It’s that time of the month again… So Kunked podcast #3 is in Das Haus. Just to break up the whole ‘guys locker room’ feel of the proceedings, we invited the Polish babymommy of a local Hungarian rockstar to shoot the shit with us. Was Kasia able to tone down the banal, faggy, and vaguely-sexist chatter that cigi and i usually partake in? Listen and find out! Apologies again on the occasional mic static… one of these days we’ll finally have it all ironed out!

My favorite track of today’s episode takes the form of a production by a Dutch semi-Italo-disco-ite calling himself Alden Tyrell.  It was uncovered (at least to me) by the recent DVAS passion communication mix up and is straightforward but stellar. Literally stellar: you know, a gay space journey to reveal science fiction fantasies that take place only after all the alien autopsies have been conducted… a cosmic homosex adventure which rides the waves of supernovas and… okay… you get the point. But really, it’s nostalgically awesome, which means it’s so so present day right?

Covered in this episode:

• Late of the Pier - Focker
• Cut Copy - Unforgettable Season
• Boys Noize -NeOhPen (Danger Remix)
• Teenagers in Tokyo - Very Vampyr (DCup Remix)

Half of kunk skipped the pond last weekend so a slight delay in getting out #2 for y’all, but don’t worry world, you can exhale as we got off our asses for a second version of hungarian-based frivolity. Hopefully we’ve patched up the vocal levels that some commented on, and, of course, became a little less retarded. In this (bi-)week’s edition:

• The Frail - Addiction (After Midnight Remix)
• The Black Ghosts - Let’s Get Physical
• Sebastian - Dog (Choreo Remix)
• Russ Chimes - Mulsanne
• Jaguar Love - Bats Over the Pacific Ocean
• Van She - Strangers
• Pony Pony Run Run - Boy Birl Surrender (summer edit)
• Norbert Kristof - Anna

Opening topic: Hungarian language

ALSO, last moment organized are always the hottest right? This sunday eve let’s take advantage of the long weekend with a Gumipop meets Kunk meets surprise guest dj at the Vittula. Kommsi Kommsi!

Oh the sweet sounds of one’s own voices. Since hearing semi-bangers is sooo much more satisfying while the inane rantings of people you don’t know in person cover up the tracks, Cigi and I humbly give you episode one of the from now fortnightly podcast of Kunk, otherwise known as So Kunked - Music and More from Budapest, Hungary. We plan on pushing the boundaries of idiocy and lameness every two weeks, so be sure to join in the fun via your headsets or speakers. Soon we’ll get it tweaked out and set up on itunes and all that jazz, but for the moment you’ll have to hit it up via good ole zshare.

What’s in store if you download this monstrosity? The usual laptop chatter of two dudes high on coffee and beer, above all else. But for the sake of organization, and you know we are not anything if not organized (haha), each show will be roughly divided up into three parts: the first which handles the intro, as well as tackles one aspect of Budapest that Cigi and I deem ‘funny, lame, or awesome’; the second which contains our ramblings on our roughly 8 (4+4) mp3 picks of the last 2 weeks; and the final part in which we banter about upcoming events in our big village. Our goal (wha, we have a goal?), for those not residing in Hungary, is to shed a little light on the capital city and give a flavor for what we’re playing at our parties, hopefully enticing some visitors… and for those who already live here, just to see what’s happening in Kunk-land — a spoken word supplement to this blog and our gigs.

We’re not gonna post all the tracks that we shot the shit about here, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t at least lay down one of them, right?

As for the song? I say: Hadouken! = Limp Bizkit for the nu-rave generation. Does Cigi agree? Listen to the podcast and find out!
