If you haven't had your cup of coffee yet, then let this Lee "Scratch" Perry remix of Gang Gang Dance's "Mindkilla" do what it can to confuse, energize, and fill your cup this morning. Not a huge Gang Gang Dance fan, to be perfectly honest. I can "get" just about everything on some sort of level. I can "get" the dance grooves that surge through each GGD release, and understand where it all fits in. I also absolutely love just about everything I've heard [...]
While 2011 has already proved to be a great year for new music, at the same time I've been a little surprised at the lack of solid remixes. With a couple new Radiohead remixes on the way though, and this new one from reggae legend Lee "Scratch" Perry of Gang Gang Dance's "Mindkilla" arriving today, it appears as if we still have plenty to look forward to. This "Mindkilla" remix is definitely one of the best I can recall in recent memory though, with Perry slowing down the original melody and completely turning the track on its head with his [...]
Nothing but love for this crazy Jamaican vibe in Lee "Scratch" Perry 's remix of Gang Gang Dance 's tribal-infused MindKilla , turning "a song about fear into a club banger about eating cops." mp3 Gang Gang Dance - MindKilla (Lee "Scratch" Perry Remix)
In further support of their recently released LP Eye Contact , NYC-based avant dance band Gang Gang Dance have mapped out another leg of U.S. tour dates for this fall. Following their previously announced trek in July, which includes an appearance at the Pitchfork Music Festival , the band will resume their travels beginning September 23rd at Cincinnati MidPoint Music Festival . Find the band's entire touring schedule below. Along with the tour announcement, Gang Gang Dance has also dropped a Lee "Scratch" Perry remix of [...]
Gang Gang Dance's new album Eye Contact (pictured above) is definitely one of my favorites so far this year. It is an album that is simultaneously bizarre and off the wall yet familiar and has some sweet grooves and hooks in it. So I am definitely pumped that the band has expanded their tour date schedule and doubly pumped that they will be here in Dallas to perform at Club Dada on September 28th. I highly recommend checking out their album and the tour. For a taste of the band [...]
The legendary Lee Scratch Perry re-works the latest single from GGD . Scratch says: "I did have a great fun in the studio in Negril (Jamaica) recreating the riddim. The ingeneers and people around also enjoyed the vibes and the great voice of Lizzi. All the blessings for the remix from LSP." mp3: Gang Gang Dance :: Mindkilla (Lee Scratch Perry remix) Gang Gang Dance :: Mindkilla
Hotcakes are proudly introducing a new feature this month. It is called Baker's Dozen, in which we will be revealing the 13 tracks that have hit us hardest over the past month.

We still have plenty of time and music left in 2011, but since we're at the halfway (or so) mark, we thought it made sense to pause and take stock of the best albums of the year so far. There was some science behind the final tally: Each one of us made a list and assigned points to the records on it; Scott handled the complex mathematics and figured out the exact rankings based on those results. (Not all the bands each one of us voted for made it onto the Top 20, so we've also included smaller lists of [...]
All Photographs by Jan Kucic-Riker Primavera Sound is an overwhelming and vastly stimulating music pilgrimage made each year to Barcelona, Spain. Over two hundred bands across eleven stages and timetables that schedule sets well past five in the morning make the musical mecca a monstrous undertaking. Fortunately, 140,000 music lovers joined me over the course of the three main days and two satellite events to dance, sing, and even swim at the Parc del Fòrum and Poble Espanyol. The eclectic line-up saw everything from unabashed hip-hop to captivating folk ballads and electronic DJ sets. Though the scheduling [...]
Gang Gang Dance "Sacer" It was somewhat shocking for me to realize that this song has proper lyrics, and in English, no less. Lizzi Bougatsos' voice on this track is high-pitched and just about incomprehensible - she conveys of feeling in her melody, but words don't quite form even though they are apparently in there somewhere. The approach to the vocals is very Cocteau Twins, but the mood of the piece is harder to peg. ( Sean T. Collins compares the song to T'Pau , but I don't really hear that. He's right on about the [...]

[ via ] As if Gang Gang Dance's new album, Eye Contact , wasn't packed with enough bangers; here's an extra off the LP that didnt quite make the release...Kind of wish it were.

26-28 May, 2011 The final part of our round-up of Primavera. Parts 1 and 2 can be found here and here respectively Saturday Due to bad planning on my part, myself and my travelling partner have to check out early in the morning on the Saturday after 5 hours sleep. We at this point know our flight is at 10.20 the following morning, and with airport transfers and such, it will be 30 hours before we will be able to be comfortably horizontal. [...]
Sin duda, Eye Contact de Gang Gang Dance es uno de los mejores discos de este año, el disco esta lleno de pasajes especiales muy bailables, a los que solo la banda de NY podría llevarnos. "Bond" es una rola extra que viene en la versión japonesa, es un poco diferente a las demás rolas debido a que sigue una linea un poco más tranquila. ♩ Gang Gang Dance - Bond
