With more than 25 years of career behind him, Luis Groove is one of the most solid and respected names to come from the electronic music scene of the Canary Islands. Originally from Tenerife, he has built a career marked by long-term residencies, appearances at large-scale festivals and performances in different European capitals. Since 2013 he has been a resident at Papagayo Tenerife, one of the leading clubs in Spain, where he shares the booth with the biggest artists on the international scene, a role he combines with another residency at Gekko Club Tenerife and the Gravity Electronic Parties events. His story begins in the late 90s, when he became the resident DJ of the legendary BB+ Tenerife after-hours (1999–2009), shaping an entire generation with Sunday sessions that are still remembered. Later, his career expanded to mainland Spain, with a key period in Madrid where he became resident of Club 7 (2009–2012) and connected with the capital’s underground scene. Ibiza also plays a fundamental role in his trajectory: over several seasons he secured standout residencies at clubs such as Sankeys Ibiza (2011–2012) with the “U Wanna Escape?” brand as part of Steve Lawler’s Viva Warriors nights, and performed at Ushuaïa Beach Club (2009–2010) with the “Fireland On Sundays” event alongside Tania Vulcano. During those years he also developed his career as a producer and label manager. In 2009 he founded, together with José Armas, the label Lowpitch Records, releasing his first productions there. His tracks and remixes have been issued on labels like Roush, Too Many Rules and Overall Music, earning support from major international artists. His career has taken him to booths of clubs and festivals across Europe: Altavoz Festival and Tag Club in Venice, MFG Club in Berlin, Cirque Paradis in Paris, The Ditch in London, La Ruche in Lausanne, Veranda Lounge in Ukraine, Off Sonar in Barcelona and Fabrik in Madrid. In Spain he was a regular at festivals such as Eólica, Magma Meeting and Sunblast, where he has opened the dancefloor for artists like Ricardo Villalobos, Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola or Luciano. Since 2015 his name has also been associated with the GreenWorld Festival, one of the most important in the Canary Islands. His musical identity is strongly influenced by the old‑school house sound of the 90s and the techno and tech‑house of the early 2000s. His sets are characterized by a curated selection always focused on moving the dancefloor, with funky basslines and percussive grooves touched by minimal, deep, garage, acid, funky and disco. Luis holds the groove in a natural balance between the modern and classic, the effective and the sophisticated. His energy, his chameleon‑like style and his intuition for reading the crowd allow him to adapt to different settings and always keep the connection with the audience alive.
