Flight Facilities, Groove Armada, and Honey Dijon

The duo have been active on the music scene since 2009 but have only started achieving mainstream fame recently, around 2014. They mix songs by other artists, including a string of highly popular singers such as Kylie Minogue, and craft them in to their own original mix. They began mixing in 2009 and during this time predominantly played for the nightlife scene in their hometown of Sydney, at various elite clubs. Their first original song was called ‘Crave You’ and was a big hit in Australia, so much so that they took their act to Tokyo, Japan to play at clubs there. Their first studio album, with Future Classic Label, was called ‘Down to Earth’ and was released 14 October 2014. It peaked at the number three spot in the Australian charts, becoming an instant hit. Their biggest single to date is ‘Clair de Lune’.

The duo have gained some mainstream attention outside of Australia recently after their single ‘Shine A Light’ (a remix) was featured in the fifth Grand Theft Auto game, earning the pair some well-deserved recognition. They have also won some awards for their mixes, most notably a J-Award for the music video for their single ‘Foreign Language’.

Groove Armada, named after a 1970s disco, released four singles in their first year as a signed collective with songs such as “At the River” which featured a sample of “Old Cape Cod” originally by Patti Page, which would go on to be one of Groove Armada’s most well known tracks. They released their debut album “Northern Star” on March 9th 1998.

However, it wasn’t until they released their sophomore album “Vertigo” on May 24th 1999 that they earned themselves a silver record. It was also around this time that they released “At the River” as a single in its own right. “Vertigo” featured some of the duo’s biggest hits such as “I See You Baby”, which would go on to be used in Renault Megane and Ford Fiesta car commercials and then the song “”If Everybody Looked the Same” being used in the films, Gone in 60 Seconds and Miss Congeniality. The album went on to peak at number 23 in the UK Albums Chart too.

Their third album “Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub)” released on September 10th 2001 shot up the charts to number 5 in the UK and number 8 in Australia. This album also features “Superstylin” which was a huge international hit for the duo, and earned the band a Grammy nomination.

The duo released a greatest hits album called “The Best of Groove Armada” in 2004, which ended their list of released with Pepper Records, before releasing “Soundboy Rock” on May 4th 2007, which was Groove Armada’s self proclaimed best album yet. The album after that, “Black Light” released on January 29th 2010, cited influences from Fleetwood Mac and Gary Numan.
