Bio
Following closely behind intoxicated late night banter as our favorite form of communication, we (the DGG) are creating music as a vehicle to communicate our views on life, love, loss and soccer. Based in a small three room apartment in Amsterdam's Oud Zuid we're diverting our precious time between discussing the genius of Paul Westerberg, killing the flies swarming over the sink, the occasional walk to the nightshop and, sometimes, pressing some buttons on a keyboard and/or sequencer. These are the things we hold dear after hauling our amps, guitarcases and hangovers across Europe and the rest of the civilized world for several years in a 'traditional' band environment.
Anyhow, the debut DGG 'CrackHouseWarmingParty' 12" was released late 2004 by Headman's Relish Records and received great reviews and DJ support from people like Trevor Jackson, Tiefschwarz, Erol Alkan, Ivan Smagghe (Blackstrobe), Sasse (Mood Music), Paul Mogg (Psychonauts), The Glimmers, Craig Richards, Chicken Lips, Touche and BBC Radio 1 DJ Rob Da Bank. Besides the original track it features a remix from NYC duo Rub n Tug (of A.R.E. Weapons, and who also remixed !!! and the Beastie Boys). August 2005 saw the release of the follow up single 'Heavy Metal Music Magazines', including two new tracks and a remix by Timo Kaukolampi (known for his work on Annie's 'Anniemal' record). Promotional copies are going around already and are doing very well getting support by names such as 2manyDJʻs, Tiga and James Murphy.
The DGG are working at a full length record for Relish Records at this time, due to be finished and released at the end of this year. A remix for Ajello's 'Harlem USA' came out in June on the 'Italian Remixes EP'.
