I LOVE MODULAR

Following on from last years expansive & mind warping compilation Light Sound Dance, The Bang Gang Deejays return with a new double disc mix cd - 'D Is For Disco, E Is For Dancing'.

Included in the mix is the specially commissioned remix of Kicking and Screaming - the opening track on Apocalypso, The Presets new album. With more bang for ya buck, the Bang Gang's E Is For Edit remix of the track introduces a new level of dimensioneering and trance travel to your ears. This all Australian affair gives new life to the already amazing track, that will keep even the most resilient feet on the floor...

Almost a Mullet but not Quite mixtape by Darling Farah


A new mixtape for this week featuring Darling Farah on his second delivery for Almost a Mullet but not Quite. check it , love it!



“This mix Is really a showcase of all the styles of music I am really diving into. Styles of music that are influencing some of my music, like Detroit house, Acid, French touch, maximal, etc. I kind of wanted to steer away from too many tracks that people have probably heard enough of in the blogosphere as well as a lot of distortion. Because personally I think it’s starting to loose its touch aside from a handful of singles. The Wasted Youth intermission was inspired by a guitar solo a friend of mine put together for his band. I wanted to use that for the intermission but he didn’t want me to. Fair enough. So instead you guys get a sense of what I’m not listening to when I take a break from Benga’s 26 basslines. Plus I think it’s an interesting and unique addition to the mix.

The intro is styled after some Miami Bass intro (which is an edit of my latest track “Hair down”) mixed with some classic filter funk vocals that I think we can all appreciate. Only reason I used this sample was because I had the tune in my head for about a week. From there I break in with screeching rave synths from Das Glow an Institubes nerd. Cover some Wiley, a kind of minimal fidget hybrid by Mowgli, then some straight up bubblin’ bassline cooked up by none other than Party Shank. Enough to have any Crookers fan going nuts. All of a sudden were back in the 90’s. Forget nu-rave. Its all about piano stabs and energy. Aside from the banging Mr.Miyagi remix of Fancey Footwork (which might I add is one of those distortion disco tracks that hasn’t lost its touch) you’re going to have a good 5 songs that capture that oldschool feel. Yes Nightcrawlers is here. But with a bit of a twist. After that, Baltimore from France served up by Surkin and Bobmo who combine to form “High Powered Boys”! A force to be reckoned with. Indo Silver Club my all time favourite Daft Punk song is there sounding fresh as ever. Then we take it down slightly with Nacho Lover’s famous The Big Kazoo edit. Followed is the intermission. I’ll let you decide on that one. From here I think I just decided to recap on everything that went on before the intro. For those that weren’t paying attention it involved fidget, filter house, acid, electro,the odd tune here and there, and finally the last song before the intro. Which is what I think is going to keep me in that summer mode all the time. I guess being in the UAE I’m going to feel like that anyway with all the heat, but um…

About that last track, Hair Down. Its my take on rave, Detroit House, Chicago house, and I guess some kind of tech. It should be up for grabs on this space. Download it, pass it around, play it out (its in 320 for all you bitrate nerds).”

Darling Farah Biography
Darling Farah, 16, started his music making affair not too long ago.
 Growing up on Hip-Hop
