issn = 1555-3264"Grooves" is an American
electronic music magazine founded in1999 by editorSean Portnoy , initially concentrating on the then-burgeoning IDM music genre and expanding to its more experimental, abstract offshoots, such asmicrosound ,microhouse andglitch , eventually encompassing a global view of musicians and cross-cultural influences that is reflected in coverage of jungle, two-step, avant rap,broken beat and other offbeat new music.Early issues contained a vast range of full-length album and 12" single/
EP reviews; later issues added new media release types, including reviews of books andDVD -based documentary and music video film releases. Additionally, each issue contained several artist interviews and label profiles, evaluations of new and offbeat digital and analog hardware and software tools for making electronic music, and coverage of live performances and festivals throughout the United States, Canada, South America and Europe.Catalog
The first eighteen issues were printed and distributed worldwide through record stores and by subscription roughly three times a year. In December 2005, after 18 issues, the magazine switched to an exclusively online format.
