It's been just over 2 years since The Turnaround hosted Grooveman Spot for his first New Zealand appearance. Word on the street was that in the 9 years that The Turnaround has been running, our faithful regulars declared him their favourite international guest to date. A big call, considering some of the players that have graced the decks over the years at one of Auckland's best dances.
With this in mind, Grooveman Spot hits Aotearoa for round two, on a rare international sojourn representing influential Tokyo record store/label/movement 'Jazzy Sport'.
Bringing with him his eclectic Far Eastern blend of deep sound system wares, from hip-hop to soul and futuristic beat science, this is a one off international club event not to be missed.
The Turnaround has been entertaining its faithful religiously on the last Friday of the month for 9 years now. To celebrate we’ve roped in the talents of Rio Hemopo & Firefly for a live PA alongside your DJ hosts Cian, Submariner & Manuel Bundy and are taking things up out of the basement and up the stairs for a change of scenery. C'mon let's celebrate!!!

Bacco Room 53 Nelson St Auckland, New Zealand
After rocking the hinges off when he last graced NZ for a 5 hour set in 2008, UK phenomenon Benji B is set to give 2011 a jump-start, with a certified Saturday night special at Bacco.
Known as a purveyor of the very best in underground styles, Benji wraps hip hop, garage, dubstep, soul, jazz, Detroit techno and all manner of future beat science, into a singular dancefloor journey. His monthly Deviation Sessions club nights are rated amongst London's very best, and have seen him hosting the likes of Moodymann, Sa-Ra Creative Partners, Skream, the first London date of Flying Lotus and Dam Funk, as well as our own Electric Wire Hustle on their recent 2010 global jaunt. His keen patronage of EWH (Chaser was amongst his Top 10 of 2009) is not a one-off, he's been a long time discerning champion of kiwi sounds, pimping many of our finest Turnarounders to a wider audience, including Isaac Aesili, Recloose, Julien Dyne and more.

SCRATCH 22 THE TURNAROUND (Manuel Bundy, Cian, Submariner)
"Vincent Mason is known all over the world for his role as DJ Maseo of the legendary Hip Hop group, De La Soul and his electrifying skills as a DJ. No one could have predicted that Maseo’s natural ability and immense talents on the turntable would enable him to travel the world and become a Hip Hop phenomenon.
Born and raised In Brooklyn, New York, Maseo’s interest in music emerged at the young age of six as he observed a family friend practicing on his DJ equipment. Maseo’s ambitious journey to stardom officially began when his mother gave him his very own set of turntables. Destined for success, Maseo dedicated all of his free time to mastering his craft by observing neighborhood DJs. Maseo made his first debut as a DJ, at the age of twelve. By the time Maseo reached high school his DJ skills were immeasurable.
During high school Maseo’s life would be forever changed as he and two of his high-school friends, Kelvin Mercer and David Jolicouer, formed one of the most highly respected and critically acclaimed rap groups, De La Soul. In 1989, the trio released their first album, 3 Feet High and Rising. De La Soul was an instant success and the album was certified platinum. Since their initial release, De La Soul has continued to play a prominent role in the music industry releasing six additional albums: De La Soul is Dead, Buhloone State of Mind, Stakes is High, AOI: Mosaic Thump and AOI: Bionix. During the course of their long-standing career, De La Soul have received Soul Train, MTV and Grammy award nominations. In addition to the many accolades they have received, De La Soul has been featured on numerous soundtracks including: Men in Black, Judgment Night and Dexter’s Lab"
