COMM003 - Gimme by Whitney Weiss

Welcome to Cómeme’s third installment of the critically acclaimed and legendary “Cómeme Mucho” Series!
We witnessed its birth with DJ Maxi Cat’s “123” plus its thrilling Kodemul interpretation, we saw its continuation with the francophone “Flouz”, The Cash song, by Matías Aguayo featuring Alf L’artiste plus a killer take of Toribio, and now we have another game-changing announcement:
For the first time on Cómeme, we present US-born Europe-based, and Argentina-dancefloor and nightlife-raised DJ/producer Whitney Weiss, teaming up with Cómeme super-classic Christian S from Cologne (Germany’s capital of electronic music).
“Gimme” is a pumping anti-precarisation track demanding a decent wage for our work!
Fun repetitive vocals on a beat reminiscent of all kinds of genres with “booty” and “bass” in it, while the Christian S version represents late-night “deepness” in the spirit of its true emotional meaning!
Like all our stellar productions, both tracks have already been 100% dance floor approved by signature Cómeme DJs.

Whitney got their formal start playing 8+ hour stretches in Argentinean factories and parks before cutting their teeth as a resident at Dengue Dancing, a decadent weekly party in Buenos Aires. After five frenetic years in the Buenos Aires underground, they relocated to Berlin for a quieter pace of life.

Let’s dive into “Gimme”, its origins, and how it found a home on the most fitting label for this lush dance track, in the wonderful words of Whitney:

“Last summer, I bolted up from a nap and sang, ‘Give me money, give me all your money, I want money, lots of money’ into my phone’s voice notes app. No thinking, just recording. It was the way I’ve heard Christine McVie describe writing beautiful songs for Fleetwood Mac when inspiration struck, only this was a bitchy track influenced by the Miami bass that I grew up hearing everywhere.
I was thinking about diss tracks a lot: how to me, the mark of an excellent one is that you would never, ever want to claim that it was about you, even if it was.
I asked Christian S for a remix. While he was working on that, I played ‘Gimme’ for friends. They loved it but thought it would be a bit too much for some record labels. I’ve loved Cómeme since I first DJed at Dengue Dancing in Buenos Aires and heard another resident play an early track from their catalog. I was listening to ´Gimme’ one day in Berlin and thought: The label with the song that says ‘fuck me’ in Spanish over and over whose name translates to ‘eat me’ would probably think this was just enough, not too much - so I reached out and it worked out! So this is a total dream come true.
Thematically, take it as a ‘fuck you pay me what I’m worth’ song, a critique of the grim world of contemporary capitalism, a diss track, hell, even a grifter anthem…I support interpretations.”
