Last summer, before Thomas Gold started his official Fanfare radio show, he played trial and error with the idea — in this case under the Goldcast moniker. The third episode of said podcast went relatively under the radar and displayed Gold’s tech house side. Recorded live from the legendary Cafe Mambo in Ibiza — the island’s premier pre-party hotspot — this mix features the Balearic vibes that the White Isle has come to represent. Featuring exclusive edits to Julien Jabre’s “Swimming Places” and Shapeshifters’ “Lola’s Theme,” this mix showcases a side of Thomas Gold that has gone unnoticed. (more…)
Thomas Gold has firmly cemented himself in the hallowed halls of dance music history with his very first Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1. Showcasing his innate ability for creating delicately balanced mixes, the German music-auteur stormed BBC’s airwaves last night with a barrage of exclusive cuts including the debut of his remix of OneRepublic’s “Feel Again.” Known for his incredible mash-ups, Thomas wastes no time before jumping into a slew of unique sonic combinations on his Radio 1 debut. The mix is one of Thomas’s best to date and marks a milestone achievement in the German producer’s career.
Dancing Astronaut favorite, Thomas Gold, will be premiering his first Essential Mix this Friday on BBC Radio 1. This achievement marks a milestone in the prolific producer’s career, joining the illustrious list of top-tier DJs that have come before him. Be sure to tune in early as Thomas plans to debut some brand new tracks, including an exclusive from Daddy’s Groove, a special version of “In My Mind” and his brand new remix of One Republic’s “Feel Again.”
It’s no secret that we’re fan of Thomas Gold livesets, and his latest episode of his radio show Fanfare does not disappoint. Gold has his usual selection of big room bangers, but he also has a few upcoming tracks that are set to be bombs.
e’s got DJ Obek and Ambush’s “Craissy” and Calvin Harris’ “Sweet Nothing,” but also the unassuming banger from Inners called “Silhouettes.”
The best track on the podcast is probably the amazing Duvision remix to Project 46 and Donna Lewis’ “You & I,” which was released a few weeks ago. Thomas seems to be keeping his latest Goldlegs under wraps in the lead up to his November 3rd Essential Mix debut, incorporating the “Finally” vs “Trio” mashup that he’s been dropping for a while now. Be sure to let us know which tracks are your favorite and what you’d like to see in his Essential Mix in the comments.
Thomas Gold had a pretty amazing summer, and now there’s a five-minute movie recapping all of the highlights. “A Golden Summer” starts off at Paradise Club in Mykonos before quickly taking us to Pacha Ibiza with Axwell. Along with footage from some of the biggest events and venues around the world, we get to see things like Thomas’ personal “coffee bag,” and the special coffee heater he travels with. We jet off to Tomorrowland in Belgium before heading back to Ibiza for another show at Amnesia — just another day in the life of a mega DJ. Of course, there’s also footage of Thomas’ headlining gig at Governors Island (and his impressive drumline), which is where his summer unofficially came to a close. Check out the video for yourself, and keep an eye out for Thomas’ debut Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1, happening November 3rd!
Fedde Le Grand and Deniz Koyu have teamed up to remix Digitalism original, “Zdarlight,” which was first released in 2005. Thomas Gold recently reworked the track but now Le Grand and Koyu are giving it its second modern day revamping. Their version of the song employs a melodic bass line and chugging synths that carry the song. We love when new and old collide and that’s exactly what’s happening here — Le Grand is already a legend and Koyu is making a name for himself in a big way with his string of successful releases. Their remix of “Zdarlight” will be released September 10th on Toolroom Records. Are you excited for this track?
