Gorge makes his debut on Sudbeat with a brace of aural treats. Co-owner of the seminal House imprint 8Bit (with Nick Curly), DJ, producer, and founder of the 'Mannheim Sound', Gorge is an integral part of Germany's house music history. A drummer and keyboard player in his youth, the arrival of electronic music in the early '90s inspired Gorge to make dance music releasing on many big labels including Mobilee, Plastic City and Diynamic. His signature deep and groovy style has seen him branch out onto more progressive imprints such as Bedrock and Global Underground and techy labels such as Toolroom and Tronic Soundz. Opening with 'Osane' that no-nonsense style is self-evident from the first beat. Tough rhythms lay the foundations on which ethereal vocals breathe life into the groove. Invigorated by the first break, the track grows in energy right until the final bar. A work of dancefloor majesty. On the flipside, 'Pajam' builds and builds. Starting with a bongo groove, deep rubbery bass anchors the track firmly allowing groovy stabs and airy pads to drift into earshot and raise the epicness factor to 11. Genius.
