Groove Armada: Prince to Portishead... the seven albums that shaped us

In advance of their appearance at Forbidden Fruit in Dublin, the dance music maestros talk about some of the records that influenced them through the decades 

Andy Cato and Tom Findlay of Groove Armada are on their way to Forbidden Fruit in Dublin. 

Andy Cato and Tom Findlay first met in London in the early 1990s. A friend suggest they get to know each other so Cato dropped by Findlay’s parents’ house. Findlay was in the attic, lying on a beanbag a bit stoned, when Cato, who is 6ft 8in tall, was directed upstairs to meet him. Findlay says he thought he was hallucinating when he saw Cato materialise, crouching under the low ceiling. The pair hit it off immediately, later DJing together after university at a club night in London called Captain Sensual at the Helm of the Groove Armada.
