Nowhere to Go – Smoove
The Groovy History of Smoove & Turrell
Welcome to the funky world of Smoove & Turrell, where soul meets electronic beats and grooves are the lifeblood of creativity! This British duo, hailing from Newcastle, England, have been lighting up stages and dance floors since they burst onto the scene in 2007. But before we dive into their colorful journey, let’s take a step back and explore the vibrant landscape that birthed their unique sound!
Roots: Where It All Began
Smoove (real name: Smoove… well, he likes to keep it simple!) is a DJ and producer known for his impeccable skill behind the decks as well as his ear for catchy tunes. He teamed up with Jonny Turrell, a talented vocalist whose smooth voice can melt even the coldest heart. Together, they blend elements of funk, soul, disco, and trip-hop into an irresistible cocktail that gets everyone shaking their groove thing.
Their musical roots can be traced back to classic genres like funk and soul—just imagine those late-night vinyl digs at record shops or jam sessions that went on until dawn. They’ve taken inspiration from legends like Marvin Gaye while mixing in modern flavors reminiscent of electronic acts such as Fat Freddy’s Drop or Daft Punk.
The Birth of Their Sound
The spark truly ignited when Smoove started experimenting with production techniques combined with Jonny’s soulful vocals. Their debut album “Antique Soul” was released in 2009 and immediately set them apart in the crowded music scene. With tracks that feel both nostalgic yet fresh—a sweet spot they continue to occupy—they offered listeners a ride through funky vibes interlaced with heartfelt lyrics.
The Groove Train Rolls On
Over the years, Smoove & Turrell has dropped several albums such as “Eccentric Audio,” “Crown Posse,” and more recently “Stratos Bleu.” Each release showcases their ability to evolve while keeping true to what makes them unique—the groove!
Their music often features horns blasting out captivating melodies alongside rich basslines that’ll make your feet twitch involuntarily. Seriously! You might find yourself trying some questionable dance moves—well worth it if you ask us.
Funny Facts About These Funksters:
-
A Double Dose of Talent: Did you know? Jonny once auditioned for “The X Factor,” but instead found success making groovetastic tunes with Smoove! Maybe he just wasn’t ready for all that drama.
-
Mystery Man: Ever wondered what’s behind Smoove’s stage name? Well… it’s actually not some quirky story about mystery; it turns out he just signed onto MySpace one day thinking “Hey man… let’s just go by ‘Smoove’!” A chill vibe indeed.
-
Funky Foodies: Both members love cooking! That means there’s probably some spicy curry sauce mixed in while creating those slick beats—talk about flavor!
-
Instrumental Shenanigans: Despite being predominantly known for electronic sounds today, Smoove had once attempted playing guitar but ended up sounding so ‘creative’ (aka terrible) that he vowed never again—thank goodness he stuck with producing!
-
Gigs Gone Wild: Not long ago during a show in Europe; Jonny decided mid-performance to throw his jacket off dramatically—and hit someone right on target! Thankfully it turned into an impromptu souvenir given how much fun they were having!
Live Performances That Make You Feel Alive
One undeniably joyful aspect is how they completely transform live shows into absolute party atmospheres! Attendees often describe their concerts like an epic reunion where everyone dances together under twinkling lights—no one left standing still!
To say they’re phenomenal performers would be an understatement; when you’re witnessing Jonny belting out powerful notes accompanied by infectious rhythms driving people wild—it feels less concert-like & more family gathering full of laughter (and maybe slightly blurry memories sometimes).
That magnetic energy radiates throughout venues around Europe wherever they perform—from intimate clubs all night long down funky festival stages packed cheering crowds—it becomes clear these guys know howto hook audience souls directly into lively fiestas worth remembering forevermore.
