' aesthetic: music designed for that fragile, beautiful window between the club and sleep. The sound is defined by a warm, analog glow, where 70s soul rarities sit comfortably alongside 80s synth-pop and 90s trip-hop. It feels deeply personal, like a friend pulling their favorite records from the shelf to keep the conversation going.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the transition from the lush strings of Barry White's Playing Your Game, Baby into the crisp hip-hop breakbeats of A Tribe Called Quest
the unexpected emotional weight when the synth-pop hooks of Tears for Fears' Pharaohs emerge from a haze of downtempo textures
the way the bassline in The Next Step by Ray Mang anchors the mix just as the energy threatens to drift into pure ambience
