"Mister M" by LL Groove Band

This song was born in an improvised session between Leon (Bass) Malin (vocals) in an old Dublin sitting room on a rainy day. From this, a full composition matured, based on a percussive vibe while containing intricate melodies. The production of the track features a collaboration with emerging engineer Kristijan Besac and contains secret gems to be discovered like hidden backing vocals or Leslie's organ hits.

Bassist Leon says, "Our latest single is our best work to date, it's the story of a lifetime of musicianship and amazing human partnership."

Often compared to the likes of Vulfpeck, Tom Misch, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, LL Groove band was created by bassist Leon Laisne. The electric jazz five-piece mix and shake funk, punchy rap, and crazy improvised sessions to create an excitingly fresh sound through which they wish to take listeners on an unexpected journey where no colour is off the table. They have released a series of EPs and singles, and can be found performing around the Dublin bar and festival scene.

LL Groove Band members are: Leon Laisne (bass), Malin (vocals) Tadhg Leahy (guitar), Yuzuha O'Halloran (saxophone) and Christian Conefery (drums).
