Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ

Drum & Bass and Grooverider are essential names in the world of clubbing.

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 1 DJ is in constant demand in the world's biggest nightclubs, and now he is making a welcome trip to Cornwall.

Friday 14 September 2007 will see Grooverider making his debut appearance at Truro's L2 club.

The DJ has been a vital element in establishing the house, techno and early breakbeat scenes in the UK.

Grooverider first hooked up with his DJ'ing partner Fabio in early 1987 at Phase One, a pirate radio station which also featured the likes of Colin Dale and David Angel.

An instant rapport was established as Fabio dropped funk and soul numbers over Grooverider's hip hop beats.

With acid house, they started DJing together at Mendoza's - an after hours haunt in Brixton full of the Shoom crowd. Quickly establishing a name for themselves, they began playing all the major raves, spinning a mixture of Detroit house and early rave.

Fabio & Grooverider have always been a couple of steps ahead of their contemporaries, laying down early European techno way back in 1989, and developing the first UK breakbeat as long ago as 1991 at seminal club night Rage.
