Having scored two Top 10 hits with their recent singles ‘Ready For Your Love’ feat. MNEK and ‘Here For You’ feat. Laura Welsh, plus a third with them in the production seat on Jess Glynne’s ‘Right Here’, Gorgon City are pleased to announce details of their next surefire smash and plans for their eagerly awaited debut album.
Continuing their run of exceptionally hooky and danceable smart pop hits, ‘Unmissable’ featuring rising star Zak Abel will lead the charge into the release of Gorgon City’s debut album ‘Sirens’ on October 6. A co-write between Matt & Kye and a songwriter with a recent hit or two of his own under his belt - Jimmy Napes (Disclosure’s ‘Latch’, Clean Bandit’s ‘Rather Be’, Sam Smith’s ‘Stay With Me’ – to name just a few) – ‘Unmissable’ is the perfect way to see out the summer.
Gorgon City kicked off their summer with their first ever live show performing to 8000 people at Radio 1’s Big Weekend featuring live performances from Kiesza, Maverick Sabre, MNEK. They continued apace by heading to Glastonbury and have shows at Reading & Leeds, Global Gathering and Bestival forthcoming as well as a hectic schedule mapped out in front of them across Europe. Look out for news of an extensive tour this autumn.
‘Sirens’ – the full album from Gorgon City – will include all previous hit singles (NB ‘Ready For Your Love’ has now accumulated over 26 million streams) as well as a remarkable collection of new tracks that unequivocally mark Matt & Kye out as being at the very peak of their writing and production prowess. ‘Sirens’ is a brilliantly cohesive piece of music that perfectly reflects the exciting UK dance pop climate we find ourselves in for 2014 - with Gorgon City firmly at the helm.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The best record label in the alternative house scene at the moment is Black Butter. The label has its own stage at the TomorrowWorld festival in USA and the success is not mater of luck or coincidence. It is rather the belief and support on great talents that deserve a voice and have something interesting to say with their music and lyrics. The hottest artist of the label are Gorgon City. The fantastic duo deliver stunning anthems and music that matters. Soulful revival 90's house music with futuristic cutting edge that pushes boundaries and revitalises what seems to be the next big thing for the mainstream. Unmissable includes the soulful brilliant vocals by Zak Abel who is new in my books and very promising for the future as the track will reach top position at the UK Top 40. Massive wobbly dark UK garage house bassline, sweet synthy melodies and warm 90's piano chords with attitude and confidence makes Unmissable a hit guaranteed for the cold autumn nights. The remix package is extensive with some top eclectic remixes. Dj Anna translates the original into a deep dark underground moody industrial techno odyssey that floats nicely including the top vocals minus the happy piano melodies. Pulsating boiling bassline that stands out so better don't miss it. Drum'n'bass is alive and kicking and on this package is represented by Metrik who delivers the energetic, danceable and absolutely liquid flowing version that will carry you away for a surprising journey on the dancefloor. Huxley remix goes the UK garage house pathway and the result includes pounding basslines, chunky grooves and rave style influences to keep the ground shaking. Last but not least Everything Everything remix present the more experimental electronic punk version perfect for those lounge chill out times when you want something to keep you going in a relaxed manner but with some intense moments as well to keep you awake. If you add on the package the imaginative music video is going to be another hit record for Gorgon City. #PureGold Love iT
