GOGO Music was created because I wanted to have a platform where I could release music either produced by me or other artists without having to compromise in any aspect.
It just sounded catchy to me.
Finances. It was not as easy as it is today to set up a label in pre-digital times where you needed to press and ship the music.
Trust your ears.
We believe in quality 100 percent and only release music we love.
Outstanding, well written and well produced, soulful Vocal (House) music. Songs, not tools.
The producer who has the most releases on the label is myself and therefore my sound might be the foundation of the label’s sound, but many established artists, such as Black Coffee and Rocco, as well as new detections as Sir LSG and MAQman have left their mark.
We prefer to work with our regular artist nowadays and have currently stopped accepting and listening to demos.
It completely varies from a few weeks to a few years, simply depending on how long it takes to complete a worthy release package, especially when we’re talking about albums.
We create our artwork mostly in-house.
We release all formats from singles to albums.
Take Me To My Love (GOGO 053) was our biggest seller to date, as well reaching an official chart #1 in South Africa.
To date we mainly focus on social media promotion. Of course we send to press, radio and top DJs through our promotional pool, too.
Yes, we do. T-shirts are available all the time. Other special items are in stock from time to time.
It can’t be answered in general and depends on the release. Of course, and we seemingly can not avoid it, streaming will be the one in most cases in near future.
To be 100% satisfied with them.
We usually do not have a set release schedule. It depends on when a strong release is ready.
We reduced our DJ promo-list steadily as the results usually don’t justify giving away the music for free.
They can try, but must be prepared for a “no”, in case they don’t have a big radioshow, write reviews for a magazine or have another good reason.
Yes, we do on special occasions such as album releases.
We put quite a bit of work into it, not so much money.
We used to run various nights and residencies throughout the almost 20 years of label history. The latest one has been at Kitcheners in Johannesburg where we did for 4 years a monthly Thursday night for the real heads. We stopped it in December 2019 and will come up with a new concept once it is safe again to party.
We have a few singles lined up. Stay tuned…
We believe in quality music and think that there’s always a need for it.
We usually release upfront on Traxsource, which we joined as one of the first labels, when they started out. Their price policy allows us to make decent cut and cover some of the costs of a release. Other than that it is great if people buy from Bandcamp, where the artists and labels get the biggest share. But honestly, it is great if people buy the music, no matter on which platform.
