Modular People

Text by DJ Mykal a.k.a. 林哲儀

之前提過九月底時忙裡偷閒跑了一趟東京, 意外在販售Mastermind Japan、位於南青山的時尚名所Loveless發現了不少Modular廠牌的相關單品, 讓我喜出望外。(請參閱"大量ELECTRO DISCO/NU-RAVE相關單品入手(二)"一文)

事實上, Modular Records在今日大行其道的Electro-Disco/Indie-Disco/Nu-Rave風潮中, 無疑佔有一定份量的領導地位, 因為這個由Steve Pavlovic所開設、以雪梨為基地的澳洲獨立廠牌, 目前旗下所擁有的音樂單位如Bang Gang Deejays、Midnight Juggernauts、Cut Copy、The Bumblebeez、Van She、The Presets…等, 加上身為Chromeo、Klaxons、New Young Pony Club、MSTRKRFT…等的澳洲代理, 都顯示出Modular Records在這個圈子裡的重要性, 更不要忘了Ben Lee、The Avalanches、Wolfmother…等高評價名字也隸屬該廠牌旗下，更見其音樂包容性。Modular廠牌官網裡內容也相當豐富, 請務必Check!

而其中由AJAX、Gus Da Hoodrat、Jamie Doom、DJ Damage與Dangerous Dan共同組成The Bang Gang Deejays絶對不容小覷, 先前他們已發行過兩集Leave Them All Behind, 最新的雙CD DJ-Mix專輯Light Sound Dance更可說是近期Electro-Disco/Indie-Disco/Nu-Rave風潮的重量級作品, 多達65首作品可說完整地將這一兩年該體系的發展, 透過緊湊無冷場的DJ-Mixing手法做了一個精采回顧.
