Joe Goddard EP Launch Party

Featuring Greco-Roman stars and more...

Joe Goddard is set to toast his new EP ‘Gabriel’ with a one off launch party on September 24th.

Released earlier this summer, ‘Gabriel’ marks the return of Joe Goddard to his solo career. The producer is busy with Hot Chip and The 2 Bears, but decided to release the new EP once it was complete.

An angelic hymn, ‘Gabriel’ nods towards classic house as well as 2-Step garage. Out now as a 12 inch, the full EP drops on Monday (September 10th) and comes accompanied by remixes from Compound One, Ossie, Peach Melba and Seiji.

Speaking to ClashMusic recently, Joe Goddard mused on the religious theme. “I think dance records are always good when they touch on religious themes, when they’ve got that gospel feeling. That runs through dance music often and I just thought these words were perfect” he explained.

“I built the music, the strings and the bass line around those words. It came together just very naturally – I think because the song is really strong.”

The EP will be launched into the music world with a one off party on September 24th. Greco-Roman are set to host the launch event, which features a typically wide array of collective members and dance mavericks.

The Greco-Roman Soundsystem will be in attendance, while Compound One will also be on the decks. Valentina – the vocalist who wrote the initial demo for ‘Gabriel’ – is set to appear live, while Enchante is also on the bill.

Jungle dons 2 Bad Mice will appear at XOYO, while Wookie is also set to take part. There are plenty of special guests waiting in the wings, with Joe Goddard due to provide a headline set.

Tickets are on sale now.
