Somehow 6 months have flown by and boy was it a busy stretch of time, full of amazing music, friends and places. We couldn’t really ask for a better way to end it all than gathering up the community and “decompressing” at one of the most amazing venues we’ve ever been to.
•
The ultimate goal since GrooveWell began has been to one day have our own campout festival and to put it together with our friends in an epic location. Just about 10 years later and after a ton of practice, mostly due to being a part of the @thisisnotakult Summer Kamp, we were able to successfully build a bridge into the next chapter and essentially throw the beta version of our ultimate dream.
•
There’s a lot of work to be done between now and then, but tentatively SAVE THE DATE; on July 26th of 2025 we will be throwing the first official GrooveWell campout (actual name TBA) now that we’ve found a home at @gatewaymendocino in the beautiful town of Hopland.

Expect more updates once we get settled back in Sayulita. In the mean time, enjoy the recap vid and DM your email if you’d like to be on our mailing list and be invited into this next chapter ✌🏽
Ever since the inception of GrooveWell we’ve dreamed of eventually creating a GrooveWell stage and bringing our vibe (with all of its elements) directly into different festivals. Well, we successfully pulled it off and the experience was incredible. One thing is for sure though, there’s no way it could have been possible without the help of our amazingly talented friends who we’ve met along the way and have become core aspects of our community. Thanks to their support and belief in us, not only were we able to make a dream come true, but we were also able to have a unique and fresh experience combining friends from different chapters of our journey and executing an ambitious mission in a totally new environment.

This is what it’s all about and we can’t wait for more of it.

Endless thanks to the team who made this all possible. @tractionsound and @manta_paul for providing us with high fidelity sound waves that are changing the game. @galensunset for being an inspiration, mentor, legendary dj…but most of all, a real pro who is willing to take chances and dive into the unknown and spread the good word with us. @goodquestionsound and @zweb19 for your technical prowess and commitment to sonic quality, making this one of the best sounding projects we’ve worked on. @dellafuoco and @poppa_molotov for you’re genius and creativity in not only building us an incredible lighting system but also helping maximize it with your knowledge and design expertise. @kelseyannesofia and @gabbsview for once again exceeding expectations and breathing life into our stage with your gorgeous floral designs. To all the rest of our friends who helped throughout the process, thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💖

None of this would have been possible if @ssbdfest and more specifically @theafghanman and @peatsbeats didn’t believe in us. Infinite gratitude for the trust and creative freedom to make this dream come alive. Our experience was wonderful and we’ll
TL;DR - GrooveWell reunion party all night this Friday the 14th at @monarchsf 🔊🎶
•
It’s pretty wild to think that we packed up our lives and moved to Sayulita over a year ago. So much has transpired since then and we definitely got the adventure that we were seeking. Lots of growth, lots of challenges, lots of new friends, lots of tacos and a ton of new music.
•
After a surprisingly smooth 4 day pilgrimage back to the SF Bay, it feels extremely satisfying to be back home and getting settled in. There’s a lot more reflecting to be done and plenty more to be said, but we’ll save that for a later post. Most importantly; we’re gathering up the fam and taking over one of our favorite places, @monarchsf for a good ol’ fashioned reunion on the dance floor 💃🏽
•
The night will be extra special with not 1 but 2 birthdays happening! Our dear friend @kaelirenae will be kicking things off upstairs and celebrating her bday in style before handing over the decks to the coolest/sexiest dj we know, @macarena.wav before the official cousin of GrooveWell @dj_anuknocka finishes things off with a proper bday set in everyone’s favorite lounge. You can find the GrooveWell squad cooking downstairs all night long as we share a ton of new sounds that we’ve been collecting while we’ve been gone. So come on by and have a dance and a hug perhaps…we missed you San Francisco 😘
After an epic season of memorable events at our favorite venues throughout Sayulita, we are closing it out with a fitting grand finale, joining forces with our good homies @grooves.bay for a proper send off before we head back to the San Francisco Bay and @nahual.mexico closes for the low season.
•
We’ll be pulling out all the stops for this one with a solid lineup featuring Groove’s Bay residents @nanp.musik and @mattzaiz as well as Mexico’s finest @mikemontano_mx (La vie en Rose / Blind Vision), a DJ, Producer and pioneer of the Mexican electronic music scene. GrooveWell will be holding it down with sets from @fusion_gw, @j._.key and a special birthday set from @ledepic to top it off.
•
Festivities will start at 4pm downstairs with music and drinks as we feature a Mercado de Arte showcasing local artisans as well as a some of our favorite local food vendors. The evening continues with sunset on the rooftop and a full lineup of music that’s going all night long. As always, the high fidelity heartbeat of the night will be supplied by @tractionsound and beautiful flower decor by @solrisecollective. Come boogie with us one more time before we head out and enjoy another memorable night under the stars ✨
A little bit over a month ago we had an absolute blast being invited out to play at San Diego’s legendary @themustachebash festival. The whole experience exceeded our expectations and it was a beautiful homecoming for 4 best friends who all met in San Diego over 20 years ago.
•
The crowd was amazing and everyone had such great vibes all throughout the day. The layout and overall production was extremely well executed throughout the venue and you could really tell that the organizers cared about all the small details 🤌🏽
•
Huge thanks to @jeromesavino, @discotoshi and all the other badasses involved for having us and creating such a fun event 👊🏽✨
We’re super excited to kick off our first party at our beloved @nahual.mexico of 2024 by welcoming our incredibly talented and lovely friend @tigerbalmmusic to Sayulita 🌴
In what seems like forever ago, we first hosted Rose (Tigerbalm) in San Francisco after we heard her unique take on eclectic world music/disco sounds as part of the producer duo, Earthboogie. Since then, she’s only continued to blast off with incredible original productions and irresistible dj sets around the globe.
We’re looking forward to a high vibin’ night of quality disco, eclectic world music infused house and so much more this Saturday, January 27th at Nahual. GrooveWell residents Ledet and J key will be keeping the energy flowing throughout the night and we’re also very excited for the Sayulita debut of another disco queen, @sexicodisco to kick things off 🪩
Come early for sunset and stay late! As always, Nahual has you covered with one of the best sunset views in the area as well as delicious cocktails and food. Expect a top notch sonic experience all night long with our @tractionsound system providing high fidelity sound 🔊
See ya there :)
