Hailing from Portugal and currently based in Munich, Luis Clara Gomes spent the past few years running Discotexas, one of the most prominent nu-disco labels in Europe. In that time, he has also released several popular remixes for artists like Gigamesh, Cut Copy, Xinobi, Zimmer, Two Door Cinema Club and Sebastién Tellier as well as some original tracks of his own.

Flora, his first attempt on a full length album, is a fantastic piece of work and we urge everyone to take a listen. Gomes presents himself as an established producer in complete control of every beat in this release. He showcases an extremely versatile style within disco music, transitioning from the luxurious, jazzy mood of ‘Déja Vu’ and ‘Darkest Night’ to the space-disco bass lines of ‘Take My Pain Away.’

The album also includes a cover of the Michael Sembello’s iconic Flashdance track ‘Maniac,’ with vocals by no one else than Peaches. This release definitely has us looking forward to a future Moullinex’s appearance in NYC.

The entire Flora album was kindly made available for preview by Moullinex himself, and is out now on Gomma Records. You can grab a copy here.

The KDMS (Kathy Diamond and Maximillian Skiba) just released their new video, ‘Circles,’ an over the top make-up and glitter extravaganza that showcases performances by drag queens from around the world. The video fortuitously suits our current mood quite well as we’re still reminiscing over the glam-obsessed fun we had during the The Pines Invasion in Fire Island on Independence Day.

The single also features two great remixes. Mirror People takes the original disco track to a more upbeat, house sound, while Soft Rocks sees it as a jazzy deep house tune.

‘Circles’ comes out after their incredible first single, ‘Wonderman,’ and is part of The KDMS debut album, Kinky Dramas and Magic Stories, out now on Gomma Records.

When Kathy Diamond and Maximillian Skiba decided to promote their new supergroup, The KDMS, they figured there’s no better way to generate buzz than by creating a disco version of Madonna’s ‘Gimme All Your Luvin.’ Let’s be honest, it’s better than the original (sorry Madge)! For their new single, the British disco-diva and Polish producer worked together to please us with a true disco gem titled ‘Wonderman.’ Which, for lack of a better word, is truly wonderful.

So lovely to hear Kathy’s voice again after ‘Whispers,’ her collaboration with Aeroplane in 2008. We missed it very much!

‘Wonderman’ is the first single of The KDMS debut album, Kinky Dramas and Magic Stories, and it comes packed with a cover by Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor and German producer Justus Köhncke. The album will be out soon this month on Gomma Records.
