NOIRE 007LP
|
The producer, multi-instrumentalist, DJ and label head from Bogotá, Colombia is nothing short of a phenomenon, effortlessly fusing complex sound combinations from jazz samples to flowing pianos and acid basslines into hugely exciting and unique house records. He delivers his new EP Superimposition, released on French label Noire & Blanche. An eclectic collection of solid deep house club burners ("Ventana Al Tiempo", "Inherently Deep"), acid breakbeats ("Superimposition") and soft afterhours hip-hop downer ("Feeling All Over It"). Gordon's ability to blend complex jazz instrumentation with acid-licked basslines, golden-age house aesthetics and the cultural sounds of South America is unrivalled; creating a distinctive and beautiful EP.

TOYT 105EP
|
Felipe Gordon from Bogota is one of the names right now in the jazz-inflected house and broken beat scene that is growing so much these days. This is second EP on Toy Tonics and it's a step forward for him musically; he started to include more vocals and worked with Colombian vocalist Paula Pedraza. Gordon's music is special; with his background as a Colombian (with that great heritage of musicianship that the country has) and as an indie rock musician (he used to play in bands for years), he has his very own vibe. His tracks have much more groove than lot of the sample-based stuff one can hear currently, and his production style is more variable and musically interesting than lots of other stuff. Check these four new tracks. Especially the second, which adds some freshness to the current disco vibe, bringing in a punk/funk bassline that could have been made in 2005 from disco-not- disco artists like Chicken Lips, Headman, or Playgroup. This is post-90s revival music.

QUINTESSE 066EP
|
Señor Gordon is back on Quintessentials. Colombia's number 1 when it comes to freaky house music delivers the goods again. Felipe Gordon has this incredible talent to mix so many different sounds and samples to create his unique style. Funky pianos (or maybe, sick ass chords!), wobbling basslines, jazzy samples, disco, and funk influences all combined together to make the "Felipe Gordon house sound". Sometimes more punchy, like "sick ass chords" and "the quint garage", sometimes more relaxed like "Girl, u don't know?" and "for those who?", but you just hear it's FG from B in C!

TOYT 082EP
|
Dirty funk house from Colombia. With heavy remixes by Seb Wildblood, Retrogott, and DJ Qualle and Pontchartrain. Felipe Gordon enters the house world via Toy Tonics in a heavy way. He used to play in bands before switching to samplers and getting addicted to old disco and house vinyl. You can hear that: his moody, raw tunes use samples of rare records. But selected carefully, adding his own Juno 60 or Moog synth chords (like on "Tell Me Something True"). Often using minor keys and lot of little noises and short, spoken-words by himself. Never clean, always musically special.

QUINTESSE 058EP
|
Based in Colombia's capital, Bogotá, Felipe Gordon's sound is testimony that both challenges and reinvigorates the burgeoning Colombian house movement. His statement is built of resonances inspired by other decades, Bogotá, cold, streets, and messy youth. It's not surprising when you hear pianos and classic acid house lines paired with jazz samples and funky bass lines. His ability to mix complex sounds into club music has made Gordon into a renowned and prolific producer.
