STACEY PULLEN

• Biography •

 Under the influence of Kraftwerk, Derrick May, Juan Atkins and Jeff “The Wizard” Mills, Chicago and Italian house music and the radio icons of the Electrifyin’ Mojo and WBMX/Chicago, Stacey Pullen was nurtured in the rich, fecund musical soil of Detroit in the mid 80’s. Inspired by the mystical epicenter of the techno earthquake, The Music Institute, Stacey began spinning at local venues and underground parties only to chuck it for a short three years to pursue a collegiate career.

  Drawn back by his destiny, Stacey released his Ritual Beating System under the alter ego known as Bango. The full, resonant tribal percussion of that release opened the musical minds of others who followed with tribal dance tracks of their own. Similar to the innovators that came before him, Pullen’s first release was a big sound influencing others throughout the world.

  As a result of remixing projects and a hoard of releases on KMS Records, Eclipse Records, BMG/Ariola, Buzz, PIAS/Belgium, R&S, Warner, Virgin and, of course, Transmat Records, Stacey has been in demand all over the world mixing magic on the dance floors to countless fans. His exotic style has taken him all over North America, the Dutch Caribbean, Chile, Australia, Japan and throughout Europe.

   The recent critically acclaimed release, Electronic Poetry is a collection of hits under the moniker Kosmic Messenger cementing the fact that Stacey is, true to Detroit’s tradition, another in a long line mature dance music force in the world arena.

   With a brand new, again critically acclaimed label, Black Flag Recordings, and another full length album due out Spring 2001 on Virgin/ Science Records, Stacey has pulled out from the shadows of his Detroit predecessors and entered the limelight.
