Club Tip CMU Approved
Approved: Groove Sanctuary at Madame JoJo’s
By Paul Vig | Published on Friday 30 April 2010
Groove Sanctuary is back to its original home, Soho’s Madame JoJo’s, and is back as a weekly Sunday session too. Nearly a decade has passed since it last graced this venue, but it’s still going for it, blending house, busted beats, Afrobeat, jazz, Latin and any other stylish grooves and moves. I’ve not had a bad night down there.
Guest DJs over the years have been Jazzanova, Peter Kruder, Patrick Forge, Bugz In The Attic, Gilles Peterson, MJ Cole, Martin Solvieg, Aaron Ross, Quentin Harris, and this Bank Holiday Sunday (not a school night, people) sees resident Jimbo (aka Raw Deal, curator of the night) team up with Jose Carretas from the Restless Soul camp, who has DJed for Damon Albarn’s Gorillaz Sound System and played to crowds of in excess of 35,000. So, this small intimate Soho venue will be a slight change of scenery for him.
Sunday 2 May, Madame JoJo’s, 8-10 Brewer Street, Soho, London, W1 OSE 9.30pm – 3am, £5 before 11pm, £8 after, more info at www.groovesanctuary.com.
