Our pal Gus from Bang Gang is drawing on the wall in honor of the new Bang Gang compilation LP. The crew has been dropping a series of mini mixes to promote it, including this one from Bag Raiders. Kingdom + Kid Sis in there!
The looooooong awaited Bag Raiders “Big Fun” EP on Fool’s Gold - featuring some fresh remixes of their signature tunes + brand new surprises - is out in a matter of days, stay tuned…
Grab the two latest remixes from our friend Mr Fingers: the Death Set’s “Negative Thinking” (out now on Bang Gang 12 Inches) and Big Gipp’s “Hot” (out now on Scion Audio/Visual). Right-click, save-as, rock out. More to come from the TS lab very soon, keep checking for the latest news and tourdates over on his MySpace. And if you haven’t copped the full “Cross The Dancefloor” single yet…
Time for one of my long-winded tour novelas. I recently wrapped up a European tour that spanned the whole month of May, one which I arbitrarily named the Upper Crust Tour at the last minute, in honor of that beloved chain of sandwich shops found in almost all train stations. After doing a whole bunch of tours with other people — the Fool’s Gold fam, Mehdi, Kanye, etc — I felt like going off to clubland (Europe) and back to raw DJing practically every night for 4 weeks. Of course I wasn’t literally by myself the whole month. In most cities I was sharing bills with friends from either continent. But it did feel like a pilgrimage to the land of the DJ, and on off-days I would often link up with other producers and work on music. I loved it. I started a Flickr page towards the beginning of my trip so you can catch my full set of pics here. Let’s dive into it. (more…)
