Order: Hawkinson, Ray Kajioka, Joel Mull – LA GROOVE EP
After more than ten years, Phunkit Records proudly presents a new release from Hawkinson.
With the LaGroove EP, he returns with a deeply personal vinyl release – a comeback that has been a long time in the making and clearly draws from genuine experience and reflection.
The production was supported by label co-operator Steinmüller, adding depth and drive to the EP – a result of their long-standing friendship and shared musical vision.
“Groovelamark” opens the record with a straight, uncompromising Detroit-inspired techno track, driven by raw energy, hypnotic motion and tight drums – Hawkinson is back in full force.
“Groovelapolk” shows another side: more subtle layers, swinging rhythms and shimmering synths – a groove that floats between lightness and depth.
On top, three outstanding remixes round off the package.
Hawkinson invited two heavyweight artists to rework the tracks – none other than Ray Kajioka and Joel Mull.
- Ray Kajioka transforms “Groovelamark” into a dub-infused, pulsating interpretation – warm, deep and perfectly on point.
- Joel Mull delivers two strong takes on “Groovelapolk”: the powerful “Stop&Go Remix” made for peak-time energy, and the atmospheric “NordicExpress Remix”, a long and driving journey – available exclusively in digital format.
In the end, this is a record full of groove, emotion, energy and techno power – driven by collaboration, friendship and a pure love for music.
