STREAMING AUDIO INTERVIEW
The Bang Gang DJ posse has quite a lot to answer for. They’ve – almost single-handedly – influenced an entire generation of club kids with their music tastes, fashion sense and attitude towards partying. Hell, their famously debaucherous weekly party even spawned its very own dance move. Don’t believe us? Just type ‘bang gang dance’ into youtube… seriously, do it.
Of course, the most interesting aspect of the whole Bang Gang phenomenon is that the boys themselves are so goddamn nonchalant about it all. Speaking with Gus Da Hoodrat about their brand new CD for Modular, titled ‘Light Sound Dance’, it quickly becomes obvious that nothing they’ve done has been premeditated or calculated, making their whirlwind success all the more convincing.
Listen in as ITM’s Tim Hardaker speaks with Gus about their process for making the new CD, how they’ve come to adjust to life in the spotlight, and what they think of that dance.
‘Light Sound Dance’, mixed by the Bang Gang DJs, is out now through Modular/Universal. The boys continue their tour around Australia to launch the CD throughout July and August:
July 18 – Cassette, Perth
July 20 – Bustin, Wollongong
July 21 – Vamp, Jindabyne
July 22 – Sounds On Sunday
July 26 – UNSW, Sydney
July 27 – Third Class, Melbourne
July 28 – The Roxy, Parramatta
July 29 – The CBD Hotel, Newcastle
August 3 – Arq, Sydney
August 4 – One Love, Melbourne
August 5 – Berlin, Gold Coast
