Can somebody help me? I mean, I like the Cazals and all since Poor Innocent Boys first came out but they are not too different from other punkish indie bands from London. Nevertheless we’ve already heard 4 singles from the upcoming LP. They are getting a lot of attention from the coolest remixers and NME apparently. And their guitarist, Luca, is making nice electro mixtapes. Rockstars can be into electro, that’s right. What of Our Future is coming out on 26th of May. Buy it when it does or pre-order it now.

Gonna share with you the song titled Comfortable Silence which is nice slow, atmospheric stuff with jingles. You also have the Kunk-guest awesome Blamma! Blamma! duo’s remix of Somebody, Somewhere which is, according to the Blammas “boot blower” and it certainly is. Drags and pushes like a windstorm.

I won’t post any more Cazals for a very very long time.

Cazals - Comfortable Silence

Cazals - Somebody, Somewhere (Blamma! Blamma! Somebody Stop Me mix)

The new single from Cazals gets heavy attention. Kitsuné did a really nice job getting artists to work on this one. On the single there’ll be remixes from many Kunk favourites: from Blamma! Blamma! and LIFELIKE till Moulinex. What an awesome release! Go and buy it.

I’m gonna post the Moulinex remix because we’ve been posting about the others recently.

Moulinex is Louis, an awesome dj guy originally from Portugal but he lives in Munich, Germany now. He grew up on great music not like idiot oldschool house or techno. He was listening to Pink Floyd, Moroder, Kraftwerk, Sun Ra. Of course he’s influenced by French stuff like Daft Punk as well. However, he is way ahead of anything Boys Noize ever made. He remixed kap10kurt, SymbolOne, Cut Copy, Xinobi and Cryptonites, lot of the bands that Kunk are fond of. Seems like they are gonna tour Austrialia with Xinobi. I suppose they are gonna have a big fanbase there. He must be huge this year.

If you wanna get into it start with the Cut Copy thing, continue with Xinobi remix, listen to the Cazals one and then move to his own songs, first Break Chops and then everything else.

Kunk’s guests Blamma! Blamma! released their first material on Dovecote Records. Featuring 3 songs including the club hit Carry Me Home. Only 500 copies, so hurry up and buy it! Here. Seems the guys did some serious work on making the tracks bang the dancefloor and the weird sounds/effects are still there, no compromises. Second song on the EP is below, killer synths and buzzy, strange rhythm electro. Grab it. Thanks Blammas for hitting us up.

Edit: First song on the EP is up, “Only Friend”, grab that baby as well

ps. the guys are looking for vocalists/mcs to work with, so if you can offer something heavy hit them up on their myspace above!

From time to time it’s good to take stock of your surroundings methinks. The Ektiv boys [post in Hungarian language] recently woke me up to the fact that I hadn’t checked in lately on Matt Modny in Vienna. His superfun MyBitchKlubb has been rocking for a couple years now, and it seems just this year he has a new venture starting up by the name of Numu (Kunk gives full approval of the logo font selection, btw ;)).  I’m liking the direction both MBK and Numu are going in terms of both guests acts and atmosphere, so keep it up Matt! Incidentally for an amusing set of pics from a mybitchklub party from last year checkout the page on my rarely-updated personal blog here. Kunk buddy Damian from Prague’s Heartbeats party was djing that night, which is why we made the trip up the Danube to be there.

Speaking of Heartbeats, it’s also gotten some traction in the past few months which is great to see. The bleep bleep revolution is in full swing Czech-side! Pete Carvell will be the upcoming guest dj there and they’ve had some killer recent acts as well, like Hostage and Tyskerhar.

To sum, I’m really happy to be rocking it here in the Central Europe these days. What we lack in a sea front, we make up with foresight, you see?  There is only one place for the future to be, and that is ahead of us. (On that tip, check back real soon on our event list as the Kunkers have a treat in store as well.)  In the meantime, we leave you with some future taste via a remix of the Cazals upcoming release, Somebody Somewhere, lovingly edited by Kunk faves Lifelike. Recent Kunk guests Blamma! Blamma! also have a remix on the release, as do homeboy from Munich, Luis, aka Moulinex.

Whew! My linky fingers are all tired out.

Cazals - Somebody Somewhere (Lifelike Remix) [yousendit]

Blamma! Blamma! are an electronic duo from London. They are extremely talented remixers and seems their own sounds are great as well. Much more exciting than lot of the djs/whatevers from France or Germany. Fresh noise in an electronic scene that will witness a small fall of a small empire soon.

Blammas had a hit song that was never out on a record properly. Now in April they are gonna make up for that and have their first EP released. Meanwhile they have killer remixes of great tracks. They are not traditional, actually, they kinda destroy songs but it is exciting and will make a huge impact on the dancefloor. Oh, sorry, I didn’t mention it? We invited them to play a set here.

Here’s a lot of stuff from them. You might wanna start with the Rival Joustas remix cause then you’ll listen to everything else by them.

Kunk - Don’t Stop Mixtape

Everyone’s favourites, The Teenagers, have a new single and video out. Two remixes accompany it. One made by Blamma! Blamma! hip electro act from London, the other by Connan and the Mockasins. The first is too long and can easily get boring so though I’ve never heard of the latter but I’d prefer theirs cause it’s still cute and funny. Not just the vocals but the whole sound is so monotonous and ironic that it must be loved. It’s like a retarded boy singing. So stupid yet I can’t do anything but relate to it and be jealous of Josh Hartnett. It drags me along. Being in love makes you retarded.

ps. FUCK YOU, Josh!
