Another huge dance banger that I played CONTINUOUSLY on my student radio show last year. Motorola is a massive marmite track I will grant you, but I am a huge fan and I’m determined to get you all on board with this anthem.
House music titans, Gorgon City consist of duo Kye Gibbon and Matt Robson-Scott and have worked with the likes of JP Cooper, Duke Dumont, MNEK, Yungen, and previous featured artist Elderbrook. They have established themselves as a big player within the UK house scene and regularly sell out venues and grace big festival stages.
Motorola is a true house tune and has received negative feedback from Gorgon City fans who were introduced to them as a dance/chart artist. As with many artists we’ve featured, chart success has been a reflection of their success within the house scene, and Motorola is a throwback to the early days of Gorgon City. Memorable vocals and a heavy, easy to dance to the bassline, it is a great amalgamation of everything that Gorgon City stand for; new and old.
There is a really nostalgic feel to the lyrics “why don’t you put your number in my Motorola”, which is in reference to the very popular Motorola Razr flip phone, prior to the smartphone dominance. The use of old-school ringtones evokes great memories of middle school lunchtimes and after-school football sessions, whilst the sultry bassline makes it unavoidable to club DJs up and down the country.
I realise it’s a fairly decisive song, but give it a try and I think it’ll kickstart your weekend (I know it’s Monday; come back on Friday and rave away).
