from the 12” single, BangGang Records, 2009Can you tell I’m ready for warmer weather? I know I’ve said this before, but house music is finally banging again, and I for one couldn’t be happier about it. Yes, after many of us spent the better part of the 1990s frying our brains on MDMA and various other potions, it only follows that the beats were going to have to chill out some, although I didn’t expect it to be for near a decade (excepting for the always tracky micro-house scene). Whether it’s because all of us old schoolers are having mid-life crises, or because there’s a whole new generation of kids expanding their minds through chemicals and dancing, I can’t really say---but it’s undeniable, the BOOOOM is back bitches!!! Australia has, for once, been riding awfully high atop the nu-disco and chill-wave trends, and that new tradition is continued by Perth-based producer & remixer Shazam, a mere teenager but already so adept behind the knobs. Now: set your face to happy, your legs to pop, your ass to percolate, & dance motherfuckers dance!
