We had a blast selecting tunes and recording our mix for the “Celebrating 15 Years of @strawberryfields_festival” competition. We’re thrilled with the result, featuring a smooth transition from soulful slow BPM tracks to vibrant disco/boogie, and wrapping up with some classic deep house.

Full length recording of our mix on our visit to Hope St Radio on December 5th.

Enjoy it!

Last episode of the year delivered by label's head Mateo. Perfect selection for these warm days. Expect loads of Funk, Disco, House and Electro.

Second episode of our 2021 podcast series delivered by Tocco, Uruguayan talented artist based in Anglesea, Victoria. Strongly influenced by the late 80s and early 90s sound, he delights us today with a 76 minute mix, packed of Street Soul, Hip Hop, R&B and Boogie.

Hope you enjoy it!

First solo release from the label owners (Juan and Mateo) under Lay Down The Groove moniker. Pursuit Of Sound is the result of their musical influences throughout these years of producing and playing music. This 5-track EP can hardly be classified within only one genre, but as a diverse vinyl suitable for different times and seasons. Many of the music-wise elements were recorded with a Juno 60, and the whole record itself manifests the importance of this machine in its identity and creative processes. All tracks were written and produced by these Colombian artists in Melbourne, Australia between 2020/21.

Full length recording of our mix at Capers Thonbury last Friday 12th. Hope you enjoy it as we did!

New mix delivered by Juan for LDG this new year, stocked full of House, Disco, Electro and Garage. We hope you enjoy it!

Lay Down The Groove is honoured to present its 4th record, named “Down Under”, which is the first of the new Split Series.

This time, the label keeps focusing on the blooming Latin American scene and keeps working with close friends.

On side A, LDG owners open the record with “We were one”, an electro piece that combines a sticky synth with melancholic arpeggios and deep pads. Following "Aloof from it”, a dancefloor-oriented banger, characterised by strong chords and breaks. Both tracks were recorded in Bogota, Colombia between late 2017 and along 2018, and mixed in Melbourne, Australia in 2019.

On side B, the Argentinian Dj Braver delivers "Pick Phunk”, a deep track with a funky bassline that fits perfectly with the chords that pop from left to right creating an amazing and hypnotic groove. Closing the record, the Colombian artist Junn, who was part of our last digital release, presents “Apura”, a blend of solid beats and synths that turns into glitch sounds through the track from beginning to end.

Pretty soon the pre order will be available in records stores

Thanks for your support!
