A new entry in the top 20 of the UK charts this week is Gorgon City with their smooth, impossible-not-to-love jam Unmissable, featuring upcoming soul singer Zak Abel. Both of their previous singles Ready for Your Love and Here for You made it into the UK top 5 and this dance anthem will surely follow suit.

The production duo’s debut album Sirens is officially released today (October 6) and it features vocals from Katy B, Jennifer Hudson amongst others, and writing credits from Kiesza and Emeli Sandé. For any fan of dance music this is a must-have album.
It seems that Gorgon City is a DJ and production team that cannot be stopped. Kye ‘Foamo’ Gibbon and Matt ‘RackNRuin’ Robson-Scott produce soulful house music that actually defies genre qualification. They have collaborated with some of the best singers in the world and continue to churn out powerful music that touches the heart. This year alone they have played everywhere from Glastonbury to Ibiza, basically every hip scene the world over, and their year is not over yet. They have just completed their first ever BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, and their album released today will surely set things on fire.
In a recent interview with Magnetic they talked about the origins of their rather unusual name Gorgon City: “It is linked to Medusa, sort of gorgon vibes, greek mythology and stuff, but it was kind of quite random when we first came up with it. We thought it sounded a bit different, but now we are exploring it more and we’ve got a cool creative team on our label who are helping us develop the idea of what Gorgon City is, and creating really cool shit for our live shows and for the album. It’s turning into something more than what it was when we first started it, you know? It was random when we started, but now it has its own identity. It feels like it is building something.” Read the full interview here.
