Finally the long awaited remix package of Joe Goddards ‘Gabriel’ feat. Valentina which is one of the stand out tracks in 2011 has landed at the cutTheNoize office to share it with you peeps. It includes of course the much talked about Soulwax Remix which actually was a late xmas present from the Deweale bros to Joe and which got already championed by Erol Alkan in his January top10. Further we have a funktastic version from The Aston Shuffle complete with calypso feeling and a mad acid bubbling rework from Berlin based Jan Driver (Boys Noize Rec.). This massive package is closed by another brilliant Drum n Bass interpretation from Calibre being already hammered by big players such as DJ Friction and the BBC1 crew.
Greco-Roman and Bitclap! join hands to bring you the first solo material by Joe Goddard in over 18 months and give it an official full release very soon. ‘Gabriel’ has already turned into a true underground anthem that has been hammered over the last months from hippsters across genres such as King Britt, AME, Tensnake, Soul Clap, Simian Mobile Disco, Brodinsky, Crookers, Erol Alkan just to name a few.
Joe Goddard is surely one of the busiest men in the world of electronic music: writer and producer behind the world-conquering Hot Chip, acclaimed solo artist, travelsome DJ, prolific remixer, one half of the emerging 2 Bears house duo and one of the founding members of the Greco-Roman record label and party collective. So where does he find the time to make an EP of electronica so sweet? In bed, that’s where.
Fitting, then, that Goddard’s first solo material in 18 months should open with a chorus of angels, before title track ‘Gabriel’ strides confidently into familiar territory of London’s clubland and its rich musical influences; this time Goddard choosing Gospel and House as his parameters. The ‘Gabriel’ EP is the first taster of a solo album to be expected for end of this year.
