Cat#: GOMMA DT025
Release date: 27 December 2010

We are happy to release the first Gomma E.P. of 24 year old electronic funk talent Alan1 from Rome. Concertmate includes 3 new tunes + a remix by Bobermann (from Bloody Beatroots). Included also is Sniff Them: A heavy functional clubtune that already was released on an limited vinyl edition by Final Frontier Records. The track can cause big damage on the dancefloor…but only a few people could get hold of it till now..so Gomma decided to release it again.

But the real special thing are the other tracks: Alan1 makes music that is some times serious, then ironic, melodic but still groove oriented. Analogue synths and digital post-production… electro-funk, Chicago, electronica, jazzdisco, acid-house… Whatever you call it.. it is simply sexy Italian dancefloor music… it sounds new and it sounds nice.

Robert Owens: “Great tracks!”
Matt Walsh: “He has a very distinct sound and is fast becoming my favorite artist on Gomma.”
Bottin: “Good stuff”
Tape To Tape: “Love the Alan1 release, great mix of jacking disco funk.”

Release date: 17 December 2010

This week we release the debut EP of the two super talented boys of Mercury. Mercury’s qualities first got discovered by Dutch illustrator Parra, who offered the Swiss producer duo to remix his band’s LE LE track “Breakfast”. The result was heavy supported by DJ Mehdi, Shir Khan, A-Trak and many others and became a true hit on Gomma Records.

Now – after having also remixed Steed Lord, Tom Trago’s B.R.U.C.E. project, Munk, Homework, and Rodion, Mercury come up with a first own E.P. “God d’Azur”. Pure, smooth, effective, instrumental, dirty Housemusic.

Including remixes by Amsterdam’s wunderkind Tom Trago and Made To Play high flyers Round Table Knights.
