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.

Old Friend

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!

Gina X - No GDM (Sine Qua Non Edit)

Lily, can you hear me
I'm calling out your name
Am I more, am I more
Than just a friend

Cause I've been feeling restless
Won't you ease my pain
Is this more, is this more
Than just a game

I can make you feel alright now, darling
If you just let me
Make you feel alright now, baby
If you let me in

Cause you're looking like a dream come true
And even though it's not me and you
We can pretend, they won't have a clue

So take it away, take it away, take it all away

When the night comes crawling I think of you
I'm not asking for much, I'm not asking for it all

They say I'm crazy, darling.
That I won't last.
Say it again one last time;
That I'm not asking for it all.

MY LOVE*

I've been chasing horizons that will never come.
Eyes fixed on the illusion; till the day I'm done, you're the only one.
