Georg has been writing songs since his childhood, playing in various bands as a keyboarder and saxophone player as well as experimenting with primitive recording equipment. He studied Communications in the UK, had a few jobs in the TV and film business in London and Berlin and was just thinking of starting a career with something decent when he met Alexander Barck from Jazzanova, co-founder of Sonar Kollektiv, and became serious about fulfilling his lifelong dream of releasing his own music.
In September 2003, Levin's first solo-album "Can't Hold Back" including the singles "When I'm With You", "(I got) Somebody New" and "In Your Car" hit the stores and the following tour with DJ, labelmate and production partner Dixon set the foundation for his current project WAHOO: Formerly Georg's and Dixon's imprint for remixes (i.e. Jazzanova's "That Night", Victor Davies' "Runaway Train" or Brook's "Colour Me Bad"), they are now working on an album with own compositions.

Their latest offering is the flip of their first single "Take Over Me/Make 'Em Shake It", released on Sonar Kollektiv in September 2004, now re-released by Defected Records including remixes by Kings Of Tomorrow, Isolée and Kenny Dope.
While mainly focusing on the forthcoming WAHOO Album (due in April 2006), Georg is also producing and writing songs for other artists such as longtime musical partner Clara Hill, as well as working on further solo material. His next single "Leisure Suit" will be out on Sonar Kollektiv in early 2006 .
When I'm With You
Georg Levin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caminando por la calle en la oscuridad llegó
la noche hay un efecto y se detiene el tiempo
Hoy, me dijeron que te vieron en la arena
En la fiesta de la playa en luna llena
Consecuencia de ese gran efecto y dance dance dance
Hay calor en la ciudad
Venga nos fuimos de fiesta de noche y de día
Fusión internacional baila que trae alegría
Venga que siga la fiesta de noche y de día
Dance dance dance dance
Baila de noche y de día
Dance dance dance dance
Baila de noche y de día
Dance dance dance dance
Baila de noche y de día
Día día
Hoy me dijeron que en la noche tu eres la reina
Que tu mueves la cintura con indecencia
Al llegar la noche hay un efecto y se detiene el tiempo
Tu...
No estas dispuesta a bailar sola
Sientes el ritmo y te descontrolas
Eres le envidia meneandote toda
Por eso dance dance, dance dance
Calle luna, luz de día
Negro blanco esta prendida
Ron de cana, brujería
Santa Cruz azul bahía
Poca ropa, sudaíta
Fuego puro, agua fría
La vida es un carnival
Baila de noche y de día
The lyrics of Georg Levin's song "When I'm With You" blend different languages and cultures to create a mesmerizing effect that echoes the mood of the song. The first verse talks about seeing someone in the city walking in the darkness, and how time seems to stand still when they are around. The second verse refers to seeing the same person at a beach party during a full moon, where they dance and leave an indelible impression. The chorus reflects the energy and excitement of the party, urging people to dance night and day and enjoy life's carnival.
The verses' descriptive imagery creates a sense of longing and desire, with the singer unable to resist the allure of the person they are admiring. The upbeat music accentuates the song's festive vibe while the bilingual lyrics add a layer of richness and complexity to an already intoxicating experience. The song's themes of love, sensuality, and freedom come together in a heady mix that captures the essence of the human experience.

My favorite dJ by far. I listened to a lot of music and I have specific folder of this type of music which is my favorite. One day I heard a great song in a pub and I used Shazam to find it and I listened to it on YouTube to confirm it and it was the song. So I bought it later that day but when I listened to it t sounded kinda different and dry. After researching a bt I found out I actually listened to your remix of the song. It's called wahoo don't take it personal. And I liked your remix so much I started to look for your other songs. And as it turns out, a lot of my favorite songs are actually made by you. Such as this one and I got somebody new.. Thank you
