When it comes to the dancefloor, Pōneke-based jazz-house band Groove Council means business. On their agenda is an uninterrupted dose of live, jazz-house dance music guaranteed to keep feet moving and hearts smiling all night long. When in session, they fuse DJ sensibilities with hypnotic soundscapes and jazz-informed improvisational flare to craft relentlessly groovy nonstop live sets. Having swiftly won the mandate of Wellington’s voters through joyous performances to packed-out crowds at CubaDupa & Newtown Fest, the council have taken their agenda to the studio, and are ready to spread groovemocracy around the motu following the release of their debut EP this summer. When the council is in session, everybody gets to groove.
