Gorgon City are North London producers Matt & Kye. Their already distinctive sound is a logical development of the duo’s individual work as RackNRuin and Foamo. Hailing from the impressive Black Butter camp (who brought you Rudimental amongst others) and due to release their debut album in 2014 as a joint venture with Virgin / EMI, the pair are one of the most exciting and hotly tipped new acts in the ever-flourishing landscape of British club savvy pop. Gorgon City offered up a platform for the two producers to fuse the deeper sounds they’ve been excited by for years but until now didn’t have the opportunity to explore. Polished, powerful and party-minded, their sound very quickly caught the attention of tastemakers as disparate as; Annie Mac, Diplo, Eats Everything and Mistajam with their early explorations into this new venture. You can thank their long-standing love of jungle, house, grime, hip-hop and garage while growing up for this exciting meeting of musical minds; the sum of their many influences, inspirations and ideas. And right now they’ve only just scratched the surface. Their latest single ‘‘Ready For You Love’ received its first exclusive play on R1 recently as Zane Lowes ‘Hottest Record in the World’ and features the vocal talents of MNEK who co-wrote the track with Matt and Kye. It’s a track that further establishes Gorgon City’s ability in capturing stunning performances from their collaborators. MNEK’s soaring soulful delivery marries perfectly with the duo’s signature production touches, bringing together the beatific agility of two-step with the gravity and resonance of deep house, dropping into an instantly addictive chorus hook.
Gorgon City – Here For You (feat. Laura Welsh) – Live On MistaJam
The last few months have seen Gorgon City cement their repertoire as tent-shaking favorites internationally, with festival sets at Glastonbury, Parklife, Hideout, Global Gathering, SW4 and Isle of White. They have also had an all-summer residency at Space, Ibiza with Carl Cox and Ibiza Rocks and did a one off performance for the Radio 1 Ibiza weekend. They have freshly supported Rudimental on a ten date run in various Australian arenas and full UK Academy tour this autumn. Collaborations currently underway with Kiesza, Bipolar Sunshine, Jess Glynne, Josh Record, George Maple, Vicktor Taiwo and Meverick Sabre among notable others promise much more excitement to come from the duo in the coming months and into the album for 2014.
Gorgon City – Here For You ft. Laura Welsh
Gorgon City – Here For You ft. Laura Welsh Lyrics:
I know we’ll make it
I know we’ll make it through
One thing is for certain I’ll BE HERE for you
Don’t know you’re thinking
Don’t wasting what we do,
One thing is constant that I’ll BE HERE for you
We all go through changes, run to different places,
That doesn’t mean that we have to part
And when you feel like nobody’s on your side
Please believe I’m never too far
Never too far. Never too far. Never too far.
Never too far. Never too far. Never too far.
Never too far. Never too far.
I, I I will be here for you. I will be here for you.
I, I I will be here for you. I will be here for you.
Where do we sunshine, where the heavy rain
Who’s on the pressure I had reason …
We all go through changes, run to different places,
That doesn’t mean that we have to part
And when you feel like nobody’s on your side
Please believe I’m never too far
Never too far. Never too far. Never too far.
Never too far. Never too far. Never too far.
Never too far. Never too far…
I, I I will be here for you. I will be here for you.
I, I I will be here for you. I will be here for you.
I will be here for YOU . I, I I will be here for you.
I will be here for YOU. I, I I will be here for you.
I will be here for YOU.
I’ll BE HERE for you. I will be here for YOU
And when you cast away and you feel like home,
I’ll try to find you. I’ll try to catch you!
I, I I will be here for you. I will be here for you.
I, I I will be here for you. I will be here for you.
I, I I will be here for you. I will be here for you.
I, I I will be here for you. I will be here for you.
I will be here for you.
