The inventive duo behind the Gruv, DJ /Producer David D., a.k.a. "D-Gruv", the Mechatransducer and DJ/lyricist Julia P. a.k.a. "Sambarella" joined forces in 2001, coming together under the names DJDavid Seneca and Lady Apostrophe.
The duo quickly established themselves in the New York City music
scene, gaining recognition for their eclectic DJ sets and range, and
ability to excite the ears of diverse audiences, whether at a club,
lounge, rave, fashion
or art show.
As the duo began exploring ways to enhance
their DJ sets with live elements, with the aim to partner electronic
grooves with instrumentation and vocals. In 2003 they met Big Game
James who began joining the DJs each week, in between sets at their
weekly party in Long Island City, dropping free-style rhymes over hip
hop instrumentals. With three turntables, two mixers and a microphone,
Gruv Gallery was born.
