Hot English Roast Groove

The project Roast Groove began its existence within the walls of Circle Bar Clapham, where they now regularly perform at the biggest parties. As the group's popularity grew, they started being invited to the best venues in London, and soon to major festivals such as Electric Gardens, where the guys performed on the same stage as Audio Bullys, Armand Van Helden, Stanton Warriors, Plump DJ's, 2 Many DJ's, Layo and Bushwacka, Cassius, and Caged Baby. Steve Rothery, one of the members of the project, began his DJ career over 10 years ago. He successfully worked at Fusion (Birmingham) from 1997 to 2001, hosting parties and playing excellent funky house warming up for Brandon Block, Alex P, Sonique, Tony De Vit, and John Kelly. Steve also organized famous Fusion parties on a ship, sailing down the River Severn at the end of each summer and participated in tours with Ministry of Sound, Cream, Gatecrasher, Turnmills, and Passion. In 2003, Steve moved to London and started performing at venues such as Pacha, The Egg, The Cross, Turnmills, Brixton Academy... Every Saturday, Steve, along with Steve Butcher and Dan Tickler, played at Oblivion, and also performed at two major P.O.S.H! festivals in 2004, after which he started playing at well-known parties Up Close and Intimate at Whitehouse Clapham. Concurrently, Steve was a promoter of the Funky Love party and a consistent member of the Roast Groove collective. Lucy Clarke represents the vocal part of the Roast Groove project. Lucy started her music career by signing a contract with Si Peal Management in 2005, after which her popularity grew rapidly. Lucy worked with artists like Robbie Rivera, Chris Lake, Armada, and Kidology. Successful releases were made with Chris Hoff, Dr Beat (Luis Telo), Eric Kupper and Andy Morris, Elmo and Richards, Ted Nilsson and Jonze. Through radio broadcasts on Radio 1, Kiss 100, Miss Monneypennys, and many others, her work became beloved both inside and outside the country. Since Lucy started collaborating with The Live PA, she has been invited to Pacha London, The Honey Club, SIN, Mango, Luminar, and also to famous Live PA festivals. Steve Rothery & Lucy Clarke will perform on May 16, 2008 at Club XIII.
