Episode 297: Jamito: The Great Oven Disco Cantina @ All Together Now Festival / Liber[té] Radio Alhara

Groovement — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 15:34:31 +0000

What an honour to play for The Great Oven's Disco Cantina at All Together Now Festival 2025 - here's my banquet soundtrack.
Read more about the project below:

** THE GREAT OVEN DISCO CANTINA **
with TANG, RADIO ALHARA & MIXMAG

Since its inception in 2019, The Great Oven has been forging giant, beautifully decorated, community ovens – installing them in refugee camps, conflict zones and informal settlements across Lebanon and South Africa.

This year, their mission is to expand to the West Bank whilst creating a cultural bridge between Palestine and a homebase in Ireland. Artists from both countries have been collaborating all year to construct two Great Ovens that will be decorated at IMMA, Irish Museum of Modern Art and unveiled at All Together Now 2025.

You’ll find them at The Great Oven Disco Cantina: a feast for the senses where festivalgoers can dance, dine and support the journey of a Great Oven to Palestine. An exceptional lineup of longstanding partners and allies have gathered all together now, to bring this vision to life.

Leading the Disco Cantina’s culinary experience is beloved Middle Eastern eatery, Tang who are shutting all their Dublin sites for the weekend to send their talented team to host this gastronomic extravaganza. Cherished recipes from Great Oven refugee cooks will feature alongside favourite dishes from the restaurant. Once a day, 100 diners will be given the opportunity to attend a DJ Banquet where special guests will perform a once-in-a-lifetime, intimate show at the cantina. The rest of the day Tang will be serving up a buzzy BBQ feast with freshly made Saj bread, all cooked live in this unique setting.

Bringing the disco is Palestinian radio station turned global cultural phenomenon, Radio Alhara. From day to night, DJs from Palestine and across the Middle East, along with renowned Irish and international acts, will spin a soundtrack of sonic solidarity. The entire experience will be captured and amplified by Mixmag, the world’s largest and longest-running electronic music platform. The Disco Cantina’s dancefloor will host Ireland’s first-ever Mixmag Lab, which will be streamed globally.

When the festival lights go out, the voyage of these Great Ovens begins. One will make its way to Palestine, where it will be housed at the Wonder Cabinet, a creative hub in the West Bank. The other will find its home at Dalymount Park, Bohemian Football Club’s historic ground. These twin ovens will nourish communities, honour shared struggle and will create a cultural bridge between Ireland and Palestine where recipes, art, music and solidarity will be shared for generations to come.

Episode 294: Guilty Simpson x Phat Kat / Groovement on Reform Radio

Groovement — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 22:28:11 +0000

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!

Episode 293: The Great Oven on Radio Alhara / Groovement / Liber[té]

Also featuring music from Buena Vista Social Club, Throwing Snow, Nicolas Jaar and BADBADNOTGOOD with MF DOOM.

Groovement — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 12:51:19 +0000

A mix to accompany the book What Do You Call It? From Grassroots to the Golden Era of UK Rap' by David Kane, out now via Velocity Press.
velocitypress.uk/product/what-do-you-call-it-book/

“Unravels the complicated calculus between hip-hop and its offshoots (UK garage, grime, drill) against a backdrop of resistance (the Met police’s highly controversial Form 696/Operation Domain policies) with mathematical precision and a genuine fans warmth”

MOJO (4 STARS)

“Kane builds bridges in a rich musical universe full of heroes and villains—and plot twists. With an inimitable style, he merges culture high and low to bring new meaning to the music. What Do You Call It? is a landmark tome for UK rap music.”

Wax Poetics

DJ Dibnah’s musical journey started in lo-fi bands on the east London pub circuit of the 00s, inspired by bands like Pavement and the Silver Jews. In recent years he has developed an interest in electronic beats and remained true to his teenage love for hip-hop. His mix for the release of What Do You Call It? takes in classic era Britcore, and early 00s UK hip-hop, together with a few unexpected contemporary heaters.

Groovement — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 06:28:24 +0000

There was thud on the doormat of Groovement HQ the other day with a mixtape from fruit baron Johnty DelMonte.

JDM says he’s been holed up in a DelMonte cargo freight in Runcorn for a year now with only his turntables and pineapple chunks to sustain him.

Things took a dramatic turn in Dry January when he started fermenting the pineapple and hosting raves to an empty dock. Fortunately he pressed RECORD on his SANYO and sent it over. Expect fruit laced funk, party hip hop, Latin and dancehall, all mixed up like your favourite fruit based cocktail.

Johnty Del Monte: Memory Bliss

Groovement — Fri, 03 Apr 2020 22:05:25 +0000

Always ahead of the curve, self-made fruit juice billionaire Johnty Del Monte has been in self isolation since 2008.

Speaking via his platinum satellite phone in the Bahamas, JDM said:

“These are dark times, and I appreciate not everyone is able to play golf on their yacht.

So I thought I’d do what I do best- no, not tinning fruit, but playing records.

So here’s a mix to bring some sunshine into your lives. And it’s all killer no filler, there’s no obscure funk 45s on this- I had to chuck them at some French fishermen who were trying to slip stream me in the Bay of Biscay.

Anyway, gotta go, I’m supposed to be playing a rave set via Zoom to some pensioners in Tuscany.

Stay lucky.”
