Released on Eighth Dimension Records: www.eighthdimension.com It may not quite be another dimension, but Cape Town, South Africa seems pretty far away to most of us. You might be thinking of safaris and zebras, but not often noted is South Africa's strong and growing deep house scene. It's no surprise that steady, danceable rhythms would be enthusiastically embraced in the African continent. Many exciting labels, DJs, and club nights have sprung up, forming a burgeoning movement. An exciting part of this scene is Bang Bang, a self-described "live electronic outfit." Four members make up Bang Bang: Reuben John on vocals; Matt Prehn on decks, keys, and effects; Matthew Loots on the guitars; and Sterra Lucas on percussion. Their forte is writing and performing deep, disco house as well as forays into their own newly created genre "saloon funktronica". Says Prehn, "We did just make that up, but we're fans of a stripped but incessant groove and a dancefloor that sways naughtily more than it jacks."
