Audioengine, the international audio company known for handcrafted Home Music Systems and a mission to inspire daily listening, has named GudGroove as the second artist in its New Pick spotlight series. Audioengine’s New Pick is dedicated to discovering, amplifying, and reintroducing bold new voices in music while connecting listeners to artists who push sound forward.
As a music company, Audioengine believes that great sound starts with great music. The New Pick series exists to champion working artists and create opportunities for them to reach wider audiences. This initiative extends the Tune In series, which explores the science, culture, and real-world impact of music and reflects the company’s commitment to keeping music at the center of everything it builds.
New Pick: GudGroove
GudGroove is an 18-year-old DJ and producer from Louisville, Kentucky whose traction in the past year has been impossible to ignore. He has opened for Diplo, perform back-to-back with Xandra, played the Columbus Ohio Breakaway Music Festiva, and stepped onto major stages that most artists reach much later in their careers. His sound balances high-energy drops, sharp percussion, and clean transitions. It is precise, heavy when it needs to be, and focused on movement.
