MR GROOVE & VERGAS established their first contact on a cold December afternoon,back in 1997. MR GROOVE was on a quest to find quality local producers for a compilation with strictly Portuguese artists called “A FINE PORTUGUESE SELECTION” and VERGAS was recommended by a mutual friend. VERGAS impressed MR GROOVE,not only with his material,but with the quality of ideas and production skills present on his tracks. In a joint venture with MCA,the compilation was released and became a fantastic success,selling more than 15.000 copies in Portugal only. MR GROOVE vs THE FOX "DANCE PLANET" was the single chosen to push over the radio waves. The track became so huge that it won the best dance music production of 1998 at the RADIO NOVA ERA AWARDS voted by the listeners.
Over the next few years,MR GROOVE dj'ed at some of the best clubs and parties around Portugal,whilst VERGAS played live. The chemistry between both was so strong that soon they become best friends and partners in music. They then produced several singles for PARADISE RECORDS and remixed some of the biggest mainstream Portuguese artists. As a consequence of that,they decided to do a more dance/pop oriented group who they call THE FUNKEYS. They choose MARIANA as the vocalist and soon a full album was ready. It went on to be played heavily on radio and appear at the most viewed tv shows in the land. They also performed at many live gigs of note,including for 16,000 people at the infamous RADIO CIDADE concert in Lisbon.
MR GROOVE & VERGAS then decided to make efforts to take their sound even further. their next goal was to take their sound on the International stage. The duo invited ROBERT to perform in a song called “BE THE STAR IN MY LIFE”,and just one month later,the track was signed to the German label GROOVE YA (DRIZZLY MUSIC). The first promos are served and soon guys like DAFT PUNK,ARMAND VAN HELDEN,ROGER SANCHEZ,FRANKIE KNUCKLES and DAVID MORALES are all playing it in their sets. RESULT!!!! The track went on to appear on several compilations worldwide. For the follow up contact was first made with the amazing American singer DEANNA DELLACIOPPA,who performs on the "FUNKY GROOVE" track,also put out on DRIZZLY MUSIC. it went on to achieve even more success across the airwaves and in clubs around the world. As a consequence of that,a series of tracks are agreed to be written by the 3 in the future.
Skip forward to 31 December 2002: A new track is finished and played on a private new year's eve party for their friends. The reactions are more than great and “BLACK & WHITE” was born. Signed to YOSHITOSHI by ALI & SHARAM aka DEEP DISH and played at their 2003 WMC party at SPACE,the track soon captures the attention of the media being considered one of the top tracks of the conference that year. MR GROOVE & VERGAS get the recognition they deserve and the doors of other big labels are now open for them.
Under names like DEEP AREA,DISCO FREAKS,PURE FUNK,THE BOOGEYMAN,DR BEAT and THE NIGHT RIDERS,their tracks regularly appear in the boxes and playlists of the best Dj..s and producers around the world,and one of their tunes,"MAD LOVE FOR YA",put out on SUBLIMINAL SOUL was chosen to be used in the final episode of the acclaimed HBO series SEX AND THE CITY,for use worldwide.
In 2005, the duo is nominated by the readers of the prestigious Portuguese magazine DANCE CLUB for best national producers.
Right now, MR GROOVE continues to work hard to please all his fans, and build his reputation as one of the finest Portuguese exports.

Over And Over
Mr. Groove Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I haven't said it all
What you did, we'll never know
And I'm left waiting, waiting for your Love
Not everything is as it seems
No, it ain't over
You, you, want to throw
All we've done, and how we've shined away
Just give me, gimme, a fighting chance
Not everything
Every story, every moment
Is as it seems
Yes, I'm feelin' sorry
And who knows who's wrong here
Yet you bring out the best in me
Every feeling, every notion
'Til I draw my last breath
Give us a chance to be
It ain't over
Give us a chance to be
It ain't over
Give us a chance to be
It ain't over
Give us a chance to be
It ain't over
The song "Over and Over" by Mr. Groove explores themes of lost love and regret. The lyrics describe the singer's attempt to find love in the eyes of a former lover, but they find that there are no words that can capture what they're looking for. Despite this, the singer still remembers the small details about their former lover and the things they loved about them. The song then revisits a conversation they had in the past about not kissing because of the fear of spreading a cold, which now seems like an excuse for the former lover's changing attitude.
The song then discusses the singer's struggles with understanding what it means to be truly "manly," as they reflect on their past failures and missed opportunities. However, they express a desire to become like the clouds in a sunset, which is a poignant metaphor for freedom and beauty. As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that they loved everything about their former lover, imperfections included, but that their love wasn't enough to prevent them from leaving. In the end, the singer comes to terms with the fact that their love and memories of their former lover will always be a part of them, even though they must say goodbye.

on White Light
I first heard this song in the middle of the night, running through the mountains of Central California, training for a race. The sky was clear and the air was cool and still. In those days I was at a place in my life where I was immobilized in my career and fostered a culture of melancholy on the daily.
As I trudged through the grassy trails on the hilltops, I heard the piano play and the eurobeats synthesize. And then the words.
No sound nor chorus so profound and simple has wrought the unique sensations of hope through resiliency than White Light. When we’re surrounded in darkness and our minds in a negative place contrive diminishing thoughts, we lose hope and can give up. But every time I hear the ”white light”, I look around me and see cold white lights of a halogen lamp on the street, an LED sign or biker’s headlight. Then the sunshine, golden and warm. But that’s not where the hope actualizes..
For me, it’s the idea everyone seeing me right. I imagine the communities of people I know all around me smiling, smouldering, gazing my way, and commending me for what I’ve done and stand for. That moment in my eyes and heart, I’ll have the proof that I did right, no matter the evil that others and even myself will think of me.
The white light is all around us, and in our hearts. I know you see the white light.
