Renegade Rhythms Presents Moods and Grooves & Trackmode Recording Artist Mike Grant to Portland, August 5th Moods and Grooves Records "While thinking of a name for the label one really struck me, Moods & Grooves. It's able to express more than one feeling or vibe. That's my vision of a label, sometimes its tracks are moody and deep, other times they're groovy, uptempo, or harder. A name like Moods & Grooves gives you that flexibility…" - Mike Grant It starts in Detroit with a vision… Moods & Grooves Records was created by Mike Grant.
