"Well it's here, finally here. The first release of our forever talked about, met about and emailed about record label, Bang Gang 12 Inches. The first song has been nearly as long in coming as the actual label, which came first, the chicken or the egg? Who knows? Daft Punk came first with 'Around the World,' tho. Nicky Van She (from the band Van She) and Dangerous Dan (from the Bang Gang!) have come in close second with a synth and guitar-heavy mod version. (Modern) 'Around the World Again' this is a proper death metal rave version of what is possibly the best song ever written." One-sided 12".

Catalog #:	BANG 003EP

"Number three from ex-raving posse the Bang Gang DJ's record label called Bang Gang 12 Inches. His music is cool, its explosive vocals, out of time four part harmonies over the top of soft trance synths and OTT lo-fi house tunes, and every now and then there is a dose of solid techno. The best bit about Muscles is Muscles, he's like this good looking but dorky childlike dweeb that looks like a man. He is naive but magical, a pulsating explosion sent from the future showered in peace and love and mirrors and streamers. He is the underdog that already won the race to the lasers. He is the fist pumping idiot savant. Watching him is like sliding down a water slide surrounded by baby animals. He is outrageous and wearing the oversize party hat."

Artist:	BAG RAIDERS
Title:	Bag Raiders Remixed

Format:	12"

Catalog #:	BANG 007EP

"Last time I wrote about the Bag Raiders 'Fun Punch,' I went on some rant about me being in Ibiza, on the floor in the main room at Pacha, listening to Erick 'More' Morillo play filtered French house. I had my hands the air, the lasers were in full effect, the Italian girls were looking fine and my ecstasy was working overtime. I declared that it would have been the best song of the nite, a song so great that you would have bathed in Erick's sweat and wouldn't feel at all weird about it at all. Now after caning this every set all over the world in the last 6 months I take it back. Erick Morillo dropping that would have made the 12,684 ecstasies that were digested in the last hour be vomited up all over the island. People would be vomiting in waves of joy and these would have been rolling around like lost little pingers with no eyes and just insides made from MDMA. And then. The remixes arrive! And here come the pingers! Like little lost kittens with butter on their paws they find their way home. And all the empty stomach raved out beautiful people at Pacha decide to 'double dump' their old lost pingers that they previously vomited up and the party continues! Like a fairy tale for clubber's 'lord of the pings' 'the dark crystal meth' or 'the never ending breakdown' etc. The 12,684 lost no-eyed pingers now eaten (lets call them LLNEP) (long lost now eaten pingers) now get distributed amongst the remixes. The first 1,999 get swallowed by people getting lost on the way to the bathroom listening to ZZZ's super Chopin/Mozart/Bach/Grey/Beethoven/Liszt etc on meth style 3-minute breakdown remix. Word. The next 2,589 were had (shelved) on the dancefloor, lights off 2:33 am grooving to nightlife's dark late nite 2:33 am style Melbourne disco groove shuffle. Then 4,406 were eaten by young Justice fans headbanging to white noizes French style daka daka daka DAAA woop woop!!! Sweating like Carl Cox in their Ed Banger t-shirts and trying to hold their jeans up cause they just sold there limited edition oversized Justice logo belt to buy a water at 20 euros a pop. And the last 3,690 were delicately split in halves to make them easier to swallow by a mixture of French/Canadian/Dutch/German/Russian/Swiss/Italian/New Zealand/English/Scottish/Australian/Californian/Hungarian/Polish/Spanish and some gay dudes dancing on the balcony's to the Bag Raiders even more synthed-out skipped-out drawn out mix of their own super Ibiza Pacha Erick 'More' Morillo hit... ready for it you know how it goes (play the hero part now) FUN punch! and that is THE END."

Artist:	DEATH SET, THE
Title:	Remix
Label:	BANG GANG 12 INCHES (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	BANG 009EP

Extended 8 track EP from the Australian label that consistently attempts to drink Ed Banger under the table. "A collab between Death Set and four remixers. So instead of calling it a remix, we're just gonna call it a collab. For the Bang Gang the remix is dead, redundant, tired and old. Move out old school, get ready for the new COLLAB. 'Have you heard the new Soulwax collab of Justice?' 'How about the Aeroplane collab of Mgmt?' 'No no no wait!' 'Hey bro, how sick is the Soulwax collab of Mgmt, it's pumpin', fully pumpin!' That's what we are going to be hearing from all our budding Aussie DJs. Next, you're going to hear it in Ghent, closely followed by Paris and eventually it will end up in the States when we have a new word for collab, which probably is going to be remix. Who knows. Who cares? We do. We care about you. We care about music. We care about The Deathset. And we care that in this EP there is close to 7000 sounds per song (Impressive when each song goes for 1 and a half minutes). Anyway, the originals are sick, they make me think back to when I was a 13-year-old skate rat with my new Natas deck, my old vision street wears (with the lace cover) listening to my ghetto blaster getting psyched to Suicidal Tendencies before I go for my first judo air of the day off my 3 ft. jump ramp sitting in the driveway. The collabs are straight up four-to-the-floor super-modern chunky tech -- something for the grown up skate rat now a DJ. Have a listen, you will be pleasantly surprised. This is one of my favorite bg12"s releases so far. And I love all of them! This is what Doom said. 'Deathset are originally from the Gold Coast, lived in Sydney for a while, then moved to Brooklyn and now live in Baltimore. They used to be a two-piece but lost a member and picked up two new members, so are the three-piece. They play really fun fast sets and jump around a lot and sometimes break shit and occasionally bleed. Jonny the singer has a real high-pitchrf voice too and used to sleep under a bench in the worst house I had ever seen. They are super dope. Some remixer information - Treasure Fingers is American and does stuff on Fools Gold, Bumblebeez, lives in rural Australia, likes going roo shooting and is on Modular. Bonde de Role, you know about them. Gloves is from Melbourne and is in Damn Arms and is doing a 12" with bg12"s later in the year."
