We are excited to share a body-moving, soul-enriching mix from NikNak, DJ, sound artist, and turntablist for electrifying jazz collective TC & The Family Groove.
TC & The Groove Family are a 10-piece collective whose music celebrates the coming together of cultures, and the unity that music can provide for everyone. Their live shows are powerful and dynamic, exploring grooves and genres from the UK and around the world, including Afrobeat, jungle, jazz and highlife.
@niknakdjmusic tells us, “The mix serves as an audible representation of who we are as a band; a family. It shows off the kinds of vibes we’ll be bringing to our upcoming album, and also features tracks from artists that we admire, respect and are inspired by both as individual artists and as a musical family unit who often wear flamboyant shirts…”
