Our Take

Gogo Penguin, the Manchester-based trio known for their experimental blend of jazz, electronic, and classical influences, have taken a bold step with their latest release, Ggp/Rmx. This album sees the band partnering with some of the hottest names in the electronic music scene to re-imagine tracks from their previous albums, giving them a fresh spin and a new perspective.

From the glitchy, pulsating beats of Clark's remix of "Time Lapse" to the dreamy, ethereal sounds of Portico Quartet's take on "Humdrum Star," Ggp/Rmx is a rollercoaster of sonic textures and unexpected twists. The remixes manage to retain the spirit of Gogo Penguin's original compositions while adding layers of complexity and dynamism that will keep listeners on their toes.

While some purists may argue that the original versions of these tracks are sacrosanct and shouldn't be tampered with, Gogo Penguin have proven that sometimes a little experimentation can lead to truly magical results. The collaborations with artists like Squarepusher, Machinedrum, and Cornelius add a fresh energy and inventiveness to Ggp/Rmx, making it a must-listen for fans of both Gogo Penguin and the electronic music genre as a whole.

Overall, Ggp/Rmx is a testament to Gogo Penguin's willingness to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. With this album, they have solidified their status as one of the most exciting and innovative acts in contemporary music. So, grab your headphones, hit play, and prepare to be taken on a wild and exhilarating musical journey like no other.

GoGo Penguin

GoGo Penguin have been carving out their own unique niche in the jazz world since their formation in Manchester in 2012. Comprised of pianist Chris Illingworth, bassist Nick Blacka, and drummer Rob Turner, this trio has been shaking up the jazz scene with their blend of acoustic and electronic elements. With influences ranging from Aphex Twin to Shostakovich, GoGo Penguin's music is a bold and refreshing take on modern jazz. Their compositions are intricate, yet accessible; avant-garde, yet approachable. The trio's dynamic performances have earned them a reputation as one of the most exciting live acts in the UK. Their 2014 album, v2.0, was a critical and commercial success, earning them a Mercury Prize nomination and establishing them as one of the most innovative jazz acts of their generation. Since then, GoGo Penguin have continued to push boundaries with their genre-defying sound, incorporating elements of electronica, trip-hop, and classical music into their compositions. GoGo Penguin's latest album, A Humdrum Star, is a testament to their evolution as musicians. With tracks like "Raven" and "Transient State," the trio showcases their ability to seamlessly blend complex rhythms and melodies with a contemporary sensibility. This is not your grandfather's jazz – this is GoGo Penguin at their most daring and dynamic. In a music world that is constantly evolving, GoGo Penguin stand out as a true original. With their innovative sound and electrifying live performances, this trio is poised to continue pushing the boundaries of jazz and beyond.
