A new Gomma podcast by up and coming Munich house kids Rhode & Brown. They released two EPs on Gomma sublabel Toy Tonics. The last one just came out: The Palace EP – including a great remix by Glenn Astro (you might know him from his works with Max Graef on “Box aus Holz” Records).
Rhode & Brown make great futuristic 4/4 tracks. They are kids – just passed their 20ies – but have a huge knowledge of dancemusic. Just listen to this mix and you can understand: There is much more then just dropping the latest Beatport hits.
Tracklist:
1. Hamo – Whole Train
2. The Ahmad Jamal Trio – Dolphin Dance
3. Masta Ace – The Stoop (Skit)
4. Detroit Jazz Composers Ltd. – Yes Lord
5. Wu-Tang vs. Beatles (Skit)
