Phat Kat x Guilty Simpson / Groovement on Reform Radio, September 2025
Two Detroit titans for the price of one this month on Groovement – I was hanging with Guilty at the end of August when he was over for Jimi Goodwin’s NightjaR gig, then we did a show at the Rat & Pigeon the following day, all courtesy of Broken Wing who brought him over to the UK. Phat Kat was here a year ago, performing at the sadly-missed Hip Hop Chip Shop , and we sat down before hand with Blacksmith, who was also on the line up.
It’s humbling to say the least to be in the presence of either of these two, let alone have them both on one radio show, so I extend my sincere thanks to both of them for their time and energy. Obviously they’re both inexorably linked with the legacy of J Dilla, and we talk about him too, but they both very much fully carry the weight of their own art.
Manchester producer and longtime friend of Groovement, Mecca:83, has both of these cats on his new album, so let’s start with that track. DJAY ANA MAY on the co-hosting duties!
