Groove City: Essence Reunion

Been a long time coming, but it’s finally happening. We’re turning the clock back to that golden era, raw energy, and unfiltered vibes.

Born from the sweat-soaked dancefloors and pirate radio waves of Touch FM, Groove City is Nottingham’s homage to the unfiltered energy of UK underground music. Curated by Monsta Boy – a 25-year veteran of the scene – we’re not just throwing parties. We’re rebuilding the ecosystem where Garage, Soulful House, and RnB collided in pure chaos.

Anyone remember The House Club, three floors of madness, the decks blessed by the likes of Karl Tuff Enuf Brown, Matt Jam Lamont, Ray Hurley and the Dream Teem, MCs Munchie, Sharkey P, PSG, and CKP set the place alight.

Or maybe your spot was the basement @Essence, with Jammin Danny D, Dangerous Davey E, and DJ Bully tearing it down, alongside MC’s Wally B, Spice, and 2Twenty holding it down.

No gimmicks. No TikTok trends. Just the real ravers’ soundtrack – served loud, raw, and with the respect it deserves. YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS..
