Good Call

Cologne

...

When you'd have had told him back then in 2009 that his music will be pressed on vinyl, this would have
created big fuzzyness. The artist newly known as Good Call gave his debut on the belgium imprint
WePlayHouseRecordings. Numerous releases and two more aliases later, the guy who never owned two
turntables played across half of Europe. Good Call has a certain idea of what a night shall bring.
Dancefloors are driven by intimacy, therefor he rejects any goofy material to avoid aesthetical disturbances.
The sea is wide and rich of creatures, so is the chance to prepare your set.
