An integral part of the Berlin underground scene, Kaos has been producing his twisted dance hybrids since the early 90s when he was knocking out downtempo 12s as Terranova.

His next album will be released on the DFA/Rong imprint - with the first single released off that album described as “a disco rock hybrid reminiscent of a Danielle Baldeli Cosmic [with] an ‘I Feel love style disco acid bass line”.

Meanwhile he continues to be in demand as a remix artist, remixing acts like !!!, Roxy Music and New Young Pony Club…

Axl wants to find his long-lost father and rediscover his past. Vera just wants to forget her’s and move on from recent heartbreak. Their stories interweave as they take up residence in a vibrant, sprawling squat in the melting-pot of London’s hip East End.
Learning his father is a Realtor, Axl pretends to be a student looking for an apartment. But the more he discovers about his father’s new life, the more difficult it is for Axl to admit who he really is. Meanwhile, Vera embarks on a tentative romance with a charismatic stranger. To protect herself from further heartbreak, she insists on total anonymity – but becomes the victim of her own strategy when she finds herself falling in love.

Roxanne Parlour is hosting the official afterparty for the screening of this acclaimed movie by Alexis Dos Santos.

Following months of courting, waking up in the middle of the night in cold sweats, and idle chit chat, Modular is very proud to announce that Sydney duo Bag Raiders are now a part of the Modular premiere league.

Bag Raiders new single, Shooting Stars is the first release in Modular’s new collaboration with The Bang Gang Deejays in-house label, Bang Gang 12 Inches, and will be out August 14.

Jack Glass and Chris Stracey have signed their lives away in return for a novelty cheque and a sack of peanuts and now begin their climb up the ladder of enlightenment through electronics. Shooting Stars will be their first release on their newfound home, with an album to follow in early 2010.

Shooting Stars is the kind of blissful dancefloor epiphany usually associated with the French, an ecstatic track that teases and builds to the kind of hands in the air love-in that’s been the certified secret weapon of discerning DJ’s for some months, and it’s now time for the rest of us to join the throng.

The single comes correct with remixes by Kris Menace, Siriusmo, In Flagranti and Shazam, and a video directed by New York upstart Ron Winter.

Bag Raiders came to light through their Bag Raiders EP, released on Bang Gang 12 Inches in 2007. Last year saw them release the Turbo Love 12” on Bang Gang before now coming aboard the good ship Modular, where they’ll now sail into the sunset and beyond to prospective world dancefloor domination.

To support this new signing and the launch of Bag Raider’s first single on Modular, Bag Raiders are embarking on a national Shooting Stars tour. The Tour is presented by Modular Records and Bang Gang 12 Inches, the Melbourne party also featuring AJAX.
