Welcome to GrooverCleveland.com
Thanks for stopping by! I’m excited to unveil the new website. This is in no way a departure from Cocaine Mortgage; it is simply another outlet to share music with the world. As you’d expect, I’ll be posting my favorite songs and remixes from other artists as well as my own mixtapes, remixes, and sets. Check back here periodically to acquire some jams and as always, let me...

Here’s a sneak peek into what my dear friend, Mike Smith, and I got into today. We teamed up to get some rad shots of him turning and spinning at his DJ stand. Mike’s an extremely gifted DJ artist and if you check out his blog, you can treat yourself to some of his mixed and mashed-up…

Soldier On (RUSKOS F’kin Seagull Remix) by The Temper Trap
I should have posted this song last week, but I was all over that Dan Black track for a hot minute. I’ve been digging this track hard since it came out a couple weeks ago on The Temper Trap’s new remix album. Rusko is typically hit-and-miss for me, but lately he’s had a few gnarly tracks that I can’t resist. This is also...

Black Ghosts - Repetition Kills You (ft. Damon Albarn) (RAC Mix) by Remix Artist Collective
HEAR IT IN THE SET AT BLUE NILE TOMORROW!
I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to post this song. I’ve been jamming to it all month. Black Ghosts are a solid UK band, but RAC took this song, and as usual, brought it to new levels. The live (sounding?) bass line carries the song as the...

fun. - Walking the Dog (RAC mix) by nettwerkmusicgroup
Fun.’s Aim & Ignite was one of the best records of last year: summery pop meets lush orchestral arrangements and the always vibrant vocals of Nate Ruess. RAC recently dropped this remix of one of the best tracks, and it’s perfect for your weekend excursions. Summer isn’t over for another ten days, so let this tune shine through...

Frankenstein (One-Armed Scissor Remix) by Groover Cleveland
I’ve been really digging the newest Tokyo Police Club record. It’s the perfect cross between punk and indie. This is likely my favorite track from the album, and I envisioned it being a bit - dancey-er? Therefore, I added one of my favorite beats (that you may recognize from our sets) to it along with...
COCAINE MORTGAGE: Sweet Rob →
Sweet Rob by ddliv
In case anyone is wondering where Mike and I came up with ‘Cocaine Mortgage’ for our DJ alias, we took it from Rick Ross’ song, ‘Billionaire’:
Niggas want to kidnap, leave me in the trunk Walk away with big stacks They jealous of the fortune Glitz…
