Gamut

dr, perc,
Musician of Dance
A.k.a. Jan Jug GmT (7)

Born in the musical family where everything was submitted to audio, he naturally started to attend music elementary school at the tender age of 7, choosing drums & percussions as his instrument of expression. By the age of 12, first band ties began to intertwine with other young musical enthusiasts, as they experienced together the addictive process of song writing, mainly focusing on progressive & hard rock. Musical taste varied from Prodigy, Faithless and Massive Attack to Body Count and Dream Theater. Couple of years, bands & gigs passed, and the new millennium was just around the corner. As we nearly said goodbye to the 20th century and embraced the year 2000, so has a once in a life-time breaking point occurred to Gamut. He stumbled upon a first progressive/trance full set cd, listened to it...again, and again and again... and immediately attended one of the infamous Hala Golovec massive parties and fell in love with Electronica & Underground at the first ear/sight. He sold his new drums almost the very next day, bought two decks, a 2-channel mixer and a handful of funky tech vinyl. As mixing began to evolve, so did his music production which continues to this very moment. Inhaling audio, his heart pumps in BPM similar to his sets, sound therapy lasting 24/7, he exhales fragments of beats & melodies. Although he played at all the big cities & clubs across Slovenia (including notorious Ambasada-Gavioli), his heart is focused on the relentless production of limitless ideas. Variety in mixing & producing was always mandatory for Gamut, while still managing not to lose the thread, soul, drive & funk in the process (influences varied from C. Varela, C. Smith, V. Kanzyani, A. Kowalski, A. Pappa, J. Digweed, Plastikman, D.Masiello, Infusion, Preach and Dave Clarke to name but a few...). Always divided between the hard & energetic part of his soul that represents techno, and the deep & metaphysical part which represents his love for progressive, he is constantly trying to fuse the two in something new and unique. The results of this inventive process you can check for yourself right here... and see if his following words are true: "It is obligatory to invent your own style, otherwise you are just going to fade out in the crowd..." - Gamut In 2011 he started his new project called "GmT" (Great Metaphysical Tendencies). Based on slower stuff, from progressive tech, techouse to progressive, all this genres will be released under his new name from now on. The idea is to enforce better recognition and enabling people to know what to expect since he was producing various style of music under one name Gamut. That name will still stand for his faster techno stuff and the new GmT project is his alter ago for more profound stuff from now on.
