Releases / Tracks

The always-game-changing INDEX:Records feels like the ideal platform for Gi Gi. Over the last year or so, the Texas-based producer has been slowly cultivating his own style of introspective downtempo. Until August, he’d mainly done so by exploring the sound in mixes and teasing us with tracks on a handful of compilations (insert shameless plug of our label). That changed with the release of Sunchoke on Good Morning Tapes, an 8-track collection of blissful beat-based sounds reminiscent of Tranquilizer-era Terre Thaemlitz.

Lamella Pressed follows in the same rhythm-centric footsteps as his recent tape release. Any fan of early ‘00s downtempo labels like City Centre Offices, Elektrolux and theAgriculture will find so much to love here. The album sounds unlike almost anything else you’ll hear right now though, especially “Sinews (feat. Hysterical Love Project)”. Similar to Gi Gi, Brooklyn and Ike bring their own signature brand of 4AD-inspired soulfulness to the track. It’s got to be one of the collaborations of the year, in our very humble opinion.

Gi Gi - Lamella Pressed is out December 2nd on INDEX:Records. You can pre-order the album on Bandcamp.

Gi Gi – Lamella Pressed

PREMIERE: Gi Gi - Sinews (feat. Hysterical Love Project)

New INDEX:Records transmission "Lamella Pressed" comes courtesy of Texan vibist Gi Gi. Trodding his own path of introspective, nu-age-infused ambient scapes and trip-hop-laced downtempo divagations, Gi Gi eases us in a distinctively soothing headspace. A self-driven, immersive audio bubble engineering a polychromatic mix of organic field-recording, exotic dub shades, lushly textured envelopes and smooth loungey jazz accents.

Here's A1 from the record – “The Lower”, a steady-churning combo of retro-stepping UK dynamics, 90s-schooled atmospheric dub and low-slung, LA beat-style swagger.

Digi releases December, 12" LP records in Spring.

“Pyxis Glint” shows off an ambiguously feverish ASMR-like temper with its tightly woven web of chimey Andean melody and straight out Rephlex-fashioned escapism.

Gi Gi - Opioid Rev

Gi Gi returns to Quiet Time with a new album, Dreamliner. His last full-length for Quiet Time, Lumino Pleco, was built on familiar samples, melted into a skunky sludge. It evoked a heat-warped meditation cassette unearthed from a Goodwill located in a black hole. The Texas producer’s latest, Dreamliner, is comparably immediate and propulsive. Here, Gi Gi explores spacey, kosmische-laced trip-hop. At first, these eight tracks come across placid and twinkly — calling to mind glitter stars twinkling atop a navy canvas, or tropical sun beams cutting through crystal water. But a jaggedness becomes apparent when lended a focused ear. Beneath slow motion arpeggiations and lullaby melodies, dubby percussion and sound effects gnash and quiver.

Gi Gi - Dizzying

Texan bliss dealer Gi Gi joins us fresh off the back of his stunning record ‘Dreamliner’, his second release to drop on Quiet Time Tapes. Gi Gi’s discography has flourished over the last few years with contributions to INDEX:Records and Good Morning Tapes, as well as features on numerous V/As. He’s a true aficionado of that in-between-zone around 105-115 bpm, and he’ll be bringing those sensual grooves to Slowcut at Le Lac on Saturday, October 19th.

Dizzying - Gi Gi - 30 Oct 2024

A new mix by Gi Gi, who is known for making music between ambient, downtempo, dub and trip hop.

For this mix, however, he increases the energy & tempo considerably, while maintaining the sense of texture that informs his music.

He recently put out an album on Quiet Time Tapes in September, and has previously released on Good Morning Tapes, INDEX:Records, and Ways Inner Pass.

it's a recording from a club set at a friend's diy space in nyc last september, from the release party for my last lp that just came out.
