GIGOLO 290CD
|
This is the 13th installment in DJ Hell's much-lauded and highly-anticipated annual selection of material from Gigolo artists, new and old. As two years have passed since the last edition, this overview is the perfect way to catch up with the latest activity from the Gigolo extended family -- including Snuff Crew, Christian Prommer, Douglas Greed and Skwerl -- as well as a glimpse ahead, packed with plenty of brand-new and unreleased material. And as usual, Hell has plucked a few golden oldies from his massive record library that predate the label's existence but show its knowledge of (and connection to) dance music history. Spread across two discs, Gigolo Music Ltd 13 showcases the unrelenting stylistic adventurousness -- from rough electro to polished tech-house to syncopated Latin rhythms and even disco Schlager -- that Gigolo stands for. Aside from his curatorial skills, Gigolo mastermind DJ Hell makes four appearances on the compilation, including a fresh "New Jack Swing Club Mix" of his 1995 Disko B hit "Eat More House," as well as his remixes for Prommer & Barck, Gilla and Tim Deluxe, whose "Transformation" kicks off CD1. The original version was released late in 2011 on Exile's own Get Human imprint. Elsewhere, Douglas Greed pokes fun at those who can't stand to hear "When A Man Sings On A Track" over his electro swagger, while B.D.I.'s "A Riot Of Chrome" has the kind of hypnotic bounce that could make Ron Hardy jack in the grave. Aside from these and other exclusive cuts, Disc 1 also includes tracks selected from the latest Gigolo 12" EPs from Hrdvsion, Skwerl and Gin Sling, never before released on CD, plus Danny Daze offering a slice of booty with "Ghetto Fab" -- a tune for those of you "wearin' more than one hairstyle at a time" -- as well as a welcome revisit of the 1990 classic "Hell Or Heaven" by L.U.D.O.. CD2 takes even more twists and turns, including Lenoir & Meriton's interstellar Italo expedition "Nuclear Body" as well as Christian Prommer's cover of Cesar Maravillas' "Chocopop Jazz." Balanced with these fresh exclusives are recent hits from Rampa & Re.You, Oliver Ton and DJ Koze (in the form of his remix for Makossa & Megablast), plus the breakthrough single from Swedish dance production duo SoundFactory, the Inner City-inspired pop gem "Understand This Groove," sounding as fresh now as it did back in 1992. Connecting the past, present and future of DJ culture, Gigolo Music 13 marks the latest chapter in the ongoing Gigolo story.

GIGOLO 289EP
|
DJ Hell's double-album Teufelswerk (GIGOLO 250CD/LP) was a collaborative affair, inviting the likes of Bryan Ferry, Peter Kruder, Christian Prommer and &ME into the studio, it's only natural that he would extend the invitation to some of his other favorite producers to rework these contemporary classics. Spencer Parker trims "The DJ" down to a more concise 9-minute edit and duo Lenoir & Meriton lift the popcorn arpeggiation of "Wonderland" and add their own Swiss spin to create an electro-house workout.

Nearly three years after DJ Hell's accomplished double-album Teufelswerk (GIGOLO 250CD/LP), he returns with Teufelswerk House Remixes Part 2. As Hell's original Teufelswerk was already a collaborative affair, inviting the likes of Bryan Ferry, Peter Kruder, Christian Prommer and &ME into the studio, it's only natural that he would extend the invitation to some of his other favorite producers to rework these contemporary classics. Now, following the first part of House Remixes released in late 2011, the fire continues spreading, beyond the ninth circle. Kicking things off is Hannah Holland of London's Batty Bass collective, twisting "I Prefer Women To Men Anyway" into a Sapphic acid workout, followed by French trio dOP who extend "Carte Blanche" into a sexy stomper with heavy rhythms that contrast with smooth spoken-word. Then comes Thomas Schumacher with his synthetic take on "The Disaster," followed by Pernau with his sinister version of "Friday, Saturday, Sunday," a true weekend anthem as the title implies, and then duo Lenoir & Meriton, who lift the popcorn arpeggiation of "Wonderland" and add their own Swiss spin to create an electro-house workout. The original Teufelswerk's "U Can Dance" was one of the album's highlights, featuring legendary Roxy Music singer Bryan Ferry on vocals, and Carl Craig's two remixes from the 12" single got massive play from DJs around the world. Now the Detroit mastermind offers an unreleased third version with a notably different structure, starting out a cappella before crystallizing into an instrumental gem. Then we are treated by The Model with his relentlessly abrasive remix of "Hellracer" -- easily this collection's raviest track. Spencer Parker trims "The DJ" down to a more concise 9-minute edit for a fresh listening experience. Finally, Abe Duque brings the album to a close with his own take on "Wonderland," which makes for an experience both captivating and disorienting, much like Alice's storybook adventures. Now, any DJs with idle hands know what to add to their collection.

GIGOLO 270CD

Remixes from Hell's multi-selling masterpiece Teufelswerk (GIGOLO 250CD/LP) by all the hot names in the scene. It's been 25 years since Helmut Geier alias DJ Hell set the needle on a house track. He's been DJing house and techno in all shapes and colors ever since. It's been nearly 20 years that he released his first 12" My Definition Of House. And he launched his own imprint International Deejay Gigolos Empire 15 years ago. Time to celebrate. Time for a massive world-tour. DJ Hell represents house from Germany like no one else. He made a case for Chicago house early on in his career by playing it obsessively in his DJ sets. Amid brand new tracks, he released long-lost classics by Bobby Konders and DJ Pierre on Gigolo Records. Just in time, house is experiencing a new high. Naturally, Hell is no purist when it comes to house music. He has covered lots of ground when it comes to electronic dance music, making records with P. Diddy, Grace Jones and Bryan Ferry. He has compiled two brilliant CDs full of German new wave, and of course, he knows of the influence that Kraftwerk and the disco sound of Munich, his hometown, has had on house and techno. His music and DJ sets all reflect this knowledge. Most importantly: he knows how to rock a party. A DJ does not only celebrate himself, he celebrates the artists he respects. So it's fitting that in tandem with the tour, there is the release of 35 Teufelswerk remixes from artists handpicked by Hell, chopped up in three big chunks. The first portion is called House Remixes and there will be a party in Berlin's legendary Tresor Club to celebrate its release. Artists include: Toni Lionni, Deniz Kurtel & Wolf+Lamb, Peter Kruder, Zander VT, Ian Pooley, Andre Lodemann, Axel Boman, DJ Glen and Solomun.

GPM 034CD

2010 release. DJ Hell bestrides modern techno like a colossus: he's more than just a producer or a DJ, he's an icon, too big and individual a personality to be accommodated by any one micro-scene. Hell doesn't just represent a type of music, he represents a whole lifestyle, aesthetic and worldview -- and Body Language Vol. 9 is perhaps the closest any disc has yet come to capturing that totality. Hell's entry in Get Physical's ongoing Body Language mix series arrives in a period of considerable artistic achievement. He brings an ambition and breadth of vision to Body Language Vol. 9, culling tracks from different eras and scenes and focusing them into a veritable laser-beam of pure passion and flair. There are plenty of recent productions amid the selection -- Dixon, Will Saul, Christian Prommer all feature -- but the goal here isn't merely to take the temperature of the times; it's to create a rich, entertaining and future-proof listening experience. And so we are given a considerable insight into Hell's roots: from Klaus Schulze's kosmische epic "Stargazer" to David Sylvian's "Forbidden Colours" (taken from the Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence soundtrack), via majestic Depeche Mode instrumental "Esque" and -- in one of the album's several flashes of wry humour -- the Balanescu Quartet's incredible chamber-music rendition of Kraftwerk's "The Robots." Hell also digs deep into his collection and pulls out some of the most righteous, jacking dancefloor material you'll ever hear. Baby Ford & Eon's UK techno classic "Dead Eye," King Britt's string-heavy, funked up remix of Josh One, DJ Assassin's skipping house jam "Face In The Crowd" (Intellidread Mix), the acid-fried disco of Daniel Wang's "Warped" -- this mix is "edutainment" in the truest and best sense, and a pupil-dilating reminder of why Hell is one of the world's most enduringly popular techno DJs. This is a journey into the heart of Hell -- and it's pure heaven.

GIGOLO 268CD

This is the 12th installment in DJ Hell's much lauded and highly-anticipated annual selection of material from Gigolo artists, new and old. Thirty-one tracks, 17 exclusive and unreleased, 3 CDs, this is CD Twelve. This year, Hell has two themes, one is house music and the other is Vienna, both of which have contributed dramatically to the output from both DJ Hell and International Deejay Gigolo Records. The most obvious evidence for this statement is the critically and commercially successful Teufelswerk album from Hell. Mostly produced in Vienna by Hell and Peter Kruder, Christian Prommer and Roberto Di Gioia, the album reflects Hell's history and affinity with electronic music, providing some of the most memorable house moments of recent times and a lot of the label's output. Christian and Hell soon identified an affinity with each other's sound and chose to collaborate more on both co-productions and remixes. On CD Twelve you will find one of their first outings, which is Hell's remix of Peaches. As yet only released as a 12", this monster remix is one of 17 exclusive tracks on CD Twelve. Other artists that feature on this compilation include Makossa And Megablast, who presented a sublime 12" for Gigolo in 2009 and have returned with "Soy Como Soy" (feat. Cleydys Villalon). Three new talents Skwerl, Ken Haywakawa and Crazy Sonic present their debut releases for Gigolo, and Diskokaine presents an unreleased Skatebård remix of "Hall Of Shame." Kick-starting the compilation is David Keno's cover of Chic's "Upside Down" which is a statement in itself. Known more for his "big-on-the-blogs" alter ego Riva Starr, this cover is not only much more reserved in its sound, but it is undoubtedly a potential house classic. Following immediately with a classic house sound is DJ Linus' "Are You Ready?," already a firm favorite. Next up is the infamous, and until-now impossible-to-get-a-hold-of Soulwax re-edit of Walter Murphy's "A Fifth Of Beethoven." For those in the know, this has been a staple of many DJs across the world since its original form in the '70s, based around one of Vienna's most important musical exports. The 2nd CD kicks off with Nick Coleman's "This City I Love," a firm favorite with DJs everywhere, and G Man vs. Kusserow presents some straight-up house music. On the 3rd CD, we find the track "House Music" by Kikumoto Allstars, which was featured heavily on BBC Radio 1, as well as Hard Ton's "Forever No More." CD Twelve is one of Gigolo's most ambitious compilations to date, sculpted around a concept that will most certainly continue to shape the label's incredible future. Other artists include: Fagget Fairys, Snuff Crew, Psychonauts, Sam Lynham, Naum Gabo, Axel Boman, Oliver Ton and Ronald Christoph, Uemit Uergen, Vinyl Life, UHU, Ivano Coppola, Sei A, Herman Schwartz, Oliver Ton, Idvet, Tony Lionni, Bryan Ferry, Mugwump, Lenoir & Meriton, Henrik Schwarz, Anthony Rother, and Minitel Rose.

GIGOLO 250CD

International Deejay Gigolo label-head DJ Hell presents Teufelswerk (trans. "Devil's Work") -- Hell's masterpiece and a towering double album follow-up to 2004's NY Muscle and his breakthrough 1998 opus, Munich Machine. Across 16 exquisite tracks divided into two themes, "Night" and "Day," Hell weaves an intoxicating spell. "Night" sees Hell in more familiar nocturnal surroundings as Detroit and Chicago grooves battle the ghosts of Kraftwerk, Neu! and DAF with notable vocal contributions from Bryan Ferry and P. Diddy. On the "Day" half we find celestial vocals cascading around acoustic guitar figures as a motorik rhythm propels it ever skywards, sharing space, spiritually at least, with Pink Floyd, Hawkwind and Can. With assistance from Peter Kruder of Kruder & Dorfmeister, Christian Prommer, &Me, and Anthony Rother, Hell states: "The album is very personal," he says. "All my knowledge is there. I went back really far to the early '70s. I don't think I can make a better record." Coming from Hell, whose life mirrors his art, that's saying something. A cultural chameleon with an encyclopaedic musical knowledge and a bold sense of style, Hell has carved a reputation as the Warhol -- or should that be War-hell? -- of our generation. When Hell launched his International Deejay Gigolo empire in 1996, his rebellious creative streak gave the label a punk DIY aesthetic. An open-ended techno imprint with a natural pop sensibility, Gigolo immediately stood out and attracted like-minded artists such as Fischerspooner, Vitalic, Miss Kittin & The Hacker, Tiga, even the Pet Shop Boys, Jeff Mills and Dopplereffekt. Teufelswerk is a musical odyssey that is the sonic cumulative whole of DJ Hell's entire career.
