KAMPINOS — Another Gospel Commission

Kampinos – ANOTHER GOSPEL COMMISSION arrives on GAMM Recordings as catalogue GAMM210, a 12-inch vinyl that merges the intensity of drum & bass with the uplift of gospel vocal expression. The release is positioned as a spiritual offering, promising a blend of choir-like singing and rolling D&B rhythms that suit both club sound systems and intimate headphone listening. Within GAMM’s 2026 output the record sits alongside Monkz’s “DOCE COELHINHA / WUN UV U” (GAMM211, same day) and follows a series of earlier statements from the label, including Diesler’s “CAN YOU FEEL IT” (GAMM206) and Bisou’s “MORE JOBERMI” (GAMM207). This placement underscores GAMM’s current focus on high-energy, genre-crossing productions that push the boundaries of drum & bass while retaining melodic depth. Side A opens with “BLESSINGS”, a track that pairs deep gospel choir-style R&B vocals with a tasteful D&B bounce and live organ work, according to the label. The vocal presence immediately sets a reverent tone, while the rhythmic foundation keeps the momentum moving forward, making it suitable for early-set building or a soulful peak in a set. On the B-side, “HEAD TO THE SKY” delivers a massive jungle rework of a cover version of Sounds of Blackness’ gospel classic “Optimistic”. The reinterpretation translates the original’s optimism into a high-tempo, break-driven landscape that commands attention on the dancefloor, acting as a guaranteed head-turner for late-night moments. For Kampinos, this release follows the 2025 12-inch “GOOD LOOKING PEPE” (GAMM191) on the same label, continuing a trajectory that blends melodic vocal elements with the label’s signature bass-heavy aesthetic. The new EP deepens that approach by foregrounding gospel influences, offering a fresh perspective within the artist’s catalog while maintaining the kinetic energy that defines the GAMM roster. In the broader context of contemporary underground electronic music, ANOTHER GOSPEL COMMISSION exemplifies a growing trend of integrating soulful vocal traditions into drum & bass and jungle frameworks. The record’s dual focus—spiritual uplift on the A-side and kinetic jungle reinterpretation on the B-side—provides DJs with versatile tools: a melodic, vocal-rich opener for building atmosphere and a high-octane closer for driving the dancefloor into a peak. From a DJ’s perspective, the A-side works well as a set opener or a transitional piece, its vocal depth cutting through mixes and its rhythm offering a steady groove for blending. The B-side, with its aggressive jungle treatment, serves as a powerful climax or a surprise insert that can shift a set’s energy dramatically. Collectors will appreciate the concise two-track format that showcases Kampinos’ ability to fuse distinct musical worlds on a single vinyl. The record is pressed as a 12-inch vinyl, matching the format of the artist’s earlier GAMM release and fitting the label’s current output.
