A Pony Is just a Unicorn in disguise…

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

And a dolphin is just a gay shark, right? Or at least i’ve heard rumours. So, we included a mention of this track on our most recent podcast [podcast blog link, or direct download], but it’s so wave your hands in the air with closed eyes awesome that we think you deserve the full monty, rather than a version with 60 seconds of our blather on the top of it.

Pony Pony Run Run is another of the Western France scene, a love child, or perhaps godparent of, both Error Love and Anoraak — the latter of which, did we mention? (oh, only once or 15 times)… will be here next month at a Kunk/TCC party.

Boy/Girl Surrender is a synth-y summer-y happy fest that hopefully can blow up around some festivals this season. Someone bottle us some water from Nantes cos we here in Budapest can’t get enough of that smoothness.

Two Completely Unrelated Tracks

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

New Poney Poney remix and MSTRKRFT single.

Neither requires to many words. First one is from Poney Poney (our post about them). New single Cross the Fader produced by Justice guy Xavier is out on an EP with two awesome remixes. One by Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya and one by Headman. I’m gonna post the latter cause I like it more. I think Headman catches the original more (against the fact that BBYYY already did a remix for the Poneys).

Second song is from MSTRKRFT. Even less words are needed to explain. Their EP entitled Bounce is gonna come out on Dim Mak (awesome label) on the 1st of April. There’s a “b-side” on the EP, Vuvuvu, which actually sounds like its title. Reminds me of a SebastiAn thing I heard called Motor. Seems like new electro sounds these days take engeneering metaphors to define themselves. I’m gonna post the radio edit of the new track which took me 3-4 listens to like it but I think it grows on me. I’m not really into the rapping stuff (provided by N.O.R.E.) but whatever, I’m sure it’s gonna be sold out really fast and will be played in every club.

It’s Glitchy Allright

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Some genres and artists exist only on the periphery of Kunk’s usual radar — but from time to time the periphery forces itself right in the line of sight. That’s what has happened in the case of this banging track put out by French dj/graphic artist/producer/doer of all things urban otherwise known as Missill. A few versions of this track have been floating around, namely a remix done by fellow Frenchie, Tepr, as well as one featuring vocals by Berlin ragga-ravers Jahcoozi (which incidentally I played at last week’s Sanomachi party).

At 1:31 I swear I hear what sounds like a particularly wet bong hit taking place. But what do i know — sequencers can do anything these days… Enjoy the track and hold off the pretzels and Snickers!
