Dangerous Dan announces new production and headline show

Marquee Sydney are excited to be a part of the second coming of Bang Gang member Dangerous Dan this Friday.

The close acquaintance of the late (and legendary) Ajax is a creative entrepreneur/producer co establishing the internationally recognised fashion label Ksubi and solely collaborating on his new clothing project DAAN. Fashion aside, Dangerous Dan (the producer) is back! With a record in the works being made alongside old time compadre Nicky Van She and a headline launch at Marquee Sydney’s new night Mashup Fridays, we caught up via email to ask a few questions on his journey thus far!

You were a member of Bang Gang, founder of Ksubi and more! What would view as the most exciting time of your life? And why?

Wow! Hard first question to ask! Everything that has happened in the past and everything that is happening now has all been about how to make the future more exciting.

It’s not until an interview like this or a look back at the Ksubi book that I get to cherish those times, or similar, until our Bang Gang reunion party that I had never really got the full effect of what we had done at that time. Reminiscing now it was a moment of ‘wow’ life changing times, but during it we were all looking forward to what was next, we still are. I guess there is a lesson in that. Enjoy the moment.

Is music as important to you now as it was when Bang Gang was in full swing? Has your taste changed?

Music has and always will be the most important part of my life excluding my boy, my babe, my family and my friends. It has inspired me to do all my fashion and everything else I have done. My taste is always changing and always coming back to my favourites. The best thing about music is that at any time, any moment, there will be something that suits.

Where are you at with your Career? How has the start of DAAN clothing been?

It’s so exciting right now! Brand new label, brand new start, designing clothes solo for the first time ever and I’m loving it. My career now is about doing less but doing it better, I’m really excited about collaborating with some great people, especially my lil bro BENI.

What’s your favourite track at this minute?

My favourites always stay my favourites and I can’t pick just one. So, in no particular order:

Daft Punk – Around the world,
Shuggie Otis – Strawberry letter 23
MJ – Off the wall
Supertramp – Goodbye Stranger
Womack and Womack – Teardrops
Primal Scream – Come Together
Wham – Club Tropicana
Futureheads mix of Kate Bush – Hounds of Love
Gonzales – Working Together
Phoenix – If I Ever Feel Better
Smashing Pumpkins – 1979
Loletta Holloway – Runaway
Boyz Noize -Yeah
Felix da Housecat – Silver Screen Shower Scene
Chaka Khan – Fate
All of Beni’s stuff.
To end it, the one jam I am fully supporting right at this moment is, SUNLIGHT by Nicky Night Time and Sneaky.

What’s your favourite video on YouTube right now?

I try not to get too deep into watching You Tube videos, they can be a time trap. But my all time favourite is the Motown anniversary when MJ does his first moonwalk on stage. Still gives me goose bumps.
