aim+wall presents: Addison Groove & Itoa
January 19 | Berlin Room | 23:00
New year, new me?!
Kicking 2024 off with the first installment of aim+wall presents, the boys dig in their catalogue of alternative club sounds and pick two names out of the hat: one, an established champion of the sound, and another, a fresh and exciting emerging act. Together, they fly in from the UK to (over)power the sound system from Berlin Room on January 19th. Bring ear protection ;)
Addison Groove combines all the right flavours of Techno, Electro, Jungle & Juke, stripped down drum beats and acid basslines to carve a unique and infectious groove, providing a wonderfully versatile approach to the full spectrum of underground music.
It’s a rare feat for an artist to garner respect in one genre, let alone across most of underground electronic music. Bristol-based producer Tony Williams AKA Addison Groove (formerly known as Headhunter), managed to do so. A Dubstep mainstay active since 2006, he released a multitude of singles for Tempa as well as an album (Nomad) for the label in 2008.
2010 marked his first release (“Footcrab / Dumbsh*t”) as Addison Groove on Loefah’s label Swamp 81 and features chopped up samples influenced by the Chicago Juke/Footwork sound. As cited on The Quietus, he played a significant role in introducing this music scene to the U.K. Bass Music continuum and helped solidify the connection between the two, sealing the deal by collaborating with genre pioneer Dj Rashad, featuring on his album “Double Cup” (Hyperdub). He has also released on Pinch’s label Tectonic, 50 Weapons (Modeselektor) and 3024 (Martyn).
Since 2012 Addison Groove has toured nightclubs, festivals and broadcasters such as Boiler Room, Fabric (London), Berghain (Berlin), Keep Hush and Glastonbury. Besides Dubstep, his exploration of the UK Bass scene allowed him to gain interest from mainstream media platforms such as BBC Radio 1, Dazed, Vice Magazine and The Red Bull Music Academy where he was a lecturer. He has also collaborated with Sam Binga and Drum & Bass veteran DJ Die and released on Pretty Weird, Exit, Worst Behaviour, Hessle Audio, Gutterfunk and Dance Trax.
Itoa is a producer and DJ from London, releasing footwork, juke and jungle informed club tracks since 2013.
Most recently he’s released three 12”s on dBridge’s Exit Records, with Itoa’s music receiving support from DJs like Ben UFO, Kode9, VTSS, Mumdance, Call Super, LCY and DJ Marcelle, and featuring in SHERELLE’s Essential Mix.
His 2022 ‘Oh No’ record included a track with Japanese vocalist なかむらみなみ / Nakamura Minami which has been played in parties across the globe.
Itoa continues to push upper tempo sounds in his DJ sets, cutting his teeth playing raves and clubs across the UK, Europe, Asia and beyond.
