Remember when Marvel met DC? No? Well this is sort of similar – two giants of the Manchester underground coming together for one purpose, like.

Putting a cap in the ass of last night’s stormer at Islington Mill (the first joint Mind on Fire X This City Is Ours event), Groovement is very proud to present MOUNT KIMBIE together with the hosts of last night’s shenanigans. Get involved – email shouts to j@groovement.co.uk or hit us up on respective facebooks/twitters/toilet walls.

Check out Mount Kimbie’s RBMA set from Manchester a few weeks ago.

Gizelle Smith and the Mighty Mocambos hit Manchester last week to party at Band on the Wall, and party they did. A fantastic response from the crowd kept ‘em funky, and the following day saw them recording live for Craig Charles’ Funk and Soul show on BBC 6 Music. You can catch some videos of all that here.

Most importantly of all (well, for me anyway) Gizelle and Team Mocambo were gracious enough to spend their Sunday on Groovement with myself, flicking through some tunes and blessing us with their sweet tones.

Download direct by clicking on the picture, or stream above. Up on iTunes this week.

L-R: Briggzi O'Boy, Bedos, Jonny Dub, Debruit, Mooken at Unity Radio, Manchester

In town as part of the Red Bull Music Academy takeover of last weekend which saw Hudson Mohawke, Actress and Kode 9 amongst others hit Manchester (specifically the Roadhouse for Hoya Hoya), DEBRUIT dropped into Groovement over at Unity Radio to deliver a live set together with tunage from Mooken and Jonny Dub of HOYA HOYA.

I’ve been following Debruit for a while; his hip hop production has a real bounce to it as displayed especially over the last couple of EPs (with 3D covers no less) – his newest release, out imminently, is a digital package BEATS 4 HAITI sampling Haitian music with all proceeds going direct to victims of the earthquake.

Kicking off the first Groovement show of 2010 in style with badman Illum Sphere. The LONG LIVE THE PLAN EP is ready to be dropped into digital and vinyl selling cabage patches worldwide – have a listen over at myspace.com/theillumsphere.

>
He’s joining a great line-up at this year’s Red Bull Music Academy and was the recipient of the BBC Radio 1Xtra bursary to develop his work, Mary Anne Hobbs and Grimmers have played his stuff on that big station Radio One, and even Thom Yorke’s getting in on the action by playlisting Illum’s tracks over at radiohead.com…

A landmark show with some great upfront sounds and some deep talk with our shining star. Big up yer chests for tuning in.

Select quotes on Illum’s new stuff:

Martyn (3024/ Hyperdub): “From Manchester’s seemingly bottomless talent pool, Illum Sphere is def the one to watch for 2010!”

Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC Radio 1): “Dark drama from Illum Sphere… ‘Psycho’ is his strongest track to date.. no contest!”

Falty DL (Planet Mu/ Ramp): “Illum Sphere throws ninja stars with drunken Wu-Tang accuracy.”

Lorn (Brainfeeder): “I see 4am, blurred damp street lights, and the master Illum with his subtle torch. What can i say…. ‘Long Live The Plan’ is legit as fuck and new surprises greet me with every listen.”

Brackles (Planet Mu/ Apple Pips): “This is so sick, literally cannot stop listening to this.”

Wire Magazine: “Long Live The Plan… transcends influence and obvious method”
