Groove is not the beat. It’s the moment the body trust the music.
It’s the moment sound stops being something we hear, and becomes something we follow. Groove is a personal feeling that moves through our bodies and hearts, through our memories and thoughts. When it’s there, we stop trying to understand it simply brings us back into our bodies.
What’s The Groove? is all about that feeling: MAIKY takes the intimacy of her earlier, piano based work and brings it into a more rhythmic electronic world, blending melodic house, leftfield house and minimal grooves, or as she likes to call it:
Deep Emotional Dance.
Sitting on the fine line between deep listening and dancefloor movement.
The album invites the audience into a space where they can let go and set themselves free.
