DJ & PRODUCER CHRIS BANGS - BIOGRAPHY

Rare Groove ... acid jazz ... hippy house... Talking Loud ... the Balearic beat - all influential sounds, scenes and styles that went off with a BANGS ! No doubt about it, Chris Bangs has been a pioneering and inspirational figure in the British underground dance scene of the 80s and 90s and helped to light up the burgeoning black music dance scene of the early eighties. Bangs' name became associated with many celebrated events - from The Special Branch, Cock Happy and Doos At The Zoo to his own Bournemouth Bank Holiday sessions, the Caister, Prestatyn and Rockley Sands Weekenders and even the original Corfu and Ibiza 'summers of love'.

Towards the end of the 80s, Chris really hit pay dirt as a musical trend -setter with the invention of acid jazz as a producer and artist responsible for many early recordings on Eddie Piller's Acid Jazz label and Gilles Peterson's Talkin' Loud (producing Galliano's celebrated debut album) His success internationally enabled Chris to set up his own studio and production company, Thin Air. His talents were soon spotted outside of the acid jazz scene with Paul Weller utilising Chris's production skills. This liaison led to a partnership with Weller's former Style Council-er Mick Talbot as SoundscapeUK - one of a whole range of projects marked by the Bangs stamp that have secured commercial and critical acclaim from the USA, Japan, Europe and Australia.

Today, Chris can be found in his studio surrounded by his records and a host of musical collaborators so don't be surprised if he's too busy to talk. Instead, try asking the aforementioned Piller, Weller, or Peterson as well as the likes of Paul Oakenfold, Pete Tong, Nicky Holloway, Danny Rampling and many more for a genuine endorsement of one of our true pioneers.

PAUL WELLER - ABOVE THE CLOUDS

After Producing Galliano's Debut Album " In Search of the 13th note " , Chris Bangs was asked by Paul Weller to co - produce his new tune ' Above The Clouds ' ( Weller was good friends with Gilles Peterson of Talikng Loud and had come down to the Galliano / Roy Ayers session). Starting from a drumbeat,a notebook and a guitar, Above the Clouds quickly began to grow on the multi-track tape . Weller played the grand piano at his Solid Bond studio ( A very atmospheric granite walled haven in the deepest recesses of Marble Arch ) and laid down the main keys track from a cheap Casio keyboard Paul had knocking around for writing ideas to tape. It was only a guide part but truly became the body of the song and never did get replayed.

The guitar parts came from a fat jumbo acoustic, don't quote me but i think it was a Guild guitar and the guitar parts from a superb cherry red Gibson E 335, with the higher licks overdubbed on a maroon Fender Strat and set up thru a vintage Fender Champ amplifier. Paul has an unbelievable guitar collection permanantly set up and tuned and ready to play straight off. When Weller gets an idea he likes to get it down on tape right away !!

Fuelled by trips to Paul's legendary Gaggia coffee machine, Weller and Bangs worked late into the night recording the vocals with a quick fag between takes to assist the legendary Weller gravel while singing.

The track was mixed down later at residential studio Comforts Place.  A few overdubs were added, the  mks 50 synth riff before the third verse and a "vibey' slightly alcoholic live hand claps track from Weller, Bangs, Brendan Lynch and Steve White who was there to add his percussion track before the mixdown.

Released as a single " Above the Clouds" was a cool summer tune and featured on the " Paul Weller " album)
