Groove was a film independently produced near the tail end of "electronica as the next big thing" craze in the United States.

The cast is filled with unknowns in the film industry, save a quick cameo appearance by UK trance superstar John Digweed. It was written and directed by Greg Harrison. The companies that produced it were 415 Productions and Groove, LLC.

Groove was first shown at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival. Soon after, it was picked up for national distribution in the United States by Sony Pictures Classics.

The film details a supposedly typical weekend in the San Francisco underground warehouse party scene. Some guys pick out an abandoned warehouse, pick the locks, figure out an electrical situation, and gather the necessary supplies, DJs, and people (massage therapists, people manning water fountains, a crowd).

In the process of finding a crowd, the promoters ensnare a crusty New York old-time scenestress, a pair of gay men who are trying desperately to celebrate their anniversary, a candied-up raver girl who isn't expecting the surprise her boyfriend has planned for her, and said boyfriend's journalist brother who has never been to a rave. Of course, the requisite sketchy characters and drug dealing chemistry students show up ("Huh, I'd like to buy a vowel.")

Unfortunately, this film is a bit lacking. The characters are hardly developed at all, and the few scenes of the party that show dancing are EXTREMELY sparsely populated, and none of the dancers seem to be any good at all.

Of course the fact that the promoters instantly create a brand new crowd for JOHN DIGWEED playing in a dumpy warehouse in San Francisco (who probably has every Saturday night booked for the next 6 months at least) is a bit suspicious.
