Groovemaster Johnson Just brief messages relating to events I play, earlier DJ work and things I like Originating from the UK, he made the move to Holland as a teenager.

A BRIEF SUMMARY:

The name ‘Groovemaster’ Johnson has always been synonymous with soulful, bumpy dance music. Over the years he has evolved into one of Holland’s most respected & legendary DJs spinning everything from funk, jazz-dance and reggae to hiphop, UKG/Bass, global world grooves and so much more. In 1987, under the Soho Connection banner, he introduced House music to the Netherlands collab

orating with ID Magazine, Family Funktion & Shake ‘n’ Fingerpop from London. 10 years on and again he was at the forefront, introducing the UK Garage sound to the Netherlands. The ‘Groovemaster’ released several compilation CDs and underground tracks as collaborations. He also set up his Bubble Club, he held a residency at Amsterdam’s legendary Club RoXY amongst others and he hosted radio shows, played festivals, DJ-ed sets with live musicians and basically the list just goes on and on. A versatile DJ in so many respects.

Recent 'live' set for OHAF 2024 Paradiso Amsterdam

Here is a selection of tracks I remembered playing back at Club RoXY; a mix of deep, acid and funky tracks. Whilst many were huge floorfillers, others had a more underground vibe. I was asked to play tracks from between '87 - '89 which you'll hear back in this mix. Over the years I managed to convert many to a digital format or I got hold of good quality digital remastered versions so this wasn't a vinyl set. Hope you like.

Another Sunday afternoon underground house jam mixed on my Traktor S4. A blend of old, new and lots in-between. Tracks are slightly tougher this time around; bumpy, funky, soulful and bass-heavy.

For the best sonic experience, listen on a good sound system or use headphones with a full bottom-end. NJOY

Sunday afternoon mix session: something old, something new (and in-between)...I like it funky, soulful and not cheesy. This is quite an uptempo groove so hope you're feeling it. Shout out to 'Soul Jawa' for his great I-Robots edit.

For a full sonic experience, you definitely need to hear and feel the bass. NJOY!

A house set with pretty well-known classics, I was asked to play stuff to get the party started, exactly what I did, ranging from bumpy raw deep tracks to harder acid grooves and a touch of the more soulful stuff. Sounds best over a good sound system. Tracklist doesn't work properly on MixCloud....s...

Lifted from an old school cassette tape and very lucky it was still in 1 piece praying that the tape wouldn't slow down and stop or even break. I hope I can find more of these older live club recordings, it was fun listening back.

In 1989 DJs played vinyl all night long from 11pm - 5am. This recording was an early part of my Saturday set: 'Live from Club RoXY'. I supplied the recordings for the 1st few years (because the other resident DJs usually forgot) and they were broadcast weekly for Amsterdam FM radio show. Ow yes....the picture was also from 1989 @ Club RoXY....hahaha.

What I noticed about the selection, it was influenced a lot more by the New York / New Jersey sound whereas before that I played a lot more deep and acid house with less vocals.
