Played at Burning Man as well as elsewhere in the world across the summer, Eelke Kleijn's and Lee Cabrera's 'Self Control' truly pushes Laura Branigan's 1984 into a new dimension. From the otherworldly sound effects to the sweeping pads, contagious grooves and thrusting bassline, this track is the perfect lift-off of any party.
Lyrics
Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walkin'
Down the street of my soul
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never knows
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
It's my world
City light painted girl
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Eelke Kleijn vs Lee Cabrera re-imagining of the huge italo disco Self Control is finally released with Eelke Kleijn 12AU Cosmic Aeroplane Mix. The beloved Days Like Nights owner unleashes his indie dance/nu disco beats with pumping basslines, hi-nrg synths, playful kicks, cool percussion and of course the gorgeous vocals and lyrics that instantly energize any clubber. I still remember how much I enjoyed it when Eelke dropped it in his ADE event set. The crowd went wild and nobody was standing still. Everybody was dancing and shaking like being in an old disco on a 80's Sunday night out. Particularly when the chorus like vocal shout comes in Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh! It sounds like a huge summer anthem for all those who appreciate the stunning melody and singalong lyrics. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
