Bag Raiders need no introduction i’d like to think, but if you don’t know check there myspace or seriously consider using your time on the internet more effectively. I have a new track off there Big Fun EP released on A-Trak’s Imprint Fool’s Gold Records, the EP features a new original and two remixes from XXXchange and Jan Driver both are new takes on the already remixed, Turbo Love and Fun Punch.

Your in luck today i have the original track that is beats provided by bag raiders and vocals by Donnis, to pretty good effect its a bit different to what we have seen from them but i’m pretty excited for their debut album.

Bang Gang just released free to the world ‘One Million Volts of Tech No’, an hour long zap fest, fillled with mashups, crack-ups, originals, classics, drug-fused, face-melting benders ready for any stay at home room ravers or club scene whores.

Bang Gang Presents ‘One Million Volts of Tech No’

History Time!

Bang Gangs life started off in the melting pot that is Sydney, residencing at Moulin Rouge then taking the party down the road to the (in)famous club 77 and officilised the ‘bat cave’ status. Many a hot, sweaty and bleary nights and early mornings were spent in that dank dakr hole.

From there Bang Gang would work together and as individuals with Ajax, Doom, Gus, Damage and Nolan doing seperate projects then finally pulling there scat-tastic powers in form and releasing ‘Light Sound Dance’, which set off international tours and and sent waves through a early crowning electro scene. Bang Gang have always been part of the Australian scene in one form or another showboating and boundary stepping flirtatious behaviour with boys and girls on and off the decks at festivals and clubs.

It seemed like the only thing the guys could do now was provide a way to release artists. So in all Bang Gang fashion, ‘Bang Gang 12 Inches‘ was born, housing a stable full of studs and ponies in the form of Shazam, Bag Raiders, Damn Arms, Lost Valentinos, ZZZ, The Death Set, Soft Tigers, Like Whoa and Muscles.

In more recent times and noteable events Ajax also went fourth and concieved his own label ‘Sweat It Out‘ and toted the young guns of tomorrow with releases from Oh Snap, Gameboys Gamegirls, Edu K, Killa Queenz, Redial, Dcup and mix volumes from Miami Horror and a second with party-monsters Act Yo Age behind the trouble.

Its been said that Gus is thinking along the same direction whilst his little bro U-Go-B is moving around Sydney doing his disco thing.

You can catch the guys tomorrow (Saturday) at We Love Sounds in Sydney feat Bobmo and the gang. I’ll also try fish up some of the monthly installments they dropped years ago and let you relive some of the glory (hole) days!

You know I could throw in a ton of cliches when describing The Vanish like ‘the next big thing’, ‘bigger then big’, ’sounds like…’ but at the end of the day The Vanish really are The Vanish, two guys with a whole lot of talent.

There are no smoke screens or mirror tricks here just original material that doesn’t loose focus of what music is. Brillant structure, fitting lyrics in both content and sound and a flexible image ready for a wide audience.

You really have to give them props for having a dig as Australia is the breeding ground for pedigree indie pop bands like Van She, Cut Copy,  Ted & Francis, Lost Valentinos, Bag Raiders, The Presets, Midnight Juggernauts and many more on the verge of cracking it (boy do we have bragging rights!).

Three tracks, giving you a great perspective of who and what The Vanish are;

The Vanish – Heartbeat <3 Recommended

The Vanish – I Don’t Speak French

The Vanish – Hold On

For Sydney-siders go check them in the next few weeks at Spectrum May 13th and Sosueme at Q Bar 22nd of May. I’m going to do a send out on our facebook group as a reminder and those that are outside of Sydney/Australia there will be a somewhat exclusive track as a bit of incentive to join.

Listening to the triple J hottest 100 yesterday. For those of you who do not know the Triple J hottest 100 is the biggest music poll in the WORLD. And its done in little old Australia. Noticed the most bands blogged a lot all finished in the top 10 except for Kanye muhahahhahahahahha.

Bag Raiders Have remixed the zZz song Lion

ZZZ – Lion (Bag Raiders Remix)
Same kind of spaced out sound they use in shooting stars. This song probably has a bit more kick in it which is why it caught my attention.

On another note. As we celebrate the inauguration of President Obama that has just passed, lets take a look back at George W. Bush’s top 10 moments

Goodbye Sydney

Village Fair 2008. Tame name, but don’t let this fool you. Yes, I was a Village Fair virgin.. and to be honest right about now I feel violated… But in a good way. About two and a half thousand revelers (mainly uni students, keen festival goers from Sydney and locals) gathered together and got on it (it being what ever you want it to be). From collective opinion this festival was the best ever village fair in its over 30 year existence. And from a personal perspective this was one of the best festivals I have been apart of.

To celebrate this event I have attempted to collaborate some sweet pics of the day with some sweet tracks.

Its funny how many broken sunglasses were found. We collected them and am thinking of turning into an artwork

Shuffle mid set

SO if that has not convinced you to make your way to Bathurst NSW Australia, you must be insane or really lazy.

Blue Juice – Vitriol (E.L.F remix)
drum n bassy E.L.F. remix. Compliments already catchy song from the Aussie boys

On another note a stand out act on the band stage was Watussi. For those of you who were at the festival and have been asking “who were those Columbian guys?”. Problem solved. Missed them but only heard good things

ps. the reason for no Aston Shuffle tracks is because we got a post next week for you to look forward too.

Bonus Classic Track – > Daft Punk – Teachers (Laidback Luke remix)
