"..Feel Me's success is the sparse, sexy feel of the rhythm track coupled with the exquisitely smokey vocal from Cynthia Layne." - Computer Music (UK) #74
..has a real lo-fi style to it with the miminal melody and distorted synth bassline..It's a very quirky track that does work overall." - Future Music (UK) #152

Bio
Groovkilla is the alias of the diverse songwriter/producer Reggie Bishop. Reggie Bishop started his musical career in his teens playing acoustic jazz and fusion bands in Indianapolis, IN.
Groovkilla was formed in the summer of 2004 when Reggie Bishop started the indie label, Spyral Records. Some of his tracks have been published in Future Music and Computer Music magazines and he was a semi-finalist in the Discmakers IMWS Midwest 2005.
Groovkilla's first cd "Manga" was released in 2004. . "Manga" was inspired by the music of Kraftwerk, the Art of Noise, Basement Jaxx, Prince Paul and the Chemical Brothers.
"Groovkilla "Manga" came about because of my love for electronic music and anime. The name "Groovkilla" is a take on "Godzilla". My 50 foot, fire-breathing monster is music. That's why the artwork for the disc is in manga-style. It's an homage to Masanue Shirow."
"The tracks on Manga are a hodge-podge of styles-more mainstream electronica and groove-oriented. It's as if you were club-hopping on Washington Blvd. in South Beach."
Groovkilla has also been selected as an artist rep for Ableton Live 5.
