Dark, hard and heavy, like an illegal dance party for drugged mermaids at the bottom of the ocean: that is DJ and producer John T. Gast in his mysterious alter ego GOSSIWOR 2 (not to be confused with the first Gossiwor, which was a collaboration between Gast and Aase Nielsen).
John T. Gast has been causing a furore for years with his elusive music, which fuses rock-hard beats with boundless, profound sound explorations. His discography is a veritable puzzle, with many dozens of releases spread across various aliases and collaborations. For his performance at Gaudeamus Festival 2023’s Saturday Night, he uses a hydrophone as a starting point: a microphone that can be used underwater.
