Ralf GUM

  / artists (R)
Real Name:Ralf Benkert
Profile:Born in 1971, Ralf Gum started in 1991 to play Garage House. He began his career in the Noise-Club from the Airport in Würburg (D). 1992 until 1996, he was resident in clubs like Art (Würzburg), Yellow Kitchen (Mannheim), Vertigo (Würzburg) and Boot (Würzburg). Also, he had monthly bookings in the Red Dog and Unbekanntes Tier in Stuttgart.
With unique music and consistent work, Ralf made it to one of the most popular German house artists and one of the few who also enjoys international popularity. Since Ralf`s DJ career started in 1990 he stayed true to his passion for cool and diverse house music. Harmony & Soul & Groove – just some aspects of Ralf’s typical sound. With a feeling for the vibe, he convincingly played at more than 250 German and international spots, including gigs all over Europe, Japan and the United States.

Ralf GUM’s producing since 1993 and worked with notable artists as Inaya Day, Michael Procter, Monique Bingham, Wunmi, Beady Belle or the fascinating Concha Buika. He released on top labels like Peppermint Jam, Tommy Boy, Compose, InfraCom!, Sole Music, Milk & Sugar, Oyster Music and others. Ralf GUM’s productions made it to a worldwide renown trademark in the house scene and UK’S TTR magazine called Ralf “one of Germany’s finest” in 2005.

In 2001 Ralf GUM started to build up his label "GOGO Music". Late 2005 GOGO Music was called “one of the hottest imprints around” by UK’s leading magazin “Blues & Soul” and Germany’s “Subculture” wrote that “GOGO Music is the prime German house label”. In 2003 Ralf initiated the own GOGO Music Radioshow. The show is broadcasted by 25 stations around the globe including radio42.com (Germany), audio4all (Germany), tokyma.fm (Switzerland), swissdeejays.com (Switzerland), ssradio.com (UK), motion.fm (Canada), rhodosdj.com (Greece), Fullhouseradio.com (UK), RadioFG.com (France), radiostylo.com (Poland), DFR-Radio.com (Tschech Republic), IbizaGlobalRadio.com (Spain), Radio 105 (Italy), Radio Planet (Italy), Unverdance (Canary Islands, Spain), StraightUp.com.au (Australia), Beats Radio (South Afrika), Simphony Tandil FM 100.3 (Argentinia), Soul Satellite (UK), 065 City FM (Bosnia), GrooveSession (France) and Hit 94 FM (Aruba).

Next to Ralf GUM’s house productions, he started a second project entitled "SUGAR BEAT". In collaboration with drummer Steffen Meder originated a unique live performance: “Jazzy Live Drums & Uplifting Spinning”. Out of the inspiring club-sessions quickly developed a production team.

During his career Ralf had the pleasure to compile and mix various CD-Compilations. Including in 2004 “Arrival Vol I” (Double Mix-CD together with Howard Donald - Ex Take That, for which they toured together all over Germany) and “Studio – the finest in lounge and house music”. In Februar 2005 the first GOGO Music labelcompilation “GO!” including highlights of 3 years label work was released. It was called the best compilation of the year by UK’S TTR magazin. In October 2006 the second part “GO!!” hit the market.

In 2008 Ralf GUM unveiled his long awaited debut album titled ‘Uniting Music’.
