Album Review: Come Gimme Something by Gaz Gibson
Gaz Gibson’s Come Gimme Something, released in 2011 on Toolbox Recordings, is a high-energy punch to the gut of the Hard House scene. This UK-based producer doesn’t mess around—his tracks are raw, relentless, and unapologetically dancefloor-ready. If you’re into Electronic music with a harder edge, this one’s worth spinning.
The title track, “Come Gimme Something,” is an absolute banger. It kicks off with that signature Hard House vibe—pounding beats, razor-sharp synths, and a bassline that feels like it’s vibrating through your chest. What makes this track stick? The vocal sample. It’s simple, repetitive, but damn if it doesn’t get stuck in your head for days. You find yourself muttering "come gimme something" while waiting for your coffee or stuck in traffic. That hook isn’t just catchy; it’s infectious in the best way possible.
Another standout is “Pressure Point” (or whichever other track you want to highlight). This one’s darker, grittier, almost like it’s daring you to keep up. The breakdown builds tension so well you can practically feel the sweat dripping off the walls of some underground club. Then BAM—it drops, and suddenly you’re not just listening anymore; you’re living it. Tracks like this remind you why Hard House has such a cult following. It’s not just music—it’s a physical experience.
What’s cool about this album is how Gibson balances chaos and control. He knows when to let loose and when to rein things back in. Nothing feels overproduced, which is rare in the Electronic genre these days. It’s got that rough-around-the-edges charm that keeps it real.
Looking back, Come Gimme Something might not be groundbreaking in terms of innovation, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s a solid piece of work that delivers exactly what it promises—a wild ride from start to finish. Honestly, after listening to it, I kinda wish more albums were this unpretentious. And hey, isn’t that what dance music should be all about?
Final thought: If this album had a personality, it’d probably be the guy at the party who shows up late but steals the show.
