George originally hails from Thessaloniki, the largest city of northern Greece. He was first introduced to music at the very young age of 4, when he was already training to play the piano! After developing his skills composing and producing his own tracks, George moved to New York City to pursue a degree in music technology. While attending courses to obtain the NYU's degree, he concluded his first commercial record release on UK's Low Pressings label around the beginning of 1999. Very soon, he joined the UCMG NY artist roster, decision that allowed him to release various singles for Plastic City - including his critically acclaimed debut album "Life".
Meanwhile, George had to return to Greece to do his military service for the Greek army! It was however this obligation that gave him the opportunity to found his own label "Swift Records" in 2001. Since then, things got in a row for G.Pal who still manages to compile various "tasks" at the same time, including:
The tireless production material for his own label, through the intense cooperation with Klik Records - inside Greece - and Intergroove UK - outside Greece.
The radio show for Athens' "Best 92.6" (www.bestradio.gr) radio station every Saturday night from 1-2 after midnight.
The monthly residency at LUV club in Athens, alongside his wife Anna Maria Harokopou (aka A.M.X.) and the rest of Swift Recs' friends - Christian Cambas, Stel, Nick & John Dalagelis, Mikele, DJ Tim, Mr. Roussos and others...and last, but not least...
The family! Especially, his daughter Maria Eleni, whom he keeps calling the "meaning of my life"...

But I know what feels good
If it's bumping in your car
Then it's bumping in the hood
Well since you don't know what's going on it's time to get yo attention
This ain't the hardest shit you heard me on maybe in another dimension
Third square down on my left
Circle all up on my right
Maybe this is it maybe this right
I don't know what I don't know
You don't know either
You don't know when to just quit
I just can't leave you alone
I don't know what I don't know
You don't know either
You don't know when to just quit
I just can't leave you alone
STOP
(WAIT A MINUTE)
Fuck out my face, 'for I speak my mind
All a human race we ain't got no time
What more do I gotta say to get you
Up outta here and away from me
Talking all that shit you gonna get that
(Gratata)
Bryan Silvia I ain't scared of ya
(Gratata)
If it's bumping in your hood
Then it's bumping in my hood
And it's gonna be good
I don't know what I don't know
You don't know either
You don't know when to just quit
I just can't leave you alone
I don't know what I don't know
You don't know what you don't know
I don't know what I don't know
You don't know either
You don't know when to just quit
I just can't leave you
Alone
Alone
Alone
Leave you alone, baby
I don't know what I don't know
You don't know either
You don't know when to just quit
I just can't leave you
I don't know what I don't know
You don't know either
You don't know when to just quit
I just can't leave you
Alone
Alone
Alone
Leave you alone
I don't what I don't know
Don't know what you don't want (don't know what feels good)
I don't know what you do want (if it's bumping in your car)
You don't know what you feel like (then it's bumping in your hood)
Rack pity bitch
Rack rack pity bitch
I can't find my fucking recording shit
Hahahahahaha
The lyrics of G-Pal's song "I don't know" convey a sense of uncertainty and confusion. The singer explicitly states, "I don't know what I don't know." This line suggests a lack of knowledge or understanding about certain things in life. However, despite this uncertainty, the singer expresses confidence in knowing what feels good. This could refer to a specific experience or sensation that brings pleasure and enjoyment.
The next lines indicate a connection between what is happening in a car and what is happening in the neighborhood or "hood." The singer suggests that if the music is "bumping" or playing loudly in your car, it will also be playing in the neighborhood. This creates a sense of unity and shared experiences, as the music spreads beyond individual cars and becomes a part of the community.
The following lines add a layer of complexity to the song's narrative. The singer acknowledges that they themselves don't fully understand what is going on, yet they demand attention. They acknowledge that this may not be their most challenging or intense work, indicating that they might have a more profound impact in another dimension or context. This could be interpreted as a reflection on the singer's ongoing journey of self-discovery and exploration.
The final section of the song introduces a more confrontational tone. The singer tells someone to back off or leave, using strong language to assert their boundaries and demand respect. There is a sense of frustration towards this person who keeps talking and causing trouble. The lyrics suggest that the singer is unafraid and won't be intimidated by this person, represented by the name "Bryan Silvia." The repetition of the phrase "Gratata" could symbolize the singer's determination and readiness to stand up for themselves.
Overall, "I don't know" seems to be a reflection on the singer's search for understanding and growth while facing external challenges and distractions. It conveys a mix of uncertainty, confidence, and assertiveness in dealing with the unknown and difficult situations.

I don't know what I don't know
I am unaware of the things I lack knowledge about
But I know what feels good
However, I am aware of what brings me pleasure
If it's bumping in your car
If the music is loud and enjoyable while driving
Then it's bumping in the hood
Then it is also being enjoyed by the community or neighborhood
Well since you don't know what's going on it's time to get yo attention
As you are unaware of the current situation, it is necessary to grab your attention
This ain't the hardest shit you heard me on maybe in another dimension
This may not be the most challenging music you have listened to, perhaps in another reality though

Pick a beat yeah make it tight
Select a rhythm or musical arrangement and make it impressive
Maybe this is it maybe this right
There is uncertainty, but possibility that this is the desired outcome
You don't know when to just quit
You lack the ability to determine when it is best to stop or give up
I just can't leave you alone
I find it difficult to distance myself from you
STOP
Halt or cease what you are doing
(WAIT A MINUTE)
Pause and take a moment to reflect or reconsider
Fuck out my face, 'for I speak my mind
Get out of my presence before I express my honest thoughts or opinions
All a human race we ain't got no time
As members of the human race, we are limited in time available
What more do I gotta say to get you
What additional words do I need to use to make you understand
Up outta here and away from me
Leave this place and distance yourself from me
Talking all that shit you gonna get that
Continuing to boast or provoke will result in consequences

Stop bothering or interrupting you, sweetheart
Don't know what you don't want (don't know what feels good)

You don't know what you feel like (then it's bumping in your hood)
You are unaware of your own emotions or desires

Το έλιωσα αυτο το cd...18 χρόνια μετά και συνεχίζει να είναι τόσο σύγχρονο..Το ανακάλυψα ξανά μιας και τα cd χάθηκαν, κάνοντας ατελείωτο jogging με αυτό τον ουράνιο ηλεκτρονικό ήχο.....πραγματικά genius

This is SO amazing!!!!!!! I recall listening to it back in 2004 when some of the tracks were played on air on Best Radio 92.6 Athens. On some drunk moment, I lost a whole pack of CDs i was carrying around to listen with my friends.... Now, in the trash world we live in, i was trying to recall all the amazing dancemusic during the 00s. Then, i rembebered the awesome G-PAL, searched and re-found this Diamond!!!!!

The Progressive Era had 2 parts, a Dark when you went to a party to be afraid, and a Light when you went to look for love, i guess you can find all the Love in this mix.
