UK dance duo Groove Armada have gone release crazy this week with a triple bill consisting of a new mini album, video and Beatport chart.

First up, the imaginatively titled ‘EP’ contains four new brand new tracks released as part of the band’s partnership with drinks brand Bacardi. The rum manufacturers struck a first-of-its-kind deal with Groove Armada last year, and are set to release all their future output through its B-Live label.

The EP contains the kind of pop-laden combination of vocals and live instruments we have come to expect from the band, as displayed on ‘Drop The Tough’ and ‘Go’, both of which feature Saint Saviour of electro-pop outfit The RGBs. 

‘El Padrino’ and ‘Pull Up’ meanwhile exercise the duo’s penchant for a dancefloor moment through the former’s Balearic house beats and the latter’s rowdy bass and the ragga vocals of Slarta John.

Their March Beatport chart (below) meanwhile is a pick and mix selection of house, techno and disco. Tracks and remixes by Paul Woolford, Etienne De Crecy, Jamie Jones and Henrik Schwarz all sit happily alongside a pair of their new numbers.
