An extension of a 1979 classic by Gina X Performance, the electro pioneers who fused Euro-disco synth pop with an arthouse performance sensibility and sexually provocative imagery. 'C'est La Vie Ma Cherie' showcases Gina Kikoine's much-imitated detached, narrative vocal style, set above an irresistible groove, lovingly given the contemporary dance floor touch by Peza. The song was dedicated to Quentin Crisp, the writer and self-styled 'stately homo', the 'No GDM' lyric and original title referring to the unattainable 'great dark man' of his sexual imaginings.

Gina X Performance (the group consisting primarily of Gina X on vocals and Zeus B. Held on production) were way ahead of their time. Their dark blend of synths, detached vocals and infectious grooves do not easily lend themselves to conventional categorization. Their "hit", No G.D.M, is a prime example. In an era of mostly meaningless lyrics (at least on the dance floor), Gina X were producing songs dedicated to Quentin Crisp, an early 20th century figure known for effeminate mannerisms, social critiques through his writing and one man theatre productions that would bring him to a wider audience later in his life. The song tittle, No G.D.M., was a reference to a Crisp quote in his book, the Naked Public Servant, that there was "no great dark man". If you want a deeper insight into that quote, you won't find it here.

All that aside, this track has such a groove you almost forget Gina is singing about lesbians and death, among other things. The edit slices up the original and stretches it out, reworking the vocals to lend the whole track a more dubby vibe and adding some slight percussion and sound manipulation. It also bumps the tempo up a bit to 118 from around 110. Enjoy!

As always, if you dig the edit, please repost and share and do yourself and the artist a favor and check out more of their work!

The first single from Diagrams' new album "Chromatics" out now! Available to buy here: http://bit.ly/1ocqKNp

First pressing comes with bonus instrumental version of the entire album. 

When songwriter and producer Sam Genders last donned his Diagrams hat, captive listeners found themselves truly stunned by the Streatham Hill artist’s imaginative and inventive arrangements that made up 2012's debut album Black Light. Having now upped sticks from his London lodgings and settled in Sheffield with a new lease of life and wife, fresh pastures and friendships are what form the heart of Diagrams’ brand new album Chromatics.
“Relationships are a constant thread. In all their frustrating, exciting, mundane, beautiful, wonderful, sexy, scary glory,” reveals Genders of the album’s themes. “And there's lots of hope in the songs. They shouldn't be taken too literally mind you... in my head Chromatics is life in Technicolor; with all its ups and downs.”
Whilst Black Light fizzed with electronic effects, synth-bass, programmed beats and low-key funk grooves that brought about comparisons to the leftfield pop of Arthur Russell, Metronomy, Steve Mason and Hot Chip, it’s without doubt that Genders’ next offering falls closer to home comforts and marks the next step in Genders’ renaissance. Take lead track ‘Phantom Power’; it’s the track which truly sums up what it’s like to find yourself forever reassessing. “It's about feeling like you're losing a grip on your sanity at one moment, then feeling inspired and up for anything the next. Or frustration with yourself yet believing that it's possible to sort yourself out,” explains Genders.
