DESCRIPTION:
Gorge aka Pit Waldmann finds his deepest roots and
home base in the German metropolitan Mannheim where
the legendary techno festival "Time Warp" and one of
Germany's leading clubs, the "Loft" are based.
These surrounding venues are maybe one of the reasons
why the musical passion of Gorge leads to the foundation
of the first label imprint called "Amused Records" back in
2004 where his partners Nick Curly and Wolfgang Wahl
are also actively involved. A very short period of time later
a second platform named "Amused8Bit" with releases of
the likes Johnny D, Ray Okpara and SIS already follows.
In 2007 the stylistic tendencies of the two labels become
more and more different so that "8 Bit Records" gets a
relaunch and new artists like Gruber & Nürnberg, Dubshape,
Ali Kuru and also highly profiled projects like Peace Division
and Audiofly enter the roster. Since 2008 Nick Curly and
Gorge run the label "8 Bit Records" in cooperation together
and its sound becomes more and more trendsetting in
terms of high quality "Deep House" and "Tech House".
Some magazines are even talking about the distinctive
"Sound of Mannheim" and many influential print medias
like Groove Magazine, Raveline and De:Bug release extended
features about this sound.
With a fine mixture of shuffling groove programming and
deep tech house elements Gorge supports Nick Curly's
worldwide success. However since summer of 2008 he
also finds enough time to produce records under his own
moniker and high profiled record labels as Dennis Ferrer's
"Ojektivity", "Systematic Recordings", "Plastic City" and
"Freerange" start to sign his music and worldwide best
known jocks like Luciano, Steve Bug, Loco Dice and Dennis
Ferrer frequently spin his black plastic!
So it's not really a surprise that Gorge is one of the most
demanded German techhouse artists at the moment and
great venues like Rex Paris, Space Ibiza and Cocoon
Frankfurt are booking him.
