Addison Groove
Addison Grooveとして知られるAntony Williams。2010年にリリースされた“Footcrab”のヒットにより、瞬く間にその名を知られるようになったため、若き新星のように思われがちだが、かつてはHeadhunter名義で活躍し、dubstepシーンの有力レーベルTempaからのリリースも含めて数枚の作品を発表してきており、そのキャリアは短くはない。Chicago ghetto tekなどと称されるベースミュージックに影響を受けたAddison Grooveのサウンドは、Surgeon、Ricardo Villalobos、Mr Scruffなど各方面のアーティスト達から支持され、UKのベースミュージックシーンに強烈なインパクトを与えることとなる。瞬く間に注目を集めたAntonyは、やがてロンドンのFabricやベルリンのBerghainといった世界的にその名を知られるクラブへの出演を果たすまでに至る。TR808を駆使したライブは評価が高く、ヨーロッパ以外にもアメリカ、アジア、オセアニアでも精力的にツアーを行っており、世界各地で吸収してきたサウンドを自身のスタイルに反映させながら、アーティストとしての進化を続けている。
Addison Groove
Antony Williams aka Addison Groove started out life under a different pseudonym altogether, that of Headhunter, under which he achieved legendary status within the dubstep scene. With an LP and 12” releases on the influential Tempa label stretching back to 2007, his work at the deeper end of the dubstep spectrum has
graced the label an impressive 7 times, a figure matched only by luminaries such as Skream & Horsepower Productions. This work looked set to continue until 2010 when, seemingly out of nowhere, he crafted one of the biggest bass music tracks of the decade, ‘Footcrab’, under the new name of Addison Groove.
The response to ‘Footcrab’ was phenomenal, receiving critical and commercial success in equal measure across the dance music scene. Getting plays not only from the dubstep DJs that Williams was used to reaching, it also found its way into the record boxes of techno and house heavyweights such as Surgeon, Ricardo Villalobos and Mr Scruff, bringing an enormous new audience to his music in the
process. Taking influences from the Chicago ghetto tek and juke scenes, Addison Groove’s impact on UK bass music has been colossal and unprecedented, sparking a huge interest in these styles from his peers and the listening public alike.
Progressing at a breakneck pace, he was quick to develop a live 808 show which has graced some of the finest nightclubs in the world including Fabric, London and Berlin’s infamous Berghain. With his hectic touring schedule including USA, Australia, New Zealand, Asia and numerous dates in Europe, he continues to bring his hybrid sound to captivated audiences across the globe.
