Happy Mio New Year Gigolo Party

Life in the provincial town of Borna, located nearby Stuttgart, was quiet and peaceful until 1972 when Mick Wills was born there. From an early age, Mick was known for his incredible sense of fashion. Even as a fourteen-year-old teenager, Mick started DJing. And what records he spun! They were the crème de la crème of the new wave at the time: Depeche Mode, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Anne Clarke. By 1988, when Europe was hit by the Hi-Energy and Acid House epidemic, Mick was ready for it. He knew the addresses of all the record shops in Stuttgart like the back of his hand. However, many of them no longer satisfied Wills' needs in '91, so the 'poor' Mick had to travel to Frankfurt to listen to and play new records. Around the same time, he developed a new hobby. Wills started visiting vinyl second-hand stores, collecting then-unwanted funk and disco records. Wills understood perfectly that this music will be back. After moving to a metropolis, Mick began assisting in organizing techno parties. There he had the honor of getting acquainted with the entire elite of the German techno scene, including DJ Hell. Becoming an authoritative DJ and touring all of Europe, Wills, alongside Klaus Bahr, opened their internet radio station at www.cosmium.net. Soon he became one of the International DeeJays Gigolo. Music Despite being a long-time friend of Gigolo founder Hell, Wills' releases on this label only started coming out relatively recently. The musician's first EP 'Atomic' was released only in October 2001. Wills' sound is unique even among the vast array of Gigolo releases. It's charming electro-techno with unique 'wild' guitar riffs that immediately bring to mind the new wave of the eighties. With dance music leaning back towards rock 'n' roll (enough to remember the ultra-modern Rapture, Radio 4, LCD Soundsystem), Mick might just ride the wave of the new movement and become a disco star. By the way, it seems that many Gigolo projects are gearing up to learn the 'three chords' on the guitar. Judging by the label's recent releases and the success of the Fat Truckers group (during their visit to Moscow, they mentioned they hate electronic music), Hell is steering his brainchild in that direction. Even his own techno tracks he now prefers to release on the Disco B label. Rok German techno DJ Rok started collecting vinyl as a child. At fifteen, he began spinning records at a local disco, completely neglecting school. But that didn't bother Rok. The looming house music revolution interested him much more than the basics of mathematical analysis. Berlin promoters became Rok's new teachers. Soon, he started playing in small clubs in the capital. There, the guys from UFO - one of the first superclubs in Berlin - noticed him, and Rok became a resident at UFO for a long time. The next destination for Rok was the great club-label Tresor, which became a milestone in techno history. Since then, Rok rarely managed to get a good night's sleep. Rok has played for all kinds of audiences: whether in the famous Electro club, which fits a maximum of 30 people, or at a massive rave like Mayday. Rok's DJ roots somehow go deep into the underground. Playing at raves in abandoned factories and bomb shelters in the early '90s is something Rok will never forget. In his opinion, it was during that time that the cult called Techno was created. A very important step in Rok's career was his first independent music production in 1996. Rok enjoyed it so much that he locked himself in the studio for a long time, coming out only to release his creations on labels like Gigolo, Muller, and Tresor.
