Whether you're playing in the snow or playing your favorite music, the staff at Groove Addicts wishes you joy this holiday season.
 To prove that the Honda Pilot can go anywhere on earth- even below ground, into a Hellish underworld -- Groove Addicts composer Don Davis (all 3 The Matrix movies) drew on his background scoring thrillers to create a fiendishly suspenseful musical track. "Subterranean," a commercial out of Rubin Postaer, Santa Monica, Calif., was directed by famed spot director Kinka Usher. "We were excited to bring Don's world-renowned sound to another campaign," says Groove Addicts Creative Director/Owner Dain Blair. "Don Davis is one of the hottest feature film composers out there at the moment. His rich, atmospheric sound helps to make this commercial stand out in the crowded automotive category."
In "Subterranean," a father pulls into a parking lot, and passes the first available spot, driving down to perilous lower levels, where it looks as if they are entering the underworld, to his children's chagrin.

 Groove Addicts' composers Chris DeStefano and Bryan Velasco turned up the Latin heat when asked by Telemundo network executives to create a youthful and edgy network image ID package. "Telemundo was looking for something to transcend the boundaries of the different styles of Latin music," says DeStefano. Says Telemundo's Manuel Villa, "Groove Addicts' composers were great pleasure to work with. For the promo ID package, the first group of selections they came back with were very diverse across all genres." In responding to Telemundo's notes, "the composers totally nailed it," Vila said. The vibrant Spanish-language network serves up entertainment, sports and news for the fast growing Hispanic population in the U.S., reaching 91% of households in the U.S.

 "Extreme Makeover's producers wanted a big warm orchestral sound, and that's what we gave them," says Dain Blair of Groove Addicts' second season scoring reality TV mega hits, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" and "Extreme Makeover." For the latter, GA composers Ron Bolton and Dain Blair, writers of the series' new theme, and composer Brad Chiet, recorded much of their music with a live rhythm section in Los Angeles and then overdubbed the Prague Symphony Orchestra. Renowned for having some of the best Czech and international conductors and soloists, the venerable Prague Symphony celebrates its 70th anniversary this year.
