Gigamesh (aka Matthew Thomas Masurka) is an American, Minneapolis-based DJ producer, most recognised for his 2010 remix of Mike Posner’s multiplatinum selling track “Cooler Than Me”, as well as his remix of Foster the People single “Pumped Up Kicks” in 2011.

Two other classic remixes are “Control” (featuring Caroline Smith) and “Bad Girls” from Donna Summer.

Prior to launching his solo career, Gigamesh was also involved in two other collaborative projects, Discotech and Señor Stereo, both alongside DJs Danny Daze and Joe Maz. Gigamesh releases include an EP on Kitsuné and a single and two EPs on Our Label International. In the spring of 2013, he released the single, ‘Enjoy’, on New York City-based house label Nurvous Records. Touring internationally, he has performed in Asia, Australia, Europe and across North America.
