Anoraak: Most promising french export since Alizee?

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

We Kunkers certainly think so. But seriously, before you chastise us for YET ANOTHER post on our faves from that country to the North of Spain and to the SouthEast of the UK, we plead forgiveness as in just two nights (Thursday), homeboy is here spinning at Corvinteto with ourselves and TCC party mates. In case somehow you have yet to get the flavor of the sound that has had us unnervingly hooked since last year, below is a fairly comprehensive wrap-up of Anoraak remixes and originals.

Pick them up below but first have a perusal of the snazzy flyer… the venue will have the Euro 2008 match on the big screen on the roof, so you can get your sport and party on in one convenient locale!

And, by the way, don’t let anyone knock Alizee we dig that gal…

Apropos of everything: Anoraak + Grum

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Pretty much everything Grum puts out these days makes its way immediately to these pages, and the fact that his latest touches upon our faves from the French West coast — Anoraak — guarantees a continuing of the trend. Add to this fact that Anoraak will be partying with yours trulies here in a couple weeks… passing up this track is no longer an option even if you’ve already seen it around blawg-land in the past few days. Nightdrive with You has been re-edited by quite a few peeps but I think this particular take gives it exactly what it needs for the summer — and, hell, the original *already* is the perfect sound for the summer. Enjoy the track and love it live in a couple of weeks!

Le Weekend That Was

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Happy to report that despite the so-called riots which occurred on Saturday near our venue, the gig with the Blammas and Trash City Club was delicious. Antropos has some photos up over here, and a kind Frenchman by the name of Clément hit us up with an awesome b&w retrospective of the gig. You can download the set here, and his website is here: www.loeilregarde.com. Merci mister come and say hi next time!

A preview:

As you know we here at Kunk are mildly obsessed with the guy who should be running Boys Noize records because he knows so much about the topic. That is, Jacko. Remix Sunday over at Palms Out recently disseminated a super deliciously hot remix of the boy toucher’s classic by Marquis. Straight outta Washington, DC baby. Hear it and love it.

2nd Mixtape: Backst…Nsync’s Back!

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Wonder what the fuck our faces doing attached to weird 90s dressed bodys on a strange stage that might be used for ’striptease in a circus’ purposes?
You’ll have the answer below.

Kunk made a mixtape for you, darlings. It’s their second…umm…ever. It’s a nice blend of fun and…fun and…well, fun. So fuck professionalism, it’s amateur - in the sense of the universal idea of being human. Nevertheless, it has everything an ear can wish for and it’s only around 30 mins.

Featuring the soon to be dancefloor anthem Body Crash from Buy Now (first played in Hungary by Brandon at Kollektiva’s NYE party); the new Cut Copy single which lives up to the expectations after Hearts on Fire; and the already posted Designer Drugs mix of the beautiful Hail Social song which we can’t stop listening to on repeat.

Hope you enjoy. We want your comments.

Shizzat, Wot Wot! 2ManyBloggas

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Hot damn what a lovely Saturday! Local art-culture-music-fashion blogs put on a serious show, all wrapped up in Kunk deliciousness. It was so lovely in fact, that a 2ManyBloggas2 will be popping up again some time this calendar year, for shizz. For your perusal, piktchurs!

Chex out some more over at the MyKunk photo page.

Also, Ourstyle blog has hooked it up with a couple of picture posts: Here, and Here. Thanks ladies!

Back to our regularly scheduled Mp3 posts shortly!

It’s a Blogga Party, Y’all

Monday, February 4th, 2008

Hiya. So, there’s this party upcoming. It’s about… blogs. OMG, blogs! Yeah, those things. It’s taking place in approximately 2 weeks time at Trafo. You should be there. And if you’re one of the participating blogs, you better be there. ;) But really, there’ll be a special program where all participants can give a mini-showcase of what their blog lusts after. Beforehand and afterward, ourselves, kollektiva, gumipop, and death disco, will be bringin’ the house down with our LOL dj skillz.

Starring: Ektiv, Mash Kulture, Gumipop, Pep Magazine, USE fashion, Bet On Panda,
BP Fashion, BP Style, KultPlay, Mindennapi, and Our Style. Photos by: Tamas Leko

I should add, if you have an awesome blog (which i’m sure you do) and it for some reason didn’t make it into this here party. We can assure you it wasn’t for lack of intent. We love you all! Only the whole timing and logistical thing that kept us from inviting every motherfucker in this town with a keyboard. But, seeing this kind of interest, Blogga party 2.0 might not be a bad idea.

sanog…sanot…samo…sanomachi

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

For our Hungarian readers, just to make sure you know about this. We are going to be residents more or less each week at Trafo alongside Miss Lucifer (Death Disco), KittenKillers & Mario Bros (Gumipop).

This will be a party to fill the hiatus of thursday nights of your lives. It has some kind of Japanese/anime theme but…well…Japan is cool.
