Thomass Jackson – Smog City EP (Gomma204)

Cat#: Gomma204
Release: 3 October 2014

Thomass Jackson is a new entry in the Gomma crew. His style? Outsider House – or let’s call it: Sex House! Soo funky and spartanic at the same time – you want to go straight to make babies!
Thomass is part of the new vibrant Mexico City electronic scene. Like most of the Gomma artists he comes from playing in bands before getting into electronic music: Bass, guitar, drums – in Funk bands. And he is kind of a cultural nerd (like many guys on Gomma): Movies, books – the crazier they are the more he knows about them. Be ready – this man is serious!
