Paul Tognelli - Take Control

I first came across Paul Tognelli through a Deadmau5 bootleg he did. This young talent from Annecy, France, was constantly delivering one high energy edit after another, many of which I still play in my sets to this day. When we met in person during one of my shows in Toulouse, I told him I’d be happy to support him on Mainground with a strong single release. That single became Take Control.

The result is something truly refined. Powerful energy, crystal clear production, and a track I genuinely love.
