This is not Techno! This is an Opera! (Peaches about Barotti)

Barotti’s debut album out now on Gomma. Barotti is a musician and contemporary multimedia artist based in Berlin. Doing urban sound installations, performing arts and experimental music. On his debut album Barotti is opening up a new dimension in the vast field between contemporary classical and electronic music. Armed with iconic analog gear of the 1970s, a hand-picked group of high level classical string and horn players that were recorded between Marocco and Berlin.

“Rising” stands firmly with one foot in the same mood as Woodkid and Sohn, and the other foot dipping into the past 200 years of classical music, resting in a lukewarm cocktail of Funkstörung and James Blake.

An amazing and unique work. A soundtrack full of fantastic futuristic sonic fairytales. Epic, electronic and symphonic.

We are excited to announce the release of the debut album from Justin Robertson’s The Deadstock 33s, set to drop on March 1st 2013.

The Deadstock 33s is the most recent incarnation of British DJ legend Justin Robertson. Over the past three decades Robertson has helped shape the direction of dance music many times; from his underground DJ sets in Manchester’s early Hacienda days to his Dancehall Techno releases of Lionrock, through his last years partnership with shooting star Daniel Avery (several releases on Gomma). Since one year Justin is back with his The Deadstock 33s project. And everybody wants him: he did remixes for Justice, 2 Bears, Boys Noize. He did a FABRIC mix. Now Robertson is ready to unleash the debut album from The Deadstock. Dub techno, Slo Mo Boogie, Futuristic Disco… whatever you call this – as always Justin is 3 steps ahead.

„Tune of the month“ (MixMag/UK November 2012)

Today we finally release the Moullinex debut album FLORA. After several singles over the last years. The album is a 60 minute collection of new songs that mixes the warm Moullinex sound with influences from Motown soul, great 80ies Pop, DiscoFunk and today’s electronic music. Vocals by Moullinex aka Luis Clara Gomez himself, Peaches (on the „Maniac/Flashdance“ cover) and some other great singers.

Essentially FLORA is a dance album, but it is neither a retro pastiche as you have heard it so many times the last years, nor a cold modern imitation of the old sound. Luis has delivered a wonderfully selection of songs that marry timeless melodies with a deft production touch to create an LP that is brimming with positivity. In fact: Flora was recorded in Portugal. Not far from the beach. And knowing this fact you might better understand this sunny vibe of the album.

Moullinex puts some soul back into electro. And Gomma is proud to release such a forward-thinking record.

The ’Indie disco answer to Adele’ and ‘The key band of the New Disco scene”. That’s how The KDMS have been described.

Yes – there is a lot of buzz around Kathy Diamond‘s and Max Skiba‘s band. And if you listen to their debut album you will understand why. A band that connects today’s club music with amazing song writing and the unique voice of great Soul Diva.

Pop, underground, forward thinking and retro at the same time. Music that catches you immediately. That’s probably why they became a favorite of some big pop artists of today. For example: Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip. He teamed up with Justus Köhncke from Kompakt and they did a cover version of the new single “Wonderman”. (On the album). Also the rework that Morgan Geist from Metro Area did for a song is so huge that we have put it on the album.
But… we are talking to much! You have to hear this yourself!

Here it comes: Box Codax. The solo project of Nick McCarthy – man on the guitar in Franz Ferdinand. The NME and many others already raved about this new album that was also partly produced by Metronomy: One of the most extravagant and colorful Rock/Folk albums of these days. Imagine Zappa in the studio with Arcade Fire and Roy Orbison.

In fact Box Codax is a band consisting of 3 members: Nick McCarthy and his longtime friends: poet and singer Alex Ragnew and Nick’s wife Manuela Gernedel. It’s a family record. It starts with some raw rock’n rolly disco and ends in the most beatiful melancholic ballads you can imagine. Aditional mixing, drum programming and other things by legendary ACDC engineer Mike Fraser and Modica & Imbery from Gomma.

Together they are Le Le and combine graphic art with dirty electronic funk…inspired by Nu-Wave Disco, Italo, 90ies Pop clichés and 60s Glamour magazines..with a big pop appeal and a good sense of irony. Using a new language: a combination of English, Dutch, German, French and fantasy words.

The album includes the two pre–album singles Disco Monster and Breakfast. Both songs have been getting heavy talks on the blogs and full-on DJ support from DJ Mehdi, Headman, Erol and others.

Inspired by Nu-Wave Disco, Italo Disco, Pop clichés and 60s Glamour magazines: Le Le is a unique force. The music, the vocals, the sense of humour, the ironic take on current mainstream glam pop, the art background and their attitude. A straightforward progression for the current disco/house movement.

Le Classics is available on CD and as a limited edition 5-track album sampler (including special Parra poster).

Here it comes! The new album of WhoMadeWho: The Plot! Forget all the UK Top 10 bands form last year who tried to sound like the 3 Danish guys…here comes the original!  And they are everywhere right now: The guys are on the cover of the most important music magazines all over Europe, playing the big festivals and getting props from all the important blogs.

Remember? The guys’ career started in 2006. Back then their first singles (Satisfaction.. and Flat Beat – the cover!) and their self-titled debut album was released on Gomma Records. They started to be the favorite band of a lot of big acts: LCD Soundsystem, Soulwax, Franz Ferdinand–yes even Daft Punk chose them as support act for their tours. And Josh Homme from Queens Of The Stone Age covered their single Space For Rent.

It is the perfect match: Gomma records and the three completely different musical characters of WhoMadeWho: Jeppe Kjellberg – the walrus bearded guitar player, has been part of the New Yorks experimental Rock and Jazz scene for years. He has even recorded a mini album with David Tronzo – guitar player of the legendary Lounge Lizards. Tomas Høffding – the bass man with the falsetto voice, has his roots in the Scandinavian Garage Rock scene (but always has been in love with fat disco bass lines). And Tomas Barfod aka Tomboy is not only the drummer of the band but he’s also known for producing some of the hottest Advanced Electro/ House music of the moment for labels such as Turbo, Kitsune and Get Physical.

Now, here’s the band’s new album. 13 songs that are the perfect example for a band who uses a tiny production budget to widen, expand and multi-colorize their sound without losing their soul. There’s a sexual and sensual authenticity to the breathed echoes of their first album. 13 songs which, when heard by Christian Wright – the legendary engineering-maestro at London’s Abbey Road studios – lead to the point that he at all costs wanted to master this record by himself.

The Danish guys created a brand new pop sound influenced by early 70ies Progrock as well as the complex side of disco music, with a very rough DIY pop approach and some well integrated electronic bits and drum sounds. Check the videos by Simon Owens (The Plot and TV Friend) and Chicks On Speed (This Train).

Tracklist:
1) TV Friend
2) The Plot
3) Small Town City
4) Trickster
5) Keep Me In My Plane
6) This Train
7) Office Clerk
8) Ode To Joy
9) Motown Bizarre
10) I Lost My Voice
11) Cyborg
12) Raveo
13) Working After Midnight

After 7 years of intensive producing HEADMAN hardly needs any introduction! Always ahead of his time ROBI INSINNA was a pioneer of the punk-funk / rave disco movement with his mates of DFA and PLAYGROUP a few years ago when releasing his first album It Rough on Gomma Records. Since then he developed into one of the world’s hottest remixer who is always two steps ahead of the current music fashions.

HEADMAN’s third album Catch Me again shows the new developments in the HEADMAN sound. He fused his trademark Punk Disco with new Indie influences and a always hard kickin electro beat. Catch Me includes the 2 hit-singles Running Into Time and Catch Me if U Can which already got the props of great DJs everywhere. Catch Me If U Can also appeared on the Kitsuné Boom Box compilation.

The album also highlights the voice of JEREMY KERR of legendary band A CERTAIN RATIO on Dreampieces and of ANTON SPIVAC, who also lent his voice for HEADMAN’s Moisture, on the track Come On. The whole album brings a new breath of life in the world of Pop and dance music, breaking some barriers, mixing up indie vibes with an electro attitude and with a little bit of Bowie and Eno in it too… as it was completely produced in Berlin legendary HANSA Studios where artists such as Bowie and Iggy Pop got their legendary 70ies sound from.

1) Catch Me If U Can
2) Running Into Time
