Label GB

BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

Groove Armada is an electronic music duo hailing from London, England. Comprised of Andy Cocup and Tom Findlay, they have made a name for themselves in the music industry with their chart-topping singles "I See You Baby" and "Superstylin'". With a total of eight studio albums under their belt, four of which have reached the top 50 on the UK Albums Chart, Groove Armada continues to captivate audiences with their unique sound and infectious beats.

As always with Groove Armada it’s a melting pot of styles, but in contrast to the guitar laden sound of their last album, the Grammy nominated Black Light, the uniting stylistic thread here lies somewhere between Hall and Oates, Prince and Roxy Music.

Edge of The Horizon features a whole range of vocal talent, from friends and neighbours to the godfather of UK Garage Todd Edwards who appears on Lover 4 Now. A summer anthem of positivity, love and togetherness, Todd’s signature vocals shimmer above a straight-ahead Italo-disco groove. It was made with a moment in mind.

Groove Armada’s flair for blending electro elements with the energy of a live band remains at the heart of the record. In fact, the foundations of this album are the memories of the 15 years they spent on the road playing dance music live. The legendary GA tour bus parties had a strong dose of yacht rock on the playlist. Holding Strong is an unashamed salute to the best of those searing emotional highs of the 80s. NYCs She Keeps Bees heads up the title track, born out of a groove left on the cutting room floor during the chaotic Black Light sessions.

Chicago house music icon Paris Brightledge deploys his iconic tones on two tracks, and Empire of The Sun and Pnau’s Nick Littlemore features on the lockdown anthem, Get Out on the Dancefloor.
