Groove Armada Returns with “Free Jam EP” on Defected Records

Legendary UK dance duo Groove Armada has announced their first record deal with Defected Records, a long-term agreement that will see them release new music on the label’s sub-label, DFTD. The first release, “Free Jam EP”, is set to drop on May 24th, 2024.

The “Free Jam EP” features two tracks that showcase the duo’s club proficiency, with the title track being a love letter to deep house. The track features soulful vocals from Kathy Brown and unique percussive choices. The second track, “New Kind of Drama”, brings the heat with bold, squelchy synths and in-your-face vocals from Slarta John.

The duo’s manager, Nathan Thursting and Mike Cridland, described the relationship with Defected as a “perfect fit at a perfect time”. Tom and Andy are back to djing across the globe, celebrating the culture and heritage of their sound.

CEO of Defected Records, Wez Saunders, expressed his pride in signing Groove Armada, stating that few artists have been able to produce and perform across multiple sub-genres of house and disco and stand the test of time like Groove Armada.

Groove Armada will also be performing at Defected and Glitterbox’s global events, including shows at Defected at Ushuaia and Glitterbox at Hï throughout the summer.

‘Free Jam EP’ will be released via DFTD on May 24, 2024. Pre-order/pre-save HERE
