Chris Bangs has been a pioneering and inspirational figure in the
British underground dance scene and helped to light up the
burgeoning black music dance scene of the early
eighties. Towards the end of the 80s, Chris really hit pay
dirt as a musical trend-setter with the invention of Acid Jazz
genre and 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 talents were soon spotted outside of the acid jazz
scene with Paul Weller utilising Chris' production skills on one
of the stand out tracks from his debut solo album - Above The
Clouds. The song is a favourite of so many fans, and Paul still
features it on current tours.This liaison led to a partnership
with Paul's former Style Council-er Mick Talbot as Yada Yada AKA
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.Have a listen to our
