Needle Sharing is back! Following a creative pause, where Roland Danielzig made his project go on hiatus to pursue other creative interests, Needle Sharing returns to center stage in 2011. Marking the 20th anniversary of the project, German underground heavy weight HANDS releases Needle Sharing's third full length album „GANG BANGS!“. Along the relaunch of the project, Needle Sharing has seen the addition of long time friend and partner in other projects, Sascha Turtur as a full and permanent member. Bringing his own creative energy and intricate production knowledge to the mixing desk, the sum of Roland and Sascha's energy adds up to more than just their parts combined. „GANG BANGS!“ is a true monster of an album, taking you on a tour de force covering the entire twenty years of creative influences and inspiration. Needle Sharing's trademark Rave Energy is boosted by current production technology, incorporating influences by artists such as Noisia, Spor, Chase and Status, End.User and Bong-Ra. The album kicks off with “All Links Are Dead”, an uptempo stepper with a sampled raga vocal deep in the mix and a seductive melody. Equally irresistible is the Dubstep-infused “MEDIZIN”, revealing a new facet of Needle Sharing. A potential crossover hit is the almost-rave “Knocked Out”, featuring vocals by none other than Industrial veteran (and now Breakcore wizard) Patrick Stevens aka Hypnoskull! Tracks like “Corporate Whore” or “Fukushima Disco” bear more aggression and a kind of digital darkness that is a rather new feature for Needle Sharing. Such prepared, one plunges into the rest of the album with the tracks increasingly oscillating between catchy and abrasive – but somehow the mixture seems strangely, perfectly right. In the process of delivering a top notch production value listening experience, Needle Sharing proves that Breakcore can be and, in this instance is, most definitely dance floor compatible, including heavy basslines and the mighty wobble... Stroke your chins to this, nerds!
