Groove Criminals is a UK-based sample production team operating out of a studio in Suffolk, led by programmer, producer, and occasional DJ MR Hoodee. The outfit specializes in royalty-free sample material drawn from a mix of vintage, handmade, and circuit-bent hardware, and has been a long-running contributor of cover-mount sample content for Future Music and Computer Music magazines.

Their catalog centers on compact, low-cost sample packs under the Groove Criminals Essentials banner, with releases such as Analogue Synth FX and Analogue Synth Percussion built from hardware including the Roland SH-101, Moog Little Phatty, and Vermona DRM1. Alongside the Essentials line they have produced single-hit drum packs, breakbeat collections, and themed sets covering delay effects, digital drums, and other electronic production staples.

Beyond sample work, the team contributes to music technology journalism and releases original records, with a catalog that spans breakbeat, house, and electronica available through outlets like Beatport and SoundCloud.
