Claptone & Groove Armada in Abu Dhabi

Claptone is a German house DJ and producer who performs in a gold, beaked mask. The project is known for the single “No Eyes” featuring Jaw and the albums Charmer, Fantast and Closer. The Masquerade began in 2016 as Claptone’s recurring party concept and later became an Ibiza residency at Pacha. Claptone presents these shows as masked DJ sets built around house and deep house. Claptone has performed at Coachella in California and appeared at multiple editions of Tomorrowland in Belgium. The masked house set has also featured at Creamfields.

Groove Armada are a British electronic duo formed in London in 1996 by Andy Cato and Tom Findlay. Their music ranges across house, downtempo and pop-oriented dance, and they are known for tracks including “At the River,” “I See You Baby” and “Superstylin’,” as well as the albums Vertigo and Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub). Groove Armada took Black Light on tour in 2010 as a full live band and also used that format for appearances at Glastonbury. In 2022, they mounted a UK run billed as their final full-band tour, concluding at O2 Academy Brixton.
