O. P. Groover

06/12/2024

Greetings from Zadar! In August I drove from London to Croatia, with my cat Lady Ray, in my trusty "Toyah" car - 3 days driving with 2 stop offs. I stayed in Starigrad Paklenica when I first arrived, with the most amazing view from my balcony. I partied at Sonus Festival, Zcre beach & a couple of festivals in Tisno. I love the climate, sea dipping & the amazing scenery inland. I'm now staying in Diklo, Zadar for a bit.

The eagle eyed may have noticed, I've been quiet the last few months while I get my shizz sorted. I brought a car load of stuff that an O.P.Groover on the move may need, including a streamlined DJ video streaming setup that I've now got ready to share, so keep an eye for more news!

I’m excited to announce that the amazing asked me to do a guestmix for her & the first airing is this Friday, 13th Sept at 10pm UK, 11pm CEST, 5pm EDT on Echo Radio. Jack-i’s mix is the 1st hour & my mix is in the 2nd hour

Jacki-e’s has been running for years now, when she noticed how small the representation of female producers was & decided it was time to draw the line & doing something about it! Her mix features only female producers, with only female guest dj’s. I’m proud to be featured on the show. I’ve been experimenting with a more subdued tech & breakbeat sound lately & I think my guestmix reflects that. I hope you enjoy it!

Tune in Friday 13th Sept at 10pm UK, 11pm CEST, 5pm EDT on Echo Radio

Yes I’m doing a bikini shot post 😎

This is an appreciation post to my festival bikini - this weekend she did her last green shimmy of the summer at & she’s done me & my buttons proud in bringing glamour to dancing in 38C heat this summer 🔥 Can’t wait to do it all again next year 🥰

Also, some AA appreciation for my buttons ✊🏼 😘 Thank-you for only needing a slim strip of sequin covered fabric to keep you in check & maintain dignity while I dance like a loon to electronic beats. 🎶💃🏻🔊

I know one can get fat transfer augmentation done cheaper abroad (the dream procedure to take fat from your arse & put it where you b***s are! Eureka!) and I’ve seriously considered it. A lot. It would be great to not feel scorn or pity & instead feel admiration & acceptance.
BUT …
…if I did that, what about when I dance like a loon? My natural dancer’s physique would have extra flaps on it that need extra support! I’m not sure I can be arsed to give special attention to tit sling fittings, etc and I hear it’s a relief to take the damn support off as soon as you’re home! I mean, it sounds like a hassle & quite frankly, when I just wanna dance, that’s really gonna kill my vibe.

So yeah big ups to my titchy sequin festival bikini enjoy your hibernation & see you next summer. 😘

Did you know, those little bees you see in the evening sitting on flowers are old bees.
Old & sick bees don't return to the hive at the end of their day.
They spend the night on flowers, and if they have the chance to see another sunrise, they resume their activity by bringing pollen or nectar to the colony.
They do this sensing that the end is near.
No bee waits to die in the hive so as not to burden the others.
So, next time you see an old little bee sat upon a flower as the night closes in.....Thank the little bee for her life long service. 🐝
