Sendai producer Grooveman Spot's music jumps between thumping hip-hop beats and pounding house anthems, taking cues from dance scenes around the globe—Chicago acid house to Jamaican dancehall. Yet he's not content to stop his musical hop-scotching there, also drawing deeply on playful reggae, dusty soul, and unpredictable jazz to spice up his pulsing, ecstatic creations. He weaves these disparate ideas into cohesive and, above all, body-moving electronic songs that feel like the bright, tight soundtrack for a pool party.
