You Can Dance

OVERVIEW: 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 and DJ magazines to the Rough Trade Shops. With heavy airplay and that iPad commercial, ‘Never Stop’ was the track that didn’t go away. And as the buzz on James Blake grew, thanks in part to his supreme cover of the Gonzo-penned ‘Limit To Your Love’, Chilly Gonzales became more than just a name to drop. Well, 2011 starts with a bang, as new single ‘You Can Dance’ is released on the 28th of February. A euphoric hand-clap piano jamboree. You couldn’t get a more upbeat disco-soul number. Already garnering massive support over the airwaves including Radio 1’s Annie Mac (‘Record of the Week’ during the New Music Take Over) and an upcoming live session for Rob Da Bank. Check out the video here www.youtube.com/user/TheChillygonzales (viewed 300,000 times in its first two weeks online. Blimey). The release also comes with a clutch of remixes, including 19 year old blog sensation Robotaki who is currently outshining all in his wake and Boys Noize Records very own Shadow Dancer. In addition to all this, Gonzo’s brilliant and hilarious feature film Ivory Tower, staring Tiga and Peaches as well as Gonzales staple Feist, has been picked up by the Glasgow Film Festival in February. With screenings all over the world, it truly has taken on a life of its own. View more here: www.nowness.com/day/2010/9/6/953/chilly-gonzales-ivory-tower
