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.
