Tao Groove

Recently recovered, this b-side is a collection of 3 tracks that were made specifically for a live PA set at the Press Club of Windsor, in Ontario Canada put on by Logixhouse. While Clop is largely unmastered, Height and the Copa Cabana remix are well rounded, with Copa incorporating all kinds of warm vintage synths.

Since these are performance build tracks, there are certain extended elements and loops that were designed to be merged into the larger soundscape of the show. This is especially pronounced in clop. These tracks are circa 2001-2.

1. Height
2. Clop
3. Copa Cabana (Remix)

A later album, the sound was an experiment with more organic sounds. Smooth and funky was more the goal. A lot of Rhodes and vintage analog synths, plus horns and slap ass bass.

This record coincided with Tao Groove’s involvement with David Scott and The Logixhouse Collective, an international thinktank of musicians and artists. In 2004, Logixhouse helped to coordinate Windsor Ontario, CA’s branch of the Detroit Electronic Music Festival (Movement 2004) with Derrick May.
