Just got some tasty morsels from Brazil’s Database, who’ll be touring the US soon and have a single to be released on Southern Fried records momentarily (A French Winter). The original is a foamy number evoking a little bit of Braxe, with Yelle-esque pop charms residing just beneath the surface. No surprises at the track’s title [...]

When Kunk threw that little exclusive (haha) hair metal party back a few months ago even we weren’t aware how ahead we are of our (backwards spinning) time. The Galvatrons are a band from Australia. We’ve covered their remix success with the debut single When We Were Kids (post1 and post2). Now, they released their [...]

Justin Faust is making some of the smoothest synthy-disco around these days… and he just tickled our inbox with some recent edits. Leeds-based Edwin Van Cleef’s I Want You is a strong original no doubt — so strong that i think Faust’s choice to moisten and lengthen it a bit serves it up as a [...]

I think I wrote quite a lot about Bloc Party. Interesting band. I really hated their 1st album. If we’d had a blog then I would’ve totally written a hate post about it and all the indie kinds could’ve started throwing rocks. Nevermind, Intimacy was awesome and they follow it up with this single, One [...]

Great UK-indie four-piece, The Cribs are back with a new single entitled We Were Aborted that preceedes the album coming out in September. After the first couple dancey indie hits, their sophomore record was brilliant in 2007. They are pretty cool live as well, I saw them the same year at Pukkelpop festival. Full of [...]

As you probably know, Linus Loves is getting back in the game with the Prom Night single. Although Don Diablo isn’t necessarily a Kunk super fave, he does a pretty splendid funk-down of the more-than-awesome original. It’ll be released on Breastfed’s sister label, 21:12, with some other edits by Punks Jump Up, Franki Chan, Steel [...]

It doesn’t hurt that i’ve been quietly desperate to enter a Rod Stewart tag into the cloud, but as remixes of covers go, the Disco Pusher edit of Au Revoir Simone’s cover of Rod Stewart’s classic Young Turks, is pretty smooth. Don’t know a lot about the pair out of new york, but by the [...]

Just landing in our inbox (or rather, at 5am… damn those Aussies and their zany time zones) was a niiiice edit of Miami Horror’s Don’t Be On With Her by Treasure Fingers. It’ll be a part of the Bravado remixed album accompany other edits by Fred Falke, Cassian, Death Metal Disco Scene, and Cyndi Seui.Treasure Fingers takes it right [...]

First heard about the Northern Irish act called Gunstar when I downloaded The Dream Machine (from Fried My Little Brain) which was blogged at a lot of places around the sphere. It’s not a surprise, the guy making the music supposed to be only 20 and he brings the vibe of many nu-electro artists like [...]

Actually, I’m following BBYYY through Bigstereo it seems. They were off the radar for some time and didn’t create much blog hype since Fuck Friend but they are back now with a new single and video. The new single is really heavy in the bass and beat areas and the vocals are kinda sick…like The [...]

Well, shit, what ya gonna do? After the crotch grab moment of silence, all that’s left is to dance like a motherfucker and enjoy the time we have while we have it. Sidechains gave us a shout with this remix not long ago and it’s really happy and gay. Should serve the purpose.And finally, when [...]

Woah. Even if he’s been super creepy for years… i don’t know if anything could mark the end of an era like michael going down. Not even sure if it’s true, though it looks fairly certain right now. I’m pretty sure Thriller on LP was literally the only album i listened to for over 2 [...]

Truly one of the nicest guys the party/music biz, Kap10Kurt (shown below at his Kunk gig here last October) has recently dropped an edit of Teenage Suicide by the fast-out-of-the-block Aussies, Clubfeet. The smooth original would be pretty tough to muck up — only question is which direction to take it — Kap hangs on [...]

So let’s follow up Cigi’s hate post with a like post. Really like the new-ish direction the latest Burns inbox-hitter takes. A bit less on the mental tip as with some previous tracks, a bit more on the warm cozy house-y footstomper, with some 80s (what else) flair. Actually i think it would blend pretty seamlessly with [...]

Here I go with another bitching post. I know these oppinions won’t appeal to many people out there but I kindly ask them not to read it and get upset, just download the songs they are fond of. Many of the records of 2009 are brilliant, there are some good ones, mediocres and there are [...]

It’s long overdue for us to give some shouts over to the Binary crew’s efforts of late. Especially since they’re doing the party thang with former Kunk guest Thieves Like Us, this weekend. Exciting! They’ve also just released the Nightwaves Dreamwave Hour 2 (go pick it up here at Massive Stereo) with a whole bunch [...]

You might not know Norbert Kristof. He is Hungary’s #1 indie singer-songwriter. Ok, I know the this description doesn’t amount to high praise. He has tried to perform under different monikers with different bands but the most enduring is the solo stuff he does under his own name. This might be an indication of something. [...]

Fair enough, the original act might require a code orange kitsch alert, or at least i haven’t had time to digest the package that is AvianX (Russian now based in the US), but this mix of Dark Circles by the French Kolt 13 which landed in our inbox is kinda bad-ass. At least, it reminds [...]

Tesla Boy as many of you know is making love-y synth-y magic from the wild wild east better known as the USSR Russia. They’ve played with the Valerie crew previously, and will once again at their party at Cargo in London this weekend. Goes without saying Kunkers wish they were on hand for that one. [...]

Pony Pony Run Run! Last time we announced their new video for the brilliant summer hit single, Hey You. Now, their album entitled You Need Pony Pony Run Run is out in digital, hits the stores on the 15th. The album is really great, full of pop-sensitivity, dancey synths, catchy choruses… Is this gonna be [...]
