Gigolo's most successful release came in 2001, with Vitalic's Poney EP (which included techno favourite "La Rock 01" on the B-side). This EP was remastered and re-issued in 2006. The label also releases showcase compilations, sometimes called "We Are Gigolo", of which there are now twelve volumes. After several successful years in Munich, the label moved its office to Berlin in the mid-2000s.

gollark: My chance of death is still pretty low, but if I cared much I would probably try and set up a convoluted scheme of some kind where people can get access to some amount of my stuff given m of n cryptographic keys in different places.
