well well.. it only seems like yesterday that i was whinging about how cold it was. one blink and ive suddenly find myself smack bang in the middle of november and right at the feet of what is surely going to be the best summer ever . it seems that modular are every bit as excited for the 'silly' season as everyone else.. accordingly, they have decided to throw 2 massive parties in sydney and melbourne ... maybe its their way of say "thanks" for supporting them through a tough 2009. or [...]
Where will you be this New Year's Eve? If you don't know the answer to that question you should come get SWEATY with Muscles. You know why? Because the one man dance party will take a break from early retirement , bagging out his label and awkward conversations with Ben Lee to play his first live set since 2008 at Cargo Bar's NYE On The Harbour party. Joining him will be Ladyhawke (DJ Set), Bang Gang Deejays (Ajax, Dangerous Dan, Jaime Doom, Gus Da Hoodrat), Beni, Anna Lunoe [...]
The Prodigy Remixed Yukesk and Bang Gang 's Hoodrat & DOOM got down and dirty with some of The Prodigy 's latest works. Here's some nicely crafted remixes from two of my favorites. If your in the mood for some breaks, be sure to catch The Prodigy as the group is currently touring Europe and has plans to hit up Australia in March. You can find the show nearest you here .

Next Monday I'm going to go out and buy a pair of Levi's. Okay so that was a lie. Their adverts are hilariously edgy. They make me want to be in a band and sleep in my car and then lie. The best I can do is go to the Levi's 5 Night Revue that's taking over the Shoreditch area next week and boy have they saved the best until last. Monday = Cherbourg (Andrew Davie solo) + Goldheart Assembly + Young Rebel Set Tuesday = Crystal Fighters + Violens + Wild Palms Wednesday [...]
" Sonic Youth are like the Beatles to me" - That quote from Untied States ' Skip Engelbrecht in 2003 was my first introduction to this band, and it resonated deeply with me at the time because it echoed exactly how I felt. A year later they released their first full length, Ineffable, By Design , and it turned out to be one hell of a debut and the most criminally underrated record to ever come out of this city. Rather than falling in the all too common pitfall of simply ripping off [...]
This mix by the Bag Raiders is full of arpeggiated fazed out goodness for your weekend chill/pre party time. They are coming out with their first official album in 2010 and we can't wait! In 2 years time they have gone from quirky Aussie electro group to serious music makers in the vein of Fred Falke, Chris Menace. Props on this mix Bang Gang 12's ! Bag Raiders - Mini Mix Tracklisting: [...]
If you're still up in the air about what to do this New Years Eve, come back down to earth because Purple Sneakers has got a rip snorter of a House Party for you to attend. The first round of tickets has already sold out so there isn't any time for any umming and ahhing and with Aussie rockers The Grates welcoming you into 2010 there isn't really a justifiable reason why you wouldn't go. They'll be backed up by The Boxer Rebillion all the way from the UK, Ponytail and [...]
The Prodigy 's 'Love it or Hate it' album 'Invaders Must Die' is having one of those deluxe re-release jobs done to it with a three disc special edition of 'Invaders Must Die' hitting the shelves on November 9th.

Here's a free Mp3 from Liam Prodigy to celebrate the fact that it'll probably be quite good. ♫ The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die (Liam H's re-amped [...]

Those awfully kind guys over at Bang Gang 12's dropped over this remix they did for Beni 's 'Maximus' which sadly didn't make it to the release package. It seems a shame, it's rather bloody good and I almost feel guilty for posting it, such is it's quality. It's a full 320, enjoy, play it out to the masses and further spread the good word of Bang Gang & Beni. ♫ Beni - Maximus (Bang Gang's 'When in Rome' Remix) [ M ] ← ♥ [...]

The Prodigy will release a Special Edition of 'Invaders Must Die' on Nov 11th as a 2 CD/1 DVD set featuring remixes from top artists. I'm lovin' the Yuksek remix. This is a collection that shows off both a band at the peak of their live powers and a collection of some of the most vital contemporary music being made by anyone today. Track [...]
[photographie de Jeanette Beckman ] Les playlisters se sont mis sur leur 31 (octobre) pour cette 22ème playlist de play-list. Nous espérons que vous en ferez autant pour aller fouiller à l'intérieur : les filles en robe de soirée, les garçons en costume. Attention, la direction se réserve le droit d'entrée ! Musique : [...]
Some of you may have been lucky enough to see the sublimely chaotic Stereo Total at The Luminaire in London town on Thursday. If you did, you will also have been unlucky enough to witness my brief cameo during their set... It certainly wasn't a planned appearance... And it was mighty strange being on a stage with nothing to do, so I grabbed Françoise's drum sticks and banged along Stray Cats-style on a bar stool. Then I accidentally hit her on the hand (oops), then all of a sudden I was the filling in [...]
im kind of ashamed to admit it, but so much of my early electronic music education came straight off the early bang gang podcasts. i dont particularly know much about the scene pre bang gang (cos i was only a wee nipper) but i like the direction that they took it when they were at the helm. this particular piece of friday bliss was lifted from some early mix that they did (possibly one of the first two buttfuck mixes by gus ?).. i had no idea that the affable geyster was [...]
image: via flickr GLOVES OF COURSE. Also known as Yama Indra of Damn Arms + being a Bang Gang 123 artist it's obvious he's good. Now is GLOVES starting to sound familiar? Of course, because you've heard his material here and here . He's blessed us this morning with his latest work remixing The Scare 's upcoming single. If any of you follow my tweets , you may recognize this track from the funky little 'Body Torque' minimix that GLOVES whipped [...]
MGMT проговорились, что собираются выпустить новый альбом в начале 2010 года, и называться он будет Congratulations и по звучанию он будет более мрачный, чем дебютный альбом. «Песня Congratulations сама по себе мрачная», - комментирует участник группы James VanWyngarden : «Она о нас, пытающихся справиться со всем безумием, что происходит вокруг нас тех пор, как вышел первый альбом. Зачастую все вокруг становиться настолько искусственным&raq uo;. Альбом пишется уже на протяжении последних 9 месяцев в Малибу. Drum'n'bass диджея и продюсера Mistabishi обвинили в том, что он в своих сетах играл заранее смиксованные треки. [...]
