Here comes a new Gomma Dance Tracks minicompilation with five unreleased dancefloor killers. Futuristic house and technoid Disco by 5 guys from 5 countries: Copyshop from France already released on Bearfunk and comes up with a huge vocal house anthem featuring NYC based singer Naommon. David Evangelos from Zurich is a old friend of Holy Ghost and the DFA gang. Now he comes up with his first tune. And you can imagine where the influence comes from….

Alan1 is a 24 year old genius from Rome. His first EP will come on Gomma this winter but his friend Bobermann – aka Bob Rifo of the Bloody Beatroots did this remix bomb for him which we can’t wait to release finally. Martin Brodin runs Swedish new house label Deeplay and comes with this heavy heavy house stomper, and Jack Tennis is one of Berlin’s leading House DJ’s , presenting his first tune on Gomma Dance Tracks.

Dimitri From Paris: “I like the Alan1 Bobermann remix, very effective Nu-Millenium Disco that will surely save my ass in many occasions!”

Shit Robot: “This is great, loving Happy Like Crazy.”

Diskokaine is back! The Vienna born – half NYC based – 25 year old ElectroDisco maniac and longtime Gommagang buddy with a worldwide fan crowd. The guy who discovered and released the first Sally Shapiro songs and last year had a huge single (Riminini). With the so much talked about remix by DJ Funk of legendary Dancemania records.

Currently Diskokaine aka DJ Marflow is busy between contributing to the production of the new Hercules & Love Affair album, djing around the planet – including gigs for Vice and even Marc Jacobs parties – and working on an album–with people such as Holy Ghost, Legowelt, Patrick Pulsinger and Mathias and Jonas from Gomma.

Here is his new release: a dark but funky – trancy but soulful dancefloor smasher. Includes remixes by Warsaw-based King of Kong, Sidechains, Hannulelauri, and a cowbell-laden alternative mix. Big support already by Pete Tong, Miss Kitten and many more.

One of our all time heroes The Rammellzee died last week. Rammellzee was one of the coolest guys of New York’s late 70ies and 80ies street art scene. He was a pioneer of Graffiti in the streets of New York and also one of the first dudes in Hip Hop culture. He wasn’t stuck in cliches as so many others in the Hip Hop world. No: Rammellzee always was interested in creating new things. So he brought spray art into a new level. Yes: He created his own world: Gothic Futurism. Consisting of crazy crazy muppets. Robots. Spaceships. An own language. Yes, a whole universe. For more then 30 years he just worked on this idea.

In 2002 Mathias and Jonas (Munk & Telonius) – our Gomma bosses met him in New York. He was looking for somebody who was young and would produce a soundtrack for his Gothic Futurism world. For over one year they worked on the 12 songs that late came out as “The Bi-conicals of The Rammellzee”. Stuart Argabright from Death Comet Crew, Tim Sweeney and others helped to create this crazy album.

Gomma is very sad. A great inspiration left the world. The Rammellzee R.I.P. …you were great, man!

Also here are 2 songs from the album.
