Kunk’s epic Season Opening takes place in 2 days. We managed to catch Designer Drugs on their European Riot tour. They will bring the dj set that provides us with one of the coolest season openers ever and it will shake the foundations of a newly renovated and renamed club, Mappa. RSVP the event of Facebook, you’re all invited: Kunk and Datascent present Designer Drugs (USA). Supporting DD with additional sets: Headshotboyz (Ektiv), Datascent and us.

Kunk readers must know Designer Drugs well, we’ve posted quite a lot of their remixes (previous coverage). What are Designer Drugs? For one, they are white hot. Playing in every hip club around the globe, remixing everyone from Maria Carey to Little Boots, Annie and Fischerspooner and putting out superbly produced tracks… Not surprising that the tastemaker blog and label, IHeartComix signed them. Combining elegant synth and pop sensitivity with the cruel and grand bass shocks, they are definetly emperors of dancefloors and the virtual space of the blogosphere can be proud that it helped the emergance of an act like this. It’s really a wonder that they will play in Hungary. If you’re around, you don’t want to miss it. Details and taster-tracks below.

Yep, this is why we’ve been absent from blogging.

HEARTSREVOLUTION is a girl+boy band from LA, now in New York. Their label is IHeartComix. They announced a remix contest for their upcoming remix single: C.Y.O.A (Choose Your Own Adventure) which will be out 11th March. Here’s the video. The 12” will feature a lot of remixes by big names (Brodinski, CFCF, etc). In addition Flosstradamus and LA Riots made remixes for their tracks as well. IHeartComix (obviously), Missingtoof and Discobelle are showing them a lot of hype and love. Plus they are in Nylon magazine’s Dec/Jan 2008 issue.

The couple met while working in a hotel. They started to make music together because the girl is in ice cream truck business (still in service) and she wanted music to play through the truck’s sound system. This is the fucking element of surprise to get discovered. This shows that they make the newest sounding electro stuff but they have the experimenting d.i.y. punk attitude without which electronica is just bpm.

Apparently there’s nothing new I can say about them. The upper stuff is written to be proof that you have to hear this band because they are going to be huge really fast.

The first song is a remix of CYOA. It’s by Lauren Flax who’s a DJ of IHeartComix. She also remixed Morningwood and Le Tigre. The original CYOA has some elements from electroclash, noise and riot grrrl vocals. The remix is kinda calmed by the synths (those sound like Matrix movie…freaky) and reminds me of the CFCF remix of Triceratops by HEALTH.

The other is Prism Effect. The original has Cory Kennedy, the internet celebrity highschool girl for a guest appearance. The remix is by Acid Girls who are like fucking cool bloggers/djs/producers from LA. It was on the bands self-released split single with Crystal Castles.
