"This album is fucking awesome. Right from the moment I heard it. I discovered Iggy and the MC5 through the NME in 1976, after I saw the Sex Pistols in June of '76, and was reading about it. That was the place to go to find out about gigs and whatever. A family friend of mine who was a bit older than me, he was fantastic at finding this stuff, he was the guy that actually took us to the show, Ian – his brother Neil was about my oldest friend, and he took us down there. That is an experience in itself. And then you find out without doubt Iggy really is the godfather of punk. That's one of the best titles. You hear about J.B. being the godfather of soul; Iggy without doubt is the godfather of punk. Again, what's brilliant about Fun House is the engineering, the sound is so heavy, it's just magnificent. His voice, the grooves, everything about it, it's as great as it was when it was released. It – will – never – die. This is an eternal record. I think I might have freaked Iggy out a little. He did a small show in Cannes, during the film festival. It was a tiny gig, but he was awesome. And I'm standing in the front of the audience, literally singing along to every word. He played most of the stuff from that thing, and I don't think he knew who I was or anything, but I'm like bobbing my head, going nuts, it was the first time I'd ever seen him perform live; he's such a great live performer. Obviously the music I make isn't influenced by it, but that doesn't mean to say you can't love it. I have a profound respect for him. I even love Raw Power – the sound is very odd on Raw Power, but that's what's kind of great about it, it sounds so weird. But Fun House is the one that just encapsulates them for me."

Big Gigantic is an electronic outfit based in Boulder, Colorado. Not too long ago, they released a melodic electronic tune, entitled, “You’re the One”, featuring topline sensation Nevve.

“‘You’re the One’ is about reminding yourself that you’re unique and special in your own way and that the path to something greater lies within you. Loving one another is important, but it all begins with loving yourself. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it. We are so inspired by each and every one of you and the stories of resilience, grace, and strength you have shared with us are truly moving. You are ALL the ones.” – Big Gigantic

‘You’re the One’ tells an interesting tale of a young guy who is on a mission to succeed. In the dead of the night, he gets a feeling inside telling him that he’s the one.

‘You’re the One’ contains a relatable storyline, ear-welcoming vocals, and horn-filled instrumentation flavored with a positive vibe.

“We’re so excited to start this next phase of Big Gigantic. We’re starting the process of looking directly inward with our song ‘You’re The One’. The theme of the song is loving yourself, which in this day is something we could all do more of. We put so much pressure on ourselves to succeed, do the best we can, be the best we can, and keep up with others around us. That pressure can easily turn from something positive and motivating, into something negative and uninspiring. It can lead to some dark places so it’s important to take a step back and remember to take time to love yourself.” – Big Gigantic

Big Gigantic consists of Dominic Lalli (saxophonist, producer) and Jeremy Salken (drummer).

They are known for their epic live show, which has been showcased at major festivals such as Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, ACL, Ultra, Outside Lands, Hangout, HARD, Governors Ball, Electric Forest and more.

Also, they’ve sold out their own headlining festival, Rowdytown, at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, with (10k+ tickets) every year since 2012.
