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!
Classixx and Arthur Baker, Peaches and Munk on one record! What a Gomma combination!
The Gommagang had reworked some tracks from the Casablanca Records catalogue (Donna Summer, Michael Sembello, …) for the Casablanca Reworks EP (in cooperation with Burn Studios), here are the remixes: Classixx did one of their rare remixes for Munk‘s “You Can’t Run From My Love”. Arthur Baker made an awesome jam on The Phenomenal Handclap Band‘s “Walk The Night” .. as did Mercury and Telonius. Extra remixes by Hugo Capablanca, Peez Daws and Gojira. Holy package!
Here comes a nice little old school video by Flo Decker for the cover version of The KDMS‘s “Wonderman”. Covered by Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip and Justus Köhncke from Kompakt.
The original version is around 10 minutes… the video version only 3.. but its a quite nice little camp trip…. check it out! Album is out on 11 May 2012.
