1) Band from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.… Read Full Bio ↴Two artists share the name Gideon.
1) Band from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Gideon, an aggressive metalcore band with an already impressive repertoire. Well-placed gang vocals and a powerful front man set Gideon apart from many of their peers, while the band as a whole, whose members have been playing together only since 2008, come off sounding like seasoned pros. Their Facedown debut “Costs” (engineered by Brian Hood) will be released on March 1, 2011
2) Anticlub and Lessismorecordings head honcho Gideon Hommes has no time to waste. He lives for music 24 hours a day. Producing, recording, spinning, selling and above all, loving music is what keeps him busy. There is no past, only future and Gideon is setting the standard higher and higher with his ever-evolving productions.
In a few years he built up an impressive discography with over a 100 released tracks under his different alter egos Gideon, The Economist and G. Early 2008 he released some tracks on big international record labels such as Kanzleramt (Berlin) and Sino (Hong Kong) followed by a complete artist album on both labels. On Kanzleramt he released his “Need No Permission” album in October 2008. Now 2009 he is the driving force within a Dutch label collective called Homedistribution, under his new company he manages 14 labels.
His debut and conceptual album NoNameNoFaceNoNumber was already released on his own label Lessismorecordings in 2007, where he showed a new approach to dubby techno and sequential composition. Running Lessismorecordings and labels like Grayarea, Anticlub and Minimalplus is one of his favourite occupations.
Gideon Alexis Tyrel Hommes was born in 1980 in the city of technology where Philips made the first steps in electronic music composition. In 1990 Gideon had his first contact with underground electronic music and has been hooked ever since. Spinning records and producing have been keeping him busy for more than a decade. So we can easily say that, he is not only an innovative and a differentiating producer of electronic music who runs his own label, he is also an experienced and very skilled DJ. In other words he is the full package of a modern artist.
The DJ sets he plays under his own name Gideon are techno oriented and memorable for playing the new unreleased material and things to come from the several labels he runs and supports. He combines the expected with the unexpected, monotone grooves with melodic revelations, rawness with sophistication and modern minimalism with old school renaissance. Contradiction? He does not think so. Gideon gives you a new vision on the full techno spectrum; he incorporates his love for the old days with his vision on the things to come.
He already played impressive venues like: Bergain/Ostgut (Berlin), Tresor (Berlin), Flex (Vianna), Arm17 (Moscow), One (Mardid), Awakenings Festival (Holland), Extrema Outdoor Festival (Holland) and more

Gideon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time I do the truth is always missin'
I just wanna feel what I feel when I feel it
I just wanna feel what I feel
And I'm gonna make you feel it
Don't need your permission
Already got your attention, shift it
Grip the wheel, rip off the rear view
Pedal to the metal
I just wanna take off
Pedal to the metal
All my life, tired of barely gettin by
Looking for a way to fly
I just wanna take, take, take off
And that's just how I'm feeling
This ain't getting back at you
This is gettin even
I don't wanna talk, I don't wanna listen
Every time I do the truth is always missing
I just wanna feel what I feel when I feel it
I just wanna feel what I feel
And I'm gonna make you feel this shit
Pedal to the metal
I just wanna take off
Pedal to the metal
All my life, tired of barely gettin by
Looking for a way to fly
I just wanna take, take, take off
Nah, ya ain't never gon' stop me
No you're never gonna slow me down
Can't be stopped
Can't be stopped now
Save your breath, there's nothing left to say
I won't look back
Pedal to the metal
I just wanna take off
The devil in me done been asleep too long
Pedal to the metal
All my life, tired of barely gettin by
Looking for a way to fly
I just wanna take, take, take off
In the song "Take Off" by Gideon, the lyrics express a strong desire for independence and self-expression. The singer is tired of engaging in meaningless conversations where the truth is always elusive and instead longs to fully experience their own emotions without restraint or inhibition. They want to take control of their own feelings and make their presence known, asserting that they do not need permission to do so and that they already have the attention of those around them. The imagery of gripping the wheel and shifting gears symbolizes the singer's determination to move forward without dwelling on the past, as indicated by the line "rip off the rear view."
The repeated refrain of "Pedal to the metal" reinforces the theme of speed and intensity, suggesting a desire to break free from restrictions and limitations. The singer is tired of merely getting by in life and seeks a way to soar above their circumstances, emphasizing their eagerness to launch themselves forward and break free from constraints. This driving need for liberation is further exemplified by the line "Looking for a way to fly," indicating a yearning for freedom and expansion.
Despite the assertive and rebellious tone of the lyrics, there is also a sense of determination and resilience woven throughout the song. The singer acknowledges that they are seeking not to retaliate but to find balance and equality in their interactions, asserting their right to express themselves authentically and unapologetically. By refusing to be held back or slowed down by external forces, the singer affirms their commitment to pushing forward and embracing their true desires.
The final verses of the song underscore a sense of defiance and invincibility, with the declaration that nothing can stand in the way of the singer's pursuit of their dreams. The imagery of the dormant "devil in me" awakening suggests a raw and primal energy being unleashed, driving the singer to assert their agency and break free from limitations. With a final proclamation of determination to take off and soar above the constraints of the past, the song concludes with a powerful assertion of freedom and self-empowerment.

I don't wanna talk, I don't want to listen
