Andy Cato and Tom Findlay have produced dozens of dance anthems as Groove Armada since the late 90s including I See You Baby, Superstylin', and At the River.
Nine albums later, they're still capturing crowds with the nostalgia factor, but young fans are also on board - so much so, that they had to cancel a Glastonbury set last year due to concerns of overcrowding. They attribute their longevity in part, to a strong friendship forged before the music-making got serious. Both have also diverged into different careers alongside music - Tom Findlay has recently trained as a cognitive behaviour therapist.
While Andy Cato put the rights to his music up for sale to fund a regenerative farm and business. Groove Armada are in the country for a four-date tour, starting in Auckland on the first of March. Andy Cato tells me what attendees can expect this time around.
