10 x 4 – Pursuit Grooves

10 x 4 - Pursuit Grooves Pursuit Grooves makes music for being chased by angry mobs or wild dogs. Whatever’s on your tail, if you’ve got Pursuit’s Grooves in your earphones, you’re gonna get the fuck out of there. Having just released her debut album Frantically Hopeful on Tectonic, and with a bunch of festival performances under her belt, the Washington D.C native’s angular juxtapositions of broken beats and bone crushing bass are fierce, fast and dangerous and have been picked up by everyone from Rush Hour (who gave her her first release) to techno DJ’s and alt-music blogs.

Check Pursuit Groove’s soundcloud for some nice podcasts too.
