Releases / Ralf GUM - “Uniting Summer EP”

Ralf GUM - Uniting Summer EP
Germany’s deep house mainstay Ralf GUM continues his extraordinaire output with three more tracks taken from his masterpiece debut album “Uniting Music”.

This fascinating EP shows Ralf’s love to interlace South American rhythms into his expertly-produced music. The EP opens with the vocal track “Searching” featuring new and upcoming vocal talent Mike Avery from Chicago. The tough tribal beat and unique instrumentation under laying the heartfelt vocal ensures that all bodies will move to this tune. Next up you’ll get some fierce Latin carnival percussion in form of the instrumental track “Parabatu”, an uplifting dynamic summer track right for the peak time. This is a truly grooving piece of music of the highest caliber, with driving Latin baseline, cool Rhodes chords and topped by a lovely moog hook. Last but not least, you can enjoy the really pretty and dreamy “Parachute” with Oliver Leicht on flute is the perfect soundtrack for all terraces, pool parties and lounges. Completing the release are the instrumental version and bonus beat of “Searching” and the bonus beat of “Parabatu”.

Ralf GUM has been at the forefront of the Germany’s house scene since the early 90s. Since the start of his DJ and producer career he always stayed true to his passion for eclectic house music. Next to his weekly DJ-gigs all around the globe, he’s steadily providing the house-community and legion of fans with his unmistakable productions. Now following his highly acclaimed hits, such as “Kissing Strangers” featuring Monique Bingham or “All this love for you” with Diamondancer, this EP release is fire and uniting unique styles to create a soundtrack worthy of a dancer's dream.

Ralf GUM - Uniting Summer EP - GODIG 005

I always like the stuff that Ralf does, he has a great taste in music and knows what he wants when he goes into the studio. This EP is in fact one of his finest to date with some great percussion work and rhythms that are as infectious as the flu! Add to that some great vocal work and the job is done. Highly recommended, this should be played and enjoyed whenever and wherever possible as it is an EP that will fit in nicely with most situations. If I had to criticize one thing though Ralf it would be one of the synthesiser pad sounds in the track 'Searching', for me it spoils it but that is just my personal opinion!!! by David Colkett

The beats version is guaranteed to create a hypnotic feel on the dance floor.

GUM brings us an EP that is certain invoke memories of beaches, sun and hot sweaty clubs. It features a couple of instrumental winners, underpinned by Afro percussion. Parabatu is a mesmerising groover, where stargazing synths do all the work. Parachute drafts Olivier Lecht for some spirited flute playing, with sweet keys also featuring. by Jon Freer
