WHOMP THAT SUCKER!

The Glimmers are the most adventurous DJ duo in the world ! DJ Magazine The Glimmers™ new pure dance album Whomp That Sucker! will be released in October 2010 on šGermany™s coolest & freshest record label› (Dazed & Confused) Gomma Records. It is the first time that the Glimmers are releasing on a different label then their own ! The album is a collection of tracks exclusively made with long time friend Ray Mang (recently signed to DFA) and it is pure dance floor madness. As the Glimmers describe it .."This time there are no musicians involved. Nothing is recorded live. No guest appearances, no pop or rock stars on vocals, no hypes. This time we only serve pure discoid house beats, analogue synths, bleeps, bass and FX and a few gimmicks here and there.. Play it very loud and be in a different state of mind for best results" This new Glimmers album is a milestone in the Belgian boys™ career. In fact it has been a crazy decade for the Glimmers. It all started when they co - created Eskimo Recordings in 1999 (and released the albums of Lindstrom & Prins Thomas and Aeroplane). On Eskimo the Glimmers released several projects and mix albums. The press loved everyone of them and it gave The Glimmer Twins their well deserved breakthrough in the international DJ scene. In 2004 they shortened their name into 'The Glimmers' and released their highly acclaimed 'Remixed, Re-edited and F*cked Up' mix album. DJ Kicks (2005) in the famous series for !K7 Records followed, and a year later they mixed 'Fabric Live 31' (2006). Their amalgamation of new-beat-funkhouse-technopartyelectro-new-wave-postdisco-rockpop was a revelation to those bored of linear mix albums. It became their trademark and by now it is state of the art. But the real big buzz started when they recorded their secret first album: 'The Glimmers Are Gee Gee Fazzi' (2008). Made with Freeform Five, Baby G., Ray Mang, Prins Thomas, CJ Bolland - the CD was never sold in shops but given away for free at the Glimmers™ DJ gigs. So only Glimmers fans and party kids own it. This was new in clubland, never seen before, and a huge success! Over 55.000 CD's have been distributed by the Glimmers in more than 55 cities all over the world. You can easily imagine what a huge fanbase the boys have. The CD was followed by 'The Glimmers Present Disko Drunkards' (2009). Their first proper concept album, recorded with some of Belgium's finest musicians. Real drums, a live bass, proper synths and crazy vocals. Besides they guys also did a loooot of Remixes : Grace Jones, MGMT, Bloc Party, The Killers, New Order, Roxy Music, Isolee, Phoenix, Munk, Snow Patrol, Soulwax, Calvin Harris, Shirley Bassey, The Chemical Brothers, Doves, Moby and The Phenomenal Hand Clap Band. 01 U Rocked My World 02 Soul Train 03 Whomp That Sucker! 04 Killing Jokes 05 Beats In Space 06 Patty Cake Online 07 Wake Up 08 Cbeebies 09 Nehru Park
