The Barking Dogs – Your High feat. Tom Trago (12″)

Cat#: Gomma 176
Release: 16 November 2012

Milanese duo The Barking Dogs return to the Gomma label for a superb new single featuring Rush Hour’s Tom Trago and Young Marco and a remix from the ever-excellent Analogue Cops. Warm bass, heavily delayed claps and skittering percussion work around subtle vocal edits, abstract piano chords and sonic sweeps to wonderful effect and create a record that has a truly unique feel. The original is backed up with a remix from Italy’s The Analogue Cops who create a mix that is a wonderful fusion of live elements and techno sensibilities, sublime stuff.

Mercury – God d’Azur (Maxi)

Mercury-God-d-Azur2

Cat#: GOMMA DT023
Release date: 17 December 2010

This week we release the debut EP of the two super talented boys of Mercury. Mercury’s qualities first got discovered by Dutch illustrator Parra, who offered the Swiss producer duo to remix his band’s LE LE track “Breakfast”. The result was heavy supported by DJ Mehdi, Shir Khan, A-Trak and many others and became a true hit on Gomma Records.

Now – after having also remixed Steed Lord, Tom Trago’s B.R.U.C.E. project, Munk, Homework, and Rodion, Mercury come up with a first own E.P. “God d’Azur”. Pure, smooth, effective, instrumental, dirty Housemusic.

Including remixes by Amsterdam’s wunderkind Tom Trago and Made To Play high flyers Round Table Knights.
