Thomas Gold shines in London

If you aren't up on the latest in house and electronic music, you may not already know that acclaimed DJ/Producer Thomas Gold is appearing in London at the Cobra on January 20 in one of the most anticipated shows so far in 2012.

Thomas Gold is a German-born DJ that took the world by storm in 2011, his CV reading like a who'swho of the finest electronic artists the world over. Whether it was an original track, a star-studded collaboration or remix, it was difficult to hit the clubs last year without enjoying his work. Having forged a reputation for the highest standard in production, Gold is in demand by Swedish House Mafia, Axwell, Sander van Doorn and many more.

Gold celebrated the close of 2011 by offering a free download of his favourite tracks of the year, a mix that included some of his original productions and remixes along with some of his personal favourites from 2011. From his wild mashups of Avicii and David Guetta to remixes of Lady Gaga and Adele, from reworkings of Sander van Doorn to original tracks with Dirty South and more, the mix is as impressive and electrifying as his live performances. The mix is available on SoundCloud at tinyurl.com/tgoldmix.

Yet despite the exceptionally busy year behind him, Gold is keeping the momentum strong with the coming release of "Eyes Wide Open" with Dirty South on January 23, as well as a remix of Henrik B's "Leave A Light On" due this spring. As if that weren't enough, however, Gold's own "Sing2Me" is also scheduled for wide release this spring on Axtone, a long time coming from its premiere by Swedish House Mafia when they took over BBC Radio 1 back in September.

Among the finest on the electronic music horizon, Gold's performance promises to be an excellent night at Cobra London. A part of his 2012 US Kick-Off Tour, his stop here in London is one among high-profile gigs lined up in Miami, Boston, New York and more.

Cobra London is located at 359 Talbot St. downtown and has built a reputation with fans since opening in September. For more information, get in touch with Cobra on Twitter @cobralondon. Fans of Thomas Gold can visit him online at thomas-gold.com or follow on Twitter @thomasgold.
