Bonjour Monsieur !
Gary Go has recently collaborated with Parisian electro darling Monsieur Adi on his forthcoming EP ‘Fire Fire Fire’. The result of their collaboration is the epic “Last Stand”. The song has gone through various stages, and just got better and better. Keep an eye out for the record, coming soon.
Arjan Writes music blog had this to say about the song :
“After releasing an EP of instrumental tracks, Adi has been collaborating with British pop singer Gary Go to put together an EP of original vocal productions. Adi writes that the EP will feature a “mixture of electronique with the orchestral to create emotional and uplifting songs, all backing the pitch-perfect vocals of Gary Go.”
Listen to the lead track of that EP to hear what Adi and Go have been up to. “Last Stand” is a highly charged slice of emotive and atmospheric dance pop that perfectly fuses Adi’s soundboard savvy and knack for creating grand sonic soundscapes with Go’s gutwrenching delivery. This is dynamite stuff.”
Knocks make Magic in Japan!
Following the amazing reception in their home land of the USA, the newly released song “Magic” by The Knocks feat. Gary Go has hit the top 30 on Japan’s iTunes Dance Chart. The song is the title track from the new Knocks EP which features three songs written and produced in collaboration with Gary Go at The Whipping Club studios in London.

Gary Go Performing at SANREMO Festival
Gary Go will be performing a duet with Italian sensation Emma Marrone at this years legendary Sanremo music festival in Sanremo Italy, to be held on Feb 16th, 2012.

Other artists performing this year include Professor Green, Brian May and Patti Smith. Gary will be duetting with Emma as part of a celebration of great Italian songwriters and composers and will be performing the rather chirpy “Il Paradiso” written by Gary’s favourite Italian songwriter Lucio Battiste.
“Will be an honour for me to be part of paying tribute to one of Italy’s greatest contemporary songwriters and artists in Italy! Also looking forward to being on stage with Emma. She has a massive voice and is beautiful.”
New Year – New Music
Gary Go is very pleased to have released his new soundtrack NOW WAS ONCE THE FUTURE available exclusively through the GARYGO web store and also available to stream in full on the pop out audio player via SOUNDCLOUD . NWOTF is ‘A story of the last day of love.’ Here’s what Gary has to say:
Gratitude to everyone who has purchased and been listening to my new soundtrack NWOTF. Miss Elephanté has only just begun her journey. This is a true story we have all written or are writing. Maybe. In our lives. Somehow. This is one day. Or two. A moment. Frozen forever.
Hope you have a chance to experience the full bandwidth files on the CD and also to see and feel the soul in the stunning artwork by Kaonashi. The attention to detail and the spirit of the music infused in the cover really satisfies my soul. The back cover is an incredible visual composition informed by the length, soundwaves and mood of each song and there’s a few hidden messages in there for the perceptive eye. Kaonashi was actually biking through India (where the Elephant is a prominent and important symbol) while creating the sleeve. Obviously not riding and photo-shopping at the same time, as that would be dangerous, though very impressive. The CD is a limited edition. There are also some signed screen printed limited NWOTF posters available.
CD over MP3- For those of you who are unaware of this…there is a difference between the audio quality between a CD and an mp3. MP3 files carry considerably less audio information than the files contained on a CD. This does not affect the story, but if you appreciate sound quality like I do, then treat yourself. I secretly want you all to experience the music in it’s full glory. [CD buyers automatically receive a link to the MP3 download as well].
The musicians and production team involved with NWOTF are the best of the best. So grateful to everyone involved and we are all grateful to you for listening. Thank you.
An elephant never forgets. NOW WAS ONCE THE FUTURE.

#1 – CLOSE TO ME
CLOSE TO ME, Gary’s new collaboration with Benny Benassi is #1 in the UK Club Charts this week!
This follows their #1 UK and Billboard summer singalong CINEMA. They shot a little live video for the song while touring the US this summer which premiered earlier this month on RollingStone.com
The song has been released with some incredible, adrenalin rushing remixes by R3hab and Michael Woods.
Gary Go says of the song..”It’s a funny thing with the Benassi collaboration, a new way of working for me. There’s something primal about it..raw energy. For ‘Close To Me’ I turned the speakers up very loud in my studio and recorded my vocal with the speakers blaring, so I was feeling like I was in a club. It’s just one take, kind of stream of consciousness and I sent it to Benassi and his co-producer Alle as a rough idea and they just say, ‘this is it!’…so I don’t get a chance to second guess or re-record or change. Sometimes there’s something good about not over-thinking. On my own records, when I’m in charge, I don’t always have someone to tell me ‘this is it!’ and I like the energy of that. It’s real.”
CLOSE TO ME from the ELECTROMAN album by Benny Benassi is out now!
GGGGGOLD!
Thank you Canada for making CINEMA a GOLD record! You are ace.

In between putting the finishing touches to NWOTF, NYC duo ‘The Knocks’ camped out with me in my studio for a little bit, to stir up some Magic for their soon to be released EP titled “Magic”, curiously enough.
