Releases / Ralf GUM feat. Lady Alma - “A Time And A Place”

We proudly present this new single by Ralf GUM, who features Lady Alma in their first ever joint collaboration. The two musical heavyweights deliver a spiritual song titled 'A Time And A Place', which is made for the dance floor, yet delivering a relevant message going beyond the often flippant lyrical content of today's music.

Ralf GUM needs not much of an introduction to any house music lover anymore. Whether as a DJ who played at countless venues and festivals around the world or as a producer who can look back on a discography including many seminal hits, his 25 plus years career is proof that consistency is possible and key in an often fast paced industry. Thanks to his dedication, skill and being faithful to what he stands for, Ralf is regarded as an essential pillar in the House Music scene by his peers and fans alike since many years. He is now back with this musical journey, seemingly fitting his ethos to release productions which stand the test of time.

Lady Alma has become the name to know, deemed 'the heart and soul of Philadelphia's soul scene' and heralded as 'the truth in a roomful of lies' among tastemaker's circles. She has been introduced to captive crowds via King Britt's acclaimed 1998 LP, When The Funk Hits the Fan as part of his groundbreaking Sylk 130 collective and since been catapulted to senior solo status. She's blessed countless irresistible songs including Fanatix' stunning 'Higher' and 'Gimme That Music' from Masters At Work's In The House compilation, 4Hero's anthemic 'Hold It Down' or 'Chances' with DJ Spinna. When meeting Ralf GUM on her 2016 South Africa tour, the two immediately decided to collaborate, which resulted in the outstanding “A Time And A Place”.

We are delighted to present this single as a foretaste on an album Ralf's has in the works and are sure'A Time And A Place', tickle you to get down on the floor, as well as make you reflect. Something for the mind, just we like it here at GOGO Music.
