Denki Groove
is a Japanese music group founded in 1989. It consists of Takkyu Ishino and Pierre Taki.

History
Denki Groove was founded in 1989 by Takkyu Ishino and Pierre Taki, both of whom are natives of Shizuoka, Shizuoka Prefecture.

The group's major-label debut studio album, Flash Papa, was released in 1991, the first being 662 BPM by DG in 1990. They also released a few albums, including U.F.O. (1991), Karateka (1992), Vitamin (1993), Dragon (1994), Orange (1996), A (1997), and Voxxx (2000). Their single, "Shangri-La", had sold more than half a million copies. They went on hiatus between 2001 and 2004.

In 2019, Pierre Taki was arrested on suspicion of cocaine possession. In response, Sony Music Entertainment Japan took Denki Groove's recordings off the shelves and stopped streaming the group's music. Streaming services were resumed on June 19, 2020.
