RA's Todd L. Burns sits down with the Detroit DJ/producer to talk 909s, dessert and humility.

i want that 'vinyl' t-shirt

I want that tshirt too!!! Where can I get it?

+1!!

awesome interview. much respect due.

Thank you Todd.

You know, I cannot express everything that I am feeling right about now regarding RA and you, as a friend.

It is a joy to have friends talk to friends, not artists talk to internet writers. That is the difference between several of the most recent pieces with Chez Damier, Rick Wilhite, Scott Grooves, Anthony Shakir and Kyle Hall.

Since we met for the DEMF, you and Tom (aka Pipecock) have revealed the most honest, graceful and sincere portrait of Detroit artists, DJ and producers unlike anyone else.

Your warm conversation with Scott.......well........it was just that "a warm conversation with Scott Grooves", beautifully written......how............straight from the heart and soul.

For those of you that dont know or have a clue...........

The New Day happened at Soulskate 2008.
The New Day happened when I was blessed to have a warm conversation with Todd Burns.

Here is to you.......Keep enjoying what you do and know that you have my complete support.....

THE NEW DAY FOR DETROIT.........................

Full support for Scott Grooves over the years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Scott Grooves designs his own t-shirts doesn't he? AND I would like to remind everyone his 12" on Spiritual Life called Organ Nights is one of the most beautiful deep and funky tracks ever!! So great he is releasing music again!

so nice to hear that Scott Grooves values friendship as much as he does music. also very intersesting to know how perceived the drum machine upon first introduction and has finally not only grown to accept but embraced them with is Classic 808, 909 releases. class act.

love his traxx

Straight and honest interview...Great.big respect to Scott Grooves also...He deserve it

tshirt is so dope where is it from !!

reel talk.

music like we like,discussions like we always want more..

inspiring sentiments

I caught Scott when he played in Brooklyn last November. he's a dope DJ. and I've both the Natural Midi releases, Classic 909 and Detroit 808. two of my favorites releases from last year.

I want that vinyl shirt also

Yeah... badass shirt... should put copies of that T-shirt for sale online!

That was a great interview. Have loved the guy sincse that funny ass 'Mothership Reconnection' video came into my life in middle school...

Still massively classic!!!

yea, I can't believe how long ago that was. I was in high school. made me feel old!

really enjoyed the night in watergate but the sound on the water deck didn't do them justice.

Great Read, didn't know much about Scott...will be checking all of his work!

todd , all we really want to know about Scott Grooves is where he gets his t-shirts from, these are the important questions. note to self.

Great extended meal metaphor

Real love the Scott Grooves work! He have the courage to show his real feelings, deep, deep, deep! The 'Expansions' with Roy Ayers is so hot, so jazzy, that blows my mind!! Deep full support!

great story and nicely written too, just goes to show that it is all about the music and honest personality and people who don't think they are so important-makes the "scene" look so foolish.....

todd..loved it!!!
Scott...miss u madly and loved all u said!!!

Scott is true Detroit for those who don't know!!!

SMOOCHES

i remember the soda that was only available in detroit. i also recall his set in november. a memorable night. his personality lives up to the interview.

@ Mari724..........and your reaction at Bookies, after Scott played.........I will never forget.

Anyone know where his tune "Classic 909" can be downloaded online?
Thanks in advance.

so is sg 'panther'? and is that track 3 dub going to be released?

Desperation bump...would love to d/l this
