2010 will be remembered as the year that Chilly Gonzales finally made it in the UK, with new album Ivory Tower receiving huge critical acclaim and best of year accolades everywhere from Clash to DJ. Add to this the heavy rotation over the airwaves (on Radio 1 from the likes of Pete Tong, Annie Mac and an upcoming live session for Rob Da Bank as well as an Xfm playlist spot), and a mention for recent single ‘Never Stop’ being chosen by Apple to soundtrack the latest iPad advert, broadcasting Chilly’s magic to millions of homes across the globe.
2011 starts with a bang, as new single ‘You Can Dance’ is released on 28 February. A euphoric hand-clap piano jamboree, you couldn’t get a more upbeat disco-soul number.
The release also comes with a clutch of remixes, including nineteen year old blog sensation Robotaki who is currently outshining all in his wake and Boysnoize Records very own Shadow Dancer.
In addition to all this marvellous news, Chilly’s brilliant and hilarious film Ivory Tower, featuring Tiga and Peaches as well as Gonzales staple Feist, is due for release on DVD later this year. Until such time, it has been picked up by the Glasgow Film Festival in February. It truly has taken on a life of its own. View more here:[link]
After storming a sold out and positively rammed-to-the-rafters Scala with his two drummers and two piano live set up in November, Chilly returns to the UK for further dates.
Live dates:
Tues 8 Feb: Glasgow ABC2
Wed 9 Feb: Liverpool The Capstone Theatre
