The Groove Library exists to explore rhythm as a global language.

Born from a decade of Afro-centric digging under the name Easton Chop Up, The Groove Library expands the lens — reaching across borders, eras and genres to document music built for movement, meaning and connection.

Through DJ mixes, live streams, guest selectors, album deep-dives and communal listening parties, The Groove Library curates sound as both archive and experience. It is a space for dancers, listeners, collectors and the curious — equally at home in ritual, roots, club systems and future experiments.

  • Curated by people, not algorithms.
  • Spanning cultures, not confined by genre.
  • A journey, not a destination.

Only the groove — shared, studied, celebrated and passed forward.
