UK TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED FOR NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2021
GORGON CITY PRESENT : BACK TO LOVE – AUGUST 7TH + 8TH AT FINSBURY PARK
12,000 TICKETS SOLD OUT IN 24 HOURS
Renowned British production duo Gorgon City, today announce their third album ‘Olympia’, due June 25th, 2021 via Positiva/EMI.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the duo have shared the latest track from the album ‘Tell Me It’s True’.
The duo have also just announced a huge tour for 2021 which includes four UK dates in Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool and London in November and December.
Boasting euphoric house-piano, seamless vocal chops and an ever evolving bassline, the new offering is the perfect introduction to their latest body of work. With Kye now residing in the birthplace of house music, Chicago, and Matt remaining in London, the creation of ‘Olympia’ marked a career first for the duo, having produced the project from entirely separate continents – but that has not dimmed their light.
An album shrouded in Greek mythology, ‘Olympia’ is an eclectic and euphoric mix of past and present, it’s a celebration of musical worlds coming together, with 90’s house blending seamlessly with 2020’s finest pop. ‘Olympia’ is a collaborative piece of work showcasing Gorgon City’s strength in discovering and developing vocal talents that are genre-spanning and varied. There are features from an incredible roll call of exciting new talent in the form of Rose Grey & Aura James, alongside past collaborators Josh Barry, Sofi Tukker and DRAMA.
Talking about ‘Olympia’ Gorgon City say: “With this record we’ve definitely gone more clubby and have been inspired by the big shows that we played before lockdown. It’s a bigger sound and lyrically it’s different for us”
This album celebrates themes of escapism and exploration, as social freedom finally feels like a reality. Full of dancefloor fillers, ‘Olympia’ is a collection of the duo’s work over the last few years, while digging deeper into the sounds, experiences and emotions that have influenced their lives and work. The breadth of music they’ve been exposed to while touring pre-covid informs ‘Olympia’s’ massive sonic palette.
PRE-ORDER THE ALBUM OLYMPIA HERE
Formed in 2012, Gorgon City have sold over 10 million singles and clocked up over 1.5 billion streams. While the duo are no strangers to chart success with hits such as ‘Ready For Your Love’, their sound is rooted deep in club culture and made for live shows. Many songs get road tested in clubs before being put onto an album. The live setting is where the duo truly thrive – 2019 saw amazing sets around the world including Coachella, EDC Vegas and Israel’s Get Lost Festival, as well as sold-out shows from iconic UK venues such as Printworks, Warehouse Project and Tobacco Dock.
With the release of ‘Olympia’ on the horizon, live dates in the diary and further exciting news to come, the future is becoming an increasingly exciting prospect for one of dance music’s most celebrated duos.
