Groove Armada are a house music group from Cambridge, England, composed of two members, Andy Cato (real name Andrew Cocup) and Tom Findlay. They first came to fame with a 1997 limited single release, "At The River", which sampled "Old Cape Cod" by Patti Page. The song has since been found on numerous chill out compilations.
Their most famous work is their 2000 international hit "I See You Baby", remixed by Fatboy Slim in the Big Beat style, with the repeated chorus line "Shakin' that ass", as heard in Renault Mégane advertisements. Vocals were provided by Ibiza-based DJ Gram'Ma Funk. Incidentally, this track was also recorded with the chorus line "Shakin' that thang" for various conservative markets around the world, most notably the American South. Whilst this is their most famous work they have also produced less mainstream work, which are often featured in television adverts or television promos.
Their song "Suntoucher" was sampled by Jay-Z for the song "What More Can I Say" on his Black Album.
Their song "Hands of Time", starring folksinger Richie Havens, is featured in the movie Collateral, and is referred to by one of the characters as a "classic song".
