Plan B's October cover stars are...
GANG GANG DANCE!
...who lead the KNOW NO BORDERS feature
Gang Gang Dance, Brian Eno, Diplo, Afro Noise, David Toop
In the digital now, culture is a bustling marketplace where knowledge is cheap, sounds are fluid, and notions of purity shift like sand on breeze. Plan B revisits the debate around cross–cultural transaction with Brian Eno and David Toop and meets some of the musicians redrawing maps in their own image: New York's Gang Gang Dance, whose St Dymphna spins scattered global sounds into a dance both ethereal and ecstatic, global bass–hound Diplo, and Whitehouse's William Bennett, with his Afro Noise project.
