Gomma Records


I’ve been getting some sweet promos as of late from Gomma Records, just got the KDMS “Wonderman” remixes by ALEXIS & JUSTUS (aka Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip and Justus Köhncke from Kompakt) which are pretty cool.

My partner and I (Drrtyhaze) actually had our first ep release on Gomma back in 2008 titled the “Voodoo EP”; my how time flies.

Some of my personal favorites: Mercury – Candlelight feat. Robert Owens, the Morgan Geist remix of KDMS and the latest Dmitri from Paris offerings are pretty hot. Check’em out here

Happy Birthday Arthur Baker

Purveyor of proto-fresstlye, electro funk, synth pop, house and some of the more definitive pop music of the 1980s (Cindy Lauper). But what’s really important is at the age of 57, this man still has his trademark head of hair intact. I guess you can have it all.

Great interview on the man’s history, on DJ history
