GROOVE INSTITUTE BIO:

In 1995 YOGI, MARK & ANAND had their own radio show at the University of Toronto called the Groove Institute Mix Show. The show's name was subsequently used by the DJ collective to signal their mission: to educate and entertain people with the music that they loved. The collective had paid their dues travelling around the U.S. digging deep through the crates for rare old gems and immersing themselves in the underground warehouse scene of the late 80s/early 90s. They learned their lessons well and began putting their knowledge to work by establishing their premier night Solid Garage in 1998. In their quest for the perfect beat, the Groove Institute cover a wide selection of music, dropping soul, jazz, latin, afro, disco, garage, techno and deep house into the pot for a constantly evolving musical flavor and richness .... the true garage vibe!

Their depth and knowledge of music has helped them get booked with the likes of Louie Vega, Osunalde, Tony Allen, Femi Kuti, Seun Kuti, Colonel Abrams, Jellybean Benitez, Robert Owens, Blaze, Adeva, Mark Farina, Jazzanova, Ron Trent, Tortured Soul, Kenny Bobien ...
