Full-length CD coming soon . . .

About Me


OK people, you've reached my music page! NO, I'm not here to pimp. I'm here to promote my music, so check out the tunes and let me know what you think.This is NOT the myspace page for the "Bang! Music Fesitval".. I just thought the pic was cool. =)
I'm busy at work trying to finish enough songs to fill a full-length CD so in the coming months, I'll send out an announcement when the CD will be available for sale. I am shopping for a label so if you are one or know of one, please let me know.
In the meantime, if you are a DJ or other promoter and would like a promotional copy of my music, please contact me and I'd be happy to send you a promo CD.
UPDATE!! Three of my songs are now available for online purchase! You can now buy "Fade Away," "Confusion," and "24 Hour" by visiting my website at www.stephenbang.com

Sounds Like: Truth be known, I'm a big fan of 80's synthpop. Although one of my songs on here is obviously synth-pop, most of my stuff is either trance/breakbeat or downtempo. Unfortunately, the only songs anybody really likes are my synthpop songs. Maybe that also means my trance/breakbeat & downtempo sucks. :( At any rate, stop reading this and just listen to my songs.
