The package also features a hammond slaying, Northern Soul style remix from their old pal Johnny Machin.

Their 2001 debut album on Jonny’s own label Loft Recordings, X-Posure, was nominated for a Latin Grammy. Grupo X’s music gained global radio play and support from taste-making DJs including Gilles Peterson, Snowboy, Spinna, Bobbito and Louie Vega. The band has also had success in Japan with their Brand New Love EP, featuring the outstanding soulful sista, Lisa Millett, on vocals. Further acclaimed albums Food For Your Latin Soul and Grupo X Remixed featured the hit Sunshine, X-Perience and Whatever You Dream. In 2007, Grupo X’s track Jonny’s Bugalu featured on the DSW Shoes TV commercial across the USA. Grupo X have performed throughout the UK and Europe forging a reputation for crowd-pleasing grooves, with soulful vocals and heavy horns. Among their fans is Quentin Tarantino who had them booked to play at the after-party to the London premiere of Kill Bill 2.
Grupo X have collaborated with many internationally-renowned artists over the years, including “Mr Bongo” Jack Costanzo at 2003 North Sea Jazz Festival. They have played UK shows with Ubiquity Records’ Dave Pike, Bobby Matos and Johnny Blas, as well as performances with Cuban pianist Alfredo Rodriguez, NY salsero Jimmy Sabater (Fania Records) and trombonist Jimmy Bosch. In 2009 Grupo X toured the UK with “The King of Latin Soul”, Joe Bataan and Stones Throw Records’ James Pants, followed by an appearance at the 2010 Vintage Festival with Joe Bataan.

Following a move to London to study music, he worked as a freelance percussionist and drummer before joining the Lo-Fidelity Allstars as a composer, lyricist and musician. For the past ten years Johnny has continued to compose and perform with artists including Barry Adamson, Rory More, Tom Jones, Nick Cave and C W Stoneking. His previous remixes include The Charlatans, Snow Patrol, Cast, X-ecutioners and The Twilight Singers.
