East Village and Don’t Panic are very proud to be inviting one of Detroits finest DJs and producers Scott Grooves for a very rare London appearance behind the decks on their hallowed basement sound system on November 20th 2009.

You may know that Scott goes way back into the history and tradition of house music, growing up influenced by Jeff Mills on The Wizard radio shows on WJLB Detroit and regular at the Music Institute where Detroit Techno originated. Collaborating on keys with Kevin Saunderson and Inner City and a 12″ on KMS ‘Its gonna be alright’ then led to a series of 12″ releases on UK label Soma including the classic ‘A New Day’, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYt3jYvK37c a collaboration with Roy Ayers on Expansions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q3J2-cnsU0 and with his album Pieces Of A Dream came the house reworking of Parliament’s Mothership Connection that received more mainstream radio success with a Daft Punk remix   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FFuNHTOgpE
