Zhi-Vago

Zhi-Vago is a dreamhouse project consisting of the producers Claudio Mangione and Gottfried Engels (who also stands behind the project Bellini). They started with a track called With Or Without You, a cover version of the U2-song. But the U2 management forbade the version, considering there should not be a dance version of this song. The first succesful single was Celebrate the Love with vocals of Joan Wilson. It included a Radio version, an Over the clouds mix and a Club mix. It was released under the Edel sub-label Gang Go Music. A Remix Edition followed.
