Black Grape

# Black Grape

Black Grape emerged from Salford in 1993 as a pivotal force in the alternative dance scene, uniting veterans from Happy Mondays and Ruthless Rap Assassins. The group's distinctive sound blends funk grooves with electronic rock elements, layered with innovative programming and sampled textures that defined mid-90s electronic music.

Known for their high-energy productions and genre-blending approach, Black Grape bridged the gap between dance floor functionality and alternative credibility. Their work exemplifies the era's experimental approach to combining organic funk elements with cutting-edge electronic production, leaving a lasting impact on UK electronic and dance music.
