global goon

Been a fan of Global Goon for many a year. In my opinion, he's made some truly great (and playful) tunes, but never had the opportunity to see him live. Still a bit gutted he pulled from BLOC 09 to be honest. Hopefully I may catch him in future, who knows. Pretty much love everything he's done, so I'm with bigs on this one. Got a few of his things on vinyl and cd.

i've only got family glue, which i received from the man himself as he was giving away some at watmm when it came out. it's just fun music, something that often is missing in a lot of idm/electronic music.

Same here, I mailed him after checking his website years back. Found the mail from 2004 with the link to the site in my inbox : http://globalgoon.com

Go on it now and it's some sort of poker site, crazy shit.

Afterlife has been a massive favourite of mine for time. Big up the goon!!!!!

i'll always cherish this sig he made for me when i first signed up on watmm

 

woah.. he is/was once a watmmer?

Yeah, around the time that Family Glue came out, he hung out here a lot. Around ... 2003,2004, I guess.

Any word on what this dude is up to these days?

In this thread (scroll down a little), there's a hint of a new album coming on Balkan Vinyl.

And without wanting to dig up the whole 'Syntheme is Global Goon' palaver, it says on Balkan Vinyl's site that Kobi is an alias of Lou Whetman aka Syntheme. So is Kobi yet another name for Goon, or actually Lou Whetman, or does it even matter?

I was going to listen to cradle of history recently only to find the cd had been broken in two.

Wasn't it Goon who had an impromptu competition when his hard drive crashed and sent a watmmer SAWII #0002 as a prize?

not sure about the mastering on this folks as I've rushed it a bit and my monitors are far too close the the walls so I may update the file at a later date when I have a bit more time but in the meantime..... http://www.percussionlab.com/sets/global_goon/live_at_the_music_box_manchester_01-04-2010

johnny hawk is a gentleman. a master publicist and an excellent music maker.

he gave me his address once so i could send him my cd. he said "not bad"

goon tracks from 2007 to 2009

fuck, i only found out about him by accident at work today. i was listening to some clark on youtube and, wanting to chose another clark song, clicked on one of the videos on the left hand side. turned out it was global goon. turned out it was way better than clark. best day at work this year.

a squawk and goon track are both in my reunion mix. thank you johnny.

I gotta revisit global goon, i liked a few trax by him but then it kinda fainted, who knows.. i've done this mistake before

What's the deal with Global Goon? He seems sporadic with soundcloud posts and albums seem to be posted up and taken down.

He has some new music up. https://j-hok.bandcamp.com/album/shazbot

He posted a few threads recently on here, about Shazbot and two other releases. They're even on the main page of watmm (on the sidebar to your right). He's back at it for sure!

Hi, my stuff always ends up on http://j-hok.com

I put tracks on soundcloud when im done making them, leave them up a for a week or two then take them down. it's just the way ive ended up working. once they're up on sound cloud, it's easier for me to move on to new tracks
