WhoMadeWho – Keep Me In My Plane Remixes (12″)

Release: 15 June 2009
Cat#: Gomma 128

After the first single THE PLOT now here comes the follow up KEEP ME IN MY PLANE. A downtempo disco track that could remind of early Talking Heads… but goes much further. It got a clear touch of Scandinavian Pop – but without being cheesy as so much of the music we get from the North. Remixes come courtesy of German Superstar Rmxer DJ KOZE (the first remix after his remix compilation on Get Physical) and Danish upcoming master of new House KASPER BJÖRKE.

“Brilliant!” Erol Alkan
“This is really great. I love the Gomma guys. Need more music like this!” A-Trak

Tracklist:
A) DJ Koze Remix
B1) Original 12″ Edit
B2) Kasper Björke Remix
