ARTIST OF THE WEEK: Gorgon City
In honor of their pop-up warehouse show on Saturday (10/2), this week’s Artist of the Week is the UK production duo (Matt Robson Scott and Kye Gibbon). They met through their old shared agent at The Fat Agency, and they were both going through creative blocks before teaming up. When started making music together, they could easily bounce ideas off each other and started finishing tracks in days. Soon after, they signed a major record deal with Virgin Records and transitioned from parents’ basements and local clubs to major studios and international tours. Through Virgin, they learned how to work with vocalists, song writers, choirs, musicians and more, and they fine tuned iconic, bouncy, bass driven sound which often mixes bass, tech, and melodic house music. Now, they spend around two weeks per year working with singers, writers and musicians in LA, building a catalog of songs, melodies, and samples that they can use in future songs.
Matt and Kye also started their own record label, Realm Records, in late 2017 in an effort to leave a lasting footprint on the international house music scene. For them, the label is all about finding and develop undiscovered acts, and they’ve been regularly releasing undiscovered music for over two years now. Originality and emotion is what they look for most, and the sound of the label is “anything you might hear in a Gorgon City DJ set” (they also play with a band at their live shows).
You can catch a Gorgon City THIS SATURDAY in DC at the Nu Androids Ai Secret Warehouse show.
