Kunk - Don’t Stop Mixtape

Our European readers may or may not have any idea where the city of Milwaukee is. In fact it’s in the US state of Wisconsin, where most of the American half of Kunk’s relatives come from before they all headed West.
So maybe that’s why I’ve got a soft spot for The Glamour. A pair of guys who have been spitting out hot track after track for the better part of a year. And their most recent, Fly By Night, is our humble opinion by far their strongest to date. Can work equally well as a warm up or a semi-banger. Maybe these boys can put Milwaukee on the map just as your Kunkers are working on the same task for Budapest.

On that topic, once again a Kunk party is coming at ya this friday at Vespa. Depravity as always. Check the event page or our myspace for deets.

The Glamour - Fly by Night

Since I’ve first heard the “I wanna…” chanting in ‘Trash’ about a year and half ago I adore The Whip. It was a soundtrack song for the summer of 2006.

They are from Manchester, UK. Their songs are featured on Kitsuné Mainson 3 and 4. They are remixed by and remixing the coolest acts around the UK and France. They have 5 singles out: Frustration, Trash, Divebomb (video), Muzzle No. 1 (video) and Sister Siam (video) They are going on tour next year with Simian Mobile Disco.

Everyone can guess now the kind of music they play. Usually, the whole new dance movement is ‘blamed’ on Daft Punk which is not really the truth. Whatever, they play electronic dance stuff with guitars, laptop, synth, etc. They are like a softer version of Does It Offend You, Yeah?

Here’s a selection
