Introducing...Gingy & Bordello and Their FABRICLIVE Promo Mix

Carving out a unique position in today’s electronic music scene, Gingy & Bordello have gained a reputation for being the names behind some of the more challenging and avant-garde releases in Tiga’s Turbo Recordings discography. Providing high notes of originality and flare through their approach to sound design and DJing, the pair join a bill encompassing some of today’s most celebrated artists for the release of FABRICLIVE: 60, mixed by Brodinski. With their 'Body Acid' EP fresh this week on Turbo, a string of more releases in sight and their appearance here in our Room One on Friday, we thought it was about time we caught up with the pair for a quick chat. They also put together a special FABRICLIVE Promo Mix sure to get us in the mood for Friday. DOWNLOAD: Gingy & Bordello’s FABRICLIVE Promo Mix You first began work together in 2009 with 'Vaporizer'. How did you guys meet and then eventually decide to start working on some tunes together? We met in 2008 at University. Gingy was throwing the only remotely cool parties in town, and Bordello somehow found his way to them every week. Fate would have it that we had exceedingly similar taste in dance music and shitty 3am pho noodles. We skirted around the edges of our budding love/hate relationship until we finally took it to the next level: two guys, in a dark room… making music together. Bordello, am I right in thinking you interned at Turbo Recordings? Is this how you met Tiga and eventually put something out on the imprint? Bordello: Well, sort of. I interned at Turbo for a year, and that is where I met Tiga. Early on in my internship I made no mention to him that I made music though… It just so happened that I got billed to open for him a couple of months after I started my internship. The last track I played before he went on was our track 'Body Acid'. It was sort of the classic A&R scenario… he liked it, asked to keep the CD-R, and played it the next weekend in Amsterdam. He emailed me the following morning saying he wanted the track for Turbo. You've got forthcoming releases on a list of credible labels for 2012 - can you tell us about any of these? I heard your ZZT remix has had great reactions. Yeah, we've been in heavy remix mode for the past couple of months. Off the top of our heads, we have remixes for Deepchild on Thoughtless (featured in our mix), our brothers-in-arms Jokers of the Scene on Fool's Gold, Michel Cleis coming out next week on More Music, and yes, the mix we did of ZZT which will be out sometime next year on Turbo. Are there any releases you're particularly looking forward to? There's always new releases we're caning but there are two that are of particular interest to us. We just helped A&R a friend of ours who is going to be releasing on Turbo in a few months. His name is Nautiluss and he recently put out a record on Untold's label Hemlock. The other is a Soundcloud discovery we made, this Belgian guy named Locked Groove, who just so happens to have a killer record coming out on Scuba's Hotflush label in January. Do you have any original Gingy & Bordello releases in the pipeline? Yeah, we just finished an EP which we might just test out this Friday at Fabric. You're playing here at Fabric this Friday, what can we expect from your set and is there anybody you're particularly looking forward to seeing? We play the closing set so you can expect a lot of big techno records that will fit perfectly for the main room. We're genuinely excited to see everyone play. Every DJ brings something to the fray… Stopmakingme is an ever rising talent with heaps of skill. Jacques Lu Cont is an absolute legend and needs no further introduction. Gesaffelstein is certainly the man of the moment whom we're really excited to see play live. As for Brodinski… well he's Brodinski!
