    "Self Control" is a song by Italian singer Raf, released in 1984. It was written by Giancarlo Bigazzi, Steve Piccolo and Raf, and arranged by Celso Valli. The track topped the charts in Italy and Switzerland, and started the explosion and dominance of Italo disco-style recordings in continental European charts during the 1980s.

    That same year, "Self Control" was covered by American singer Laura Branigan, whose version reached No. 1 in countries such as Austria, Canada, Germany and Switzerland, as well as No. 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Both versions of the song were commercially successful across Europe during much of the summer of 1984, with Branigan's rendition becoming the most successful single of the year in Germany and Switzerland.

    "Self Control" has become one of the defining songs of the 1980s, with a number of remakes recorded each year. Notable covers include Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin in 1993, a dance remake by Branigan in 2004, Royal Gigolos in 2005 and Danish dance group Infernal in 2006.

    Nearly there! Thanks everyone for your tracks. I have received 3 mixes, so we need to find a compromise before we mark this one off as complete. I will try to fine tune the final mix in the next couple of days. If anyone wants to work on the final mix, you are most welcome to.

    I am only saving the changes I made when listening to the song in the DAW for my reference. I don't intend to submit them as final mix settings. :)

    I contacted Tony via private message and he said he would do it. He may have other collabs in front, so we just have to wait :)
