Turbo
Recordings... International
Deejay Gigolos is the Munich -based record label ran by techno legend
DJ Hell. Started in 1996, the label
quickly established itself as THE definitive cult label....a label
where you could find everyone from Jeff Mills to downtempo electro....where
every release was unified by Hell's personal taste and the highest
standards. Over the years this has become the "Gigolo"
sound, an open and adventurous musical style that laughs in the
face of convention, fusing raw acid-house with electro, nu-wave
and synth-pop. Long before the electro-revival and the vocoded pop
songs, Gigolo was pioneering the way, ,influencing a new generation
of producers, and winning over a global following that has made
it one of the biggest independent labels in Europe.
With
a roster that includes techno icons Dave Clarke, Jeff Mills and
DJ Hell and Gigolo Stars David Caretta, Miss Kittin and The Hacker,
DJ Naughty, The Advent, DMX Krew, Dopplereffect and many more.....the
Gigolo label reads like a who's who of electro-techno. New signings
like Fischerspooner, Tiga and Zyntherius, Savas Pascalidas and Vitalic......are
all artists that take chances, and all artists that area are poised
to take modern music to new heights. Even Marc Almond has had a
record on Gigolo!
American
Gigolo is an introduction to the sound of this seminal label. Tiga
(Montreal based DJ/producer) has gone through the labels first 80
releases and hand selected the critical tracks, mixing them together
for a seamless trip from vocal synth-pop to nu-wave techno. In a
genre of music which is so often lacking in character, humor and
vision....Gigolo excels. It is with utmost pride and confidence
that Turbo presents a new sound and a new family of artists to North
America............Long Live Gigolo.
