In his usually extensive dj sets he is known to effortlessly fuse together elements of different tracks in constant evolving transitions. A very versatile and saught after dj, Alex is well respected amongst the international dance community and at the top of greece's export in musical talent. It has been the past couple of years that GummiHz started carving his own path in the industry by launching Claap along with two vinyl only imprints, C-EDITS and the Raw Instinct volumes. A necessary step in his artistic evolution after working solely with Berlin's Mobilee records on many singles, his debut album "Sleepless nights" (2009) and one of the milestone mixes in their compilation series. In the meantime, Alex didnt hold back on the productions, having released a plethora of productions on labels like Real Tone, Ibadan records, Wolf + Lamb, Defected, Claap and many more under different projects and labels. This compilation comes right on cue to set GummiHz new status in the global scene, not only as a saught after dj and producer,but further on as a key figure in the evolution of modern dance music and the clubbing culture. In its short lifespan, Claap has released more than a few tracks that have gained their place in the hearts and bags of many. Projecting exciting new talent in the global circuit through a strong focus on the music above all else. The result is a plethora of quality dance tracks by label boss GummiHz on one side along with amazing records by Claap household names like Nikola Gala and John Dimas in just a couple of years. Songs like 'Secret Voyage' by GummiHz, 'Quick dance' by John Dimas and 'Oasy' by Nikola Gala being only a few examples. Adding to the bill are exciting newcomers the Square Room Heroes, very promising producer Quell, talented young artist BODJ and recent signee Moire Patterns. All inspiring artists who belong to an exiting new wave of dance producers. GummiHz presents Alles Claap vol.1. Its all about the music!
