"After his debut album Hot Robot on Gomma last year and remixes for the likes of Delphic, GLOVES, Adam Freeland, Rodion and Lost Valentinos, Golden Bug crosses many an ocean to release his fresh 5 track cut-disco release on Australian label, BangGang 12"s. 'Assassin' is a slow temp new school electro track with a dark hypnotic bassline, acid keyboards and pitched vocals. 'Ghost Day' is a chugging spaced out cosmic disco track featuring Yoshimi Yamano Aka AMWE from Japan on guest vocals. 'Last Dance in Tokyo' is a Tribal discoid summer jam with tonnes of vocoder, '80s keyboard stylings and a killer of a (watch ya bassbins) bassline. 'Lord of Pleasure' is a building dancefloor weapon with tripped out and more guitarefor all the '70s disco funk fans. And then on remix duties Gloves takes 'Last Dance', keeping slabs of the original and reworks in into a ozzie hands in the air summer piano disco house affair."

"Toecutter has been sitting on this one since 1984 when he recorded the hook onto a cassette and then spent 25 years deliberating on its merits. It has been remixed by such dance music notables as Shazam, Jono Ma, Captain Ahab, Electromeca and DJ Rainbow Ejaculation. Basically it's been the 'Cops Are Coming' anthem of Sydney's square party underground for ever but the Bang Gang 12"s boys have now brought it into THE LIGHT! So enjoy the Rough Trade, acid come-down, Roule-inspired, world domination, 8 bit gabber, grind-house festival of noise provided by these outstanding artists."

"From the deep, dark cold depths of Melbourne down and out disco suburbia comes the long-long-please-send-me-the-masters-already-long-long awaited debut release from serial hitmaker, synth wiz, coffee addict and all round dudebabe, Gloves. Fresh, from the titanic sinking of his former musical yacht, Damn Arms, and off the back of remixes for the likes of Cut Copy, Vanshe, Sneaky Sound System,The Deathset, the Scare and Ted & Francis, Gloves sails bright into the dance horizon with his first 2 track original release on BangGang12s. The lead track, 'PYX' is a cut up party Prince-esque monster full of electric guitar solos, live bass guitar slaps, silky smoothpianos, Jarre-esque laser harp and movie vocal chops. 'Are we having fun yet?' First appearing in demo mode on BangGang's D Is for Disco, E is For Dancing mix CD, 'PYX' has been newly check-out-the-engine-on-this-hotted-up for the release. Then 'Too Much To Dream' is a dreamy slow dance disco house joint showcasing why Gloves is as popular with the ladies as is with the bloggers. And then for the remixes -- Golden Bug, our favourite French-Barcelona-Gommazonian turns 'PYX' into an epic summer disco affair, Cut Copy's bass playing wizard Ben Browning converts it into a guitar heavy early night foot tapper and Strip Steve offers up two retakes -- the 'Paradise Dub,' reworking it into an extra length late night disco number and the 'remix' adding Strip Steve's signature erratic boy-noize-rekids cut up '90s house touch."

"Hey Today!, the Hamburgian duo of Raik Fargo and Dy! emerge from long months spent twiddling knobs, eating icecream on Mars and listening to themselves twiddle deeeeep inside their tekhno bunker to offer up their latest and greatest 3 track (plus Kicktro), Wonderman E.P, on BangGang12s. Following on from their debut release on Kitsune last year, remixes for Digitalism (Kitsune), Shazam (Bang Gang) and Zombie Nation (Turbo) and time spent appreciating the wonders of German sausage, Wonderman combines the duos epic production talents with robotic vocoding, synth solos and female (not diva) vocals to produce a very German-non-German-sounding-superhero-house stormer. 'Wish I Was a Wonderman' is a slow chugging euphoric noisy-but-not-too-noisy jammer that works just as well for foot tapping, head nodding, chin stroking and body moving alike. As big on the breakdowns as it is on the synth stabs, this one will tear holes in the dancefloors from Beirut to Berlin. Wonderman reworks the title track into a faster and even noisier affair that is straight up peaktime hands in the air 'have you got any more Es woah here comes the breakdown I'm peakin'" fun. And Parisienne Instituber Bobmo takes the original and jams it through his trademark '90s cut-ghetto-dancemaniac hit machine to produce a rave-but-not-nu-rave missle to finish off this release."

"After the release of Damn Arms' two part not-quite-smash-hit-but-should-have-been-Destination release early this year, BangGang 12s has roped in a bunch of their favourite artists for remix duties to to set the good ship Destination a sail once more. And wow did we get a lot of remixes. Woah. One million and counting. DerDieDas, the two men with the most German sounding name in dance music produced the least sounding German remix possible, turning out an super feel good melodious synth heavy retake, Jaunt rework it into a French house slash dark trance affair (is that a new genre?), BangGang (that's us!) don't stray to far from original, injecting a tad more acidy balls into it and Munk lend their signature Gomma-fied blissed out summer disco vibes to it. Then Cassian (latest stupidly young musical man on BG12s) makes that shit FUNK-Y (yes I did just use the word funky), Mitzi (winner of Spank Records/BangGang12s Destination remix compeition) offer up a slow chugging percussive kinda disco version, Ted & Francis keep things all '80s soundtrack and Riggarutz turns it into a piece of beautiful electronica, so nice you feel like crying. Told you there are LOTS of remixes on this one. Phew."

"Bag Raiders return from their middle American bowling alley DJ tour to release the Turbo Love Remixes on BangGang12s. Ditching the B-side, this package turbos up, straps on some nitrodepth chargers and shoots the tune off into the noisy dancefloor hit-o-sphere. Shinichi Osawa: Wow. His remix can only be described as power-dance. He takes the original, whacks even more turbo-ness on it and re-sings the vocal himself to make an abrasive almost-but not-quite- trance, hands-in-the-air blisterer. The perfect soundtrack to your late night steroid and powerade party. Kim took a short break from his role as Presets party machini to reverse a monster truck and a half full of donks onto the original that hots-it-up into a turbospeed booty monster. Flight Facilities enlist the help of cruise ship crooner and all round excellent dude Louis Austen along with a double bass, a flute and horns section to transform 'Turbo Love' into a oh-so-smooth-how-you-ladies-doing-out-there business class lounge serenader. This one would gets hearts fluttering at Club Meds and bingo halls worldwide. Then Light Year injects some cut up Italo party vibes into it, Whitenoise adds a ton of noise and Spruce Lee invokes the spirit of sweaty Chicago sauna hustlers in his retake of the track to finish this monster 6 re-take release off."

"The Valentinos, or as I should say now, The Lost Valentinos? Or the band 'formerly known as' The Valentinos before their legendary name change? Anyway. Poor little conquistadors just want to make music, not stress over clause 23 in the trademark agreement over who has the rights to a name. Fuck those people, if they only knew about music, if they had a soul, they would pay these kids to share their name! Man, there is some whackheads out there without a vision. But thank god we do. And thank god the Lost Valentinos do. Together, we are like the Aussie version of Obama. 'We don't need to change the players, we need to change the game.' Amazing. Anyway. These kids have a vision and a good vision it is. Last time Kim 'party machine' Moyes of Presets and 6 million ARIA fame produced their album. This time with the addition of the human metronome, Simon Parker (formerly of Damn Arms) they sacrificed their cushy Sydney digs and suntans and koala bongs and to moved to a shithole some thought was a good place called East London or 'shoreditch' to the people that read Dazed and Confused. Now that's a sacrifice. You might think oh god! Poor kids! How could they do that? But the trade was well worth it. Ewan Pearson traded his shoreditch-based production talent for their Conquistadisco souls and it was a good trade. Worked for the Rapture and Goldfrapp and it has definitely worked for the Lost Valentinos. We signed the first single, The Bismarck, and it is sweet. It's kinda Aussie with a touch of INXS vocal style, kinda dark but not too dark, a bit dance, a touch sad, a bit heavy and with a whole lot of groove. It has building, gnarly synth lines balanced with soft melodies, gothic, choir -ike vocals, a driving bass line, and more sonic layers than the band has moustaches. Woah! The remix package is big. Real big. First up, is the Goldenbug mix -- proper nuevo dancefloor cool from the Parisian slash Barcelonan cut-up disco doctor on Berlin punk-funk label, Gomma. Next, the local Sydney via Perth nu- heroes The Canyons have come through with a slow, drugged-out version that you could imagine Bez losing his nut to. Knife Machine take things even darker and more wonky with their mix and the Japanese duo the Dexpistols have come up with a remix so noisy, you wish you had brought some of those earmuffs ravers wear.'
