Dangerous Dan
Dangerous Dan. Famed originally for his role in Bang Gang parties, then later for his music production credits on all the Bang Gang / Modular compilations, and also for his role as head of Ksubi clothing (what many have called Australia’s #1 fashion label).

He shot to fame with his fellow Bang Gang members as they single handedly sweated a whole new culture into Australian nightlife with their club night with the same name. Since then they’ve broken dance floors across Australia and the world spurring a music revolution. Their compilations, put out yearly by Modular, consistently shock and redefine the music scene. Bang Gang’s 2008 release ‘D is for Disco E is for Dancing,’ is on the tip of everyone’s tongue and widely acclaimed as the best compilation of its genre.

You can also attribute Dangerous Dan for much of Modular’s impeccable chic. He’s head and co-founder of ‘Ksubi.’ The fashion label that hit headlines worldwide with stunts like opening a show with 250 rats running down the runway and throwing models off a three-story cruiser into the middle of the Sydney Harbour.

Magic Happens
Like a fine wine, Magic Happens grew up on a vineyard. From a young age he learned the values of drawing a line in the sand without putting all your eggs in one basket. After initially falling in amongst a rag-tag bunch of misfits with nothing to lose and something to prove, a youthful Magic Happens would soon reach a point of inconsolable disillusion and eventually come to formulate his own system of beliefs and ideals, ultimately arriving at the notion of doing what's best for the party.

Upon this moment of clarity he ruthlessly fled Adelaide for the open pastures of Darlinghurst. It was here that he emerged as a legend and got "pretty anthemic" in the face of adversity. An epicentre of taste, Magic Happens then went on to get real smooth and hit the disco tip, at the time one of few to do so in a landscape dominated by murky swamp-house. Which brings us to the present, a temperate climate in which Magic Happens flourishes heaps all the time.

A former affiliate of the Master Celebrator Crew, Magic Happens broke away from his former muchachadores on the 18th of March, 2008. At this juncture in time he inquired about "being in Wu-Tang for a while" but was denied membership by the RZA on the grounds of never having killed anyone - a harsh but honest judgement. Ever resilient, Magic Happens kept on slamming life and slamming it in realtime.
