by John BushYet another young name to add to the roster of soulful Detroit techno proteges who work in elements of house, Scott Grooves played keyboards for Kevin Saundersons Inner City before working on production under his own name, with singles and an LP for Soma Records. While Grooves was growing up, his jazz-musician father influenced him to begin playing drums, keyboards and guitar. Though he continued to stress his musicianship, Grooves time with Inner City and working in Record Time — Detroits prime shop for techno — inspired him towards techno instead of jazz. After Scotlands Soma Records released his debut single A New Day in 1997, the following year brought a full-length, Pieces of a Dream.
