If you witness Groove Armada DJ this summer you will probably hear the three songs from the ‘Body Action’ EP and they will be fine, resolutely functional dance-floor tracks that won’t ruin your night or cause a stampede to the bar.
For anyone else, the prospect of a so-so Korg workout a good decade after the M1 revival turned stale (that’s ‘U Found Love feat. Give Love’), a stripped-down and fundamentally unchallenging acid track (‘Body Action’) and a ragga-garage-searching-for-a-bass-line knock off that makes ‘Superstylin’’ sound tough (‘Gangster Girl’) probably won’t get the pulse racing, politeness seeping from the record's every pore.
Groove Armada undoubtedly occupy an important space in British dance music history. But the ‘Body Action’ EP is not so much a Groove Armada as a Groove Dredger: it does a solid job and is well engineered for purpose — but it is hard to get excited by something so utilitarian.
