INFO
"We always felt like we missed the boat a little. Looking back it feels ahead of what was going on." The first Gigolo release of 2010 is the closing track of much lauded Psychonauts al bum. Original released in 2003, we have lovingly re-mastered, re-packaged and re -released, with a bonus track, arguable one of the most inspiring albums in danc e music. So it seems fitting to start the end the decade with something from the beginning and to introduce the re-release of this marvellous album, with the en d. Confused? Well that's OK, in the words of Michael J. Gelb 'Confusion is the w elcome mat at the door of creativity... '

'9 times out of 10 a song w ould start with a musical sample and a drum loop and we would start building wit h instruments or more samples.' 'Take Control' falls into the 90% bracket of the above quote, but in this instance Paul and Pablo had Sam Lynham in mind when th ey came to the writing. As the writer and vocalist for the band Gramme Sam was a t the forefront of the late 90's Post-Punk revival setting the blueprint for ban ds like The Rapture and The Gossip to follow. Taking a rough Demo to Floods Assa ult and Battery studio the three set out recording and writing the rest of the s ong. Samples, synths and then Dave Bateman's bass and weird atmospheric noises w ere all recorded and mixed and the song finally took shape as a constantly evolv ing, genre-defining piece of music that takes a almost regal place as the album swan song.

In the spirit of all good creativity, here comes the contr adiction, this re-release comes with two very genre specific remix's that we at Gigolo like to call Techno. First up is Naum Gabo aka Jonnie Wilkes (Optimo memb er) and James Savage who's remix credentials include Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip a nd MGMT. Taking the original song and placing it into a very daring arrangement, the likes of which we have not seen since Kenny Dopes 'The Bomb.' On the flip s ide is Psycatron, recent R&S and Planet E signing and Beatport chart topper (6 w eeks in the Top 20 – crikey), providing a dubbier affair. What the track l acks in Vocals it makes up for in Dance floor Dynamic, which we expect to featur e heavily at Bergheim for most of 2010, the Time that year forgot...
