Song Based on Your Slogan

Yes, There Really Is A Kalamazoo!

I really wanted to make something fresh and futuristic for my DJ sets that would take the familiar Don Diablo sound to the next level. Once I finished the basic foundation of the song things started to fall in place and I got a brain wave. I have always been looking for a way to implement Fatboy Slim's "Right Here Right Now" sample into my sets because those four words are so simple but also extremely powerful at the same time. When I tested it out for the first time the reactions blew my mind so I decided to make it my next release straight away!

Wrong Side Of A Love Song

Written in Kalamazoo on a particularly stormy night. 

NOTE: This song is about a historical figure. It is in NO way in relation to the Gibson Corp. in any way shape or form. Or, as I say when I perform it live, "This song is about the Man, Not the Company, for the record."

Ballad of Orville Gibson
