- I like dancin’...wait, scratch that, I luurve dancin’. I’m not saying I’m any good at it, but I’m also not saying I’m embarrassed about this or the fact that my first statement was both cheesy and shameless. Although “Dance” music can sometimes be a little constrictive for my tastes. There are a few purveyors worldwide of my kinda dancin’material. Ed Banger and Kitsune Maison are two, and the third of my personal trinity of awesomeness is Modular, from just across the ditch in Australia. Modular have bought us the likes of: The Presets, Cut Copy, Ladyhawke, New Young Pony Club, Muscles and much, much more. Which is why I am stoopid-excited that Modular’s premiere DJ troop “Bang Gang” are playing for the first time in Wellington. The Bang Gang Djs are a phenomenon in themselves. Far more than just Djs, they were pioneers in what has become a worldwide explosion of musical eclecticism on dancefloors. Starting in 2003 as a club night, they quickly attracted attention for their forward thinking, open music policy and hands down fun-as-f**k parties. They are now extensively travelled, playing all over the world. If you have seen them elsewhere you’ll know what I’m talking about. Their ‘Light Sound Dance’ mix CD of 2007 (known as LSD) has started many a party at mine, and they are now touring in support of the new one: “D is for Disco, E is for Dancing”. Expect everything from electro to techno to indie to disco to hip hop to rock to funk to house and moooore…all with tongue firmly in cheek, and all with moving feets in mind. Bang Gang. Saturday October 18th at Good Luck. With wingmen Marek and Kev Fresh. Presales are $15 and are available now from Real Groovy, Good as Gold, Good Luck and undertheradar.co.nz. You can download for freeeee a taster or two of their steeze (as well as a preview of the new cd) at www.banggangpodcast.com. - Chrisana
