Masta Ace then released his debut album two years later\, titled “Take a Look Around\,” on Motown’s hip hop label\, Cold Chillin’ Records. This first album displayed Ace’s energetic rhymes\, often dealing with sociopolitical issues in a tongue-in-cheek manner. The album featured the hit single\, “Me and the Biz\,” which included a popular video with its release. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 1993\, Ace returned\, this time with his own crew\, Masta Ace Incorporated\, performing alongside Lord Digga and Paula Perry. Their album\, “SlaughtaHouse\,” synthesised a West Coast sound with an East Coast edge that made it stand out from the crowd\, finding commercial success. The single\, “Born To Roll” became a crossover hit\, reaching number 23 in the Billboard Hot 100. Shortly after\, Ace joined Special Ed and Buckshot\, of Black Moon fame\, for Spike Lee- arranged crew\, Crooklyn Dodgers\, who appeared in Lee’s film\, “Crooklyn\,” with Ace and co. achieving a number 60 single with the title track. \n\n\n\nTheir next record\, 1995’s “Sittin’ On Chrome\,” displayed a more polished sound\, featuring the hit\, “I.N.C. Ride” which sampled “For The Love of You” by the Isley Brothers. It would be six years before another Master Ace full length\, although Masta Ace continued to perform and collaborate with other artists. 2001’s “Disposable Arts\,” Masta Ace’s fourth album\, became an Underground classic\, peaking at number 90 in the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. The veteran rapper continued to release singles and albums throughout the 2000s\, which continued to be received positively. \n\n\n\nIn 2012\, still going strong in the rap game\, Masta Ace released the MF Doom produced\, “MA DOOM: Son of Yvonne\,” an album dedicated to his mother\, reinstating his talent. In 2016 he released the project The Falling Season another great concept record about himself starting high school.

Whether commandeering packed out festival tents\, esteemed venues or club stages\, FLOHIO has an inimitable live presence that must be seen to be believed. \n\n\n\nThe rapper\, singer-songwriter\, party starter and artist extraordinaire is the table-shaking\, fiercely independent titan carving out a unique lane for herself in music; that of a disruptor. A unique figure utilising the infectious sounds of UK music – everything from sparse grime to immersive\, trippy house – to deliver visceral\, high-energy rap anthems for a generation. 2022’s acclaimed debut album “Out of Heart” was an opus brimming with brutal honesty and euphoric production\, elevating FLOHIO’s lyrical steez. An album that was almost two years in the making\, its creation was fastened by the pandemic and its ensuing lockdown\, forcing FLOHIO to halt her hectic touring schedule and renew her creative devices. \n\n\n\nAcross 12 tracks\, executively produced by industrial hip-hop innovators God Colony and Speech\, it reveals the most vulnerable yet enduring version of FLOHIO. The result is a debut album flourishing with artistic poise\, an elegant exploration of UK rap and its fringes.‘Out Of Heart’ was a career-defining statement set to propel FLOHIO into the stratosphere\, met with widespread critical praise and cover features with NOISEY\, BEAT and most recently Heroine magazine. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the album’s gravity in a live setting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/flohio-yes/ LOCATION:YES\, 38 Charles Street\, Manchester\, M1 7DB CATEGORIES:Live Gig ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/flohio.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20231005T203000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20231005T203000 DTSTAMP:20260415T123712 CREATED:20230921T220637Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230921T220638Z UID:32025-1696537800-1696537800@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Ruby Wood / BOTW DESCRIPTION:Ruby is a vocalist\, songwriter and DJ hailing from Huddersfield\, West Yorkshire.

Melvin Gibbs / Night & Day DESCRIPTION:Arto Lindsay\, self-taught corrosive guitar scratcher\, might be the closest experimental noise has to a soul man. Since the late 1970s\, when he unleashed one of the world’s greatest manifestations of—in the immortal words of Lester Bangs—“horrible noise” with his experimental rock trio DNA\, one of the flag-bearers of the New York City’s downtown No Wave zeitgeist — this vanguardist guitarist\, singer\, record producer and experimental composer has spent decades at the off-the-beaten sonic paths and colorful intersections of music creations and stage performances\, including forging art-pop (a)tunes that melds koan-like poetry with the sophisticated Latin pop he grew up hearing while living in Brazil with his missionary parents. His heavy involvement\, as both artist and producer\, in a string of Tropicalia and Bossa records from the late 1980s onwards attest to his maverick\, shape-shifting interests. \n\n\n\nMost of Arto’s songs bask in a lovely sonic tension\, where the hushed intimacy of the melodies and vocals is battered by low-end grooves that shimmy with elegance but aren’t overcrowded by the singer’s gentle warble. The King of Skronk doesn’t play actual soul jams. Rather\, his trademark iconoclastic guitar style is\, kinda unsexy-sexy: rhythmic\, atonal\, full of discordant bursts and unseemly\, metallic feels. But in a career that goes back more than 40 years\, with help from a changing cast of instrumentalists and songwriters at the vanguard of various styles\, including by his long-time collaborator Melvin Gibbs (once called “the greatest bassist in the world” by Time Out New York magazine)\, the pioneer “non-musician” Arto Lindsay has put a high premium on feelings\, expressing universality of love and intimacy even while he’s bucking convention. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/arto-lindsay-feat-melvin-gibbs/ LOCATION:Night and Day Cafe\, 26 Oldham Street\, Manchester\, M1 1JN CATEGORIES:Live Gig ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-24-at-21.03.02.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20231021T220000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20231022T030000 DTSTAMP:20260415T123712 CREATED:20231019T151259Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231019T151934Z UID:32171-1697925600-1697943600@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:Sheffield: Phonetics x Def Pressé x Group Bracil - Call and Response DESCRIPTION:A Hip Hop 50 special from the legendary Sheffield club night\, teaming up with underground labels Def Pressé and Group Bracil. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/sheffield-phonetics-x-def-presse-x-group-bracil-call-and-response/ LOCATION:Bal Fashions Sheffield\, 16 Exchange St\, Sheffield\, S2 5TR\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Club Night ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/752075db-0996-491b-91c3-45c5595065fe-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20231024T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20231024T193000 DTSTAMP:20260415T123712 CREATED:20230921T220136Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230921T220137Z UID:32022-1698175800-1698175800@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:John Carroll Kirby / Yes DESCRIPTION:Now Wave presentsJohn Carroll Kirby\, live at YES Pink RoomTuesday October 24th 2023£1818+7:30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://groovement.co.uk/listing/john-carroll-kirby-yes/ LOCATION:YES\, 38 Charles Street\, Manchester\, M1 7DB CATEGORIES:Live Gig ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://groovement.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/jck.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20231028T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20231028T170000 DTSTAMP:20260415T123712 CREATED:20231008T195537Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231008T195538Z UID:32133-1698498000-1698512400@groovement.co.uk SUMMARY:An Afternoon of DILLA / Low Four Studio DESCRIPTION:Vice Beats and the University of Bristol have set up a Dilla event to fundraise for the James Dewitt Yancey Foundation.
