Groovkilla's first cd "Manga" was released in 2004. . "Manga" was inspired by the music of Kraftwerk, the Art of Noise, Basement Jaxx, Prince Paul and the Chemical Brothers.
"Groovkilla "Manga" came about because of my love for electronic music and anime. The name "Groovkilla" is a take on "Godzilla". My 50 foot, fire-breathing monster is music. That's why the artwork for the disc is in manga-style. It's an homage to Masamune Shirow." "The tracks on Manga are a hodge-podge of styles-more mainstream electronica and groove-oriented. It's as if you were club-hopping on Washington Blvd. in South Beach."
