Time now for PJU music, y'know! While recording in Stockholm they tracked down the legend Chalk Jaxon, very rarely seen in daylight. After hours of chasing & following up leads that led to nowhere a glimmer of Jaxons' white shoe set the sparks flying at the disco, could it be?!? He was whisked off to the studio and 60 minutes later they had a vocal. The track was given the title Dance To Our Disco, it caught the interest from Kitsune Maison,
Paris/Tokyo. Remixes by Headman, Nightmoves & Baseball Furies. New chapter starts RIGHT ABOUT NOW...

Punks Jump Up

Le duo londonien Punks Jump Up va nous tenir chaud tout l?hiver avec leur nouveau single bouillonnant BLOCKHEAD - Sortie le 31 janvier 2011 chez Kitsune!

Tout commence en 2002 : Joe Attard est anglais, David Andersson est suedois. Avec leur look decale et excentrique, ils se retrouvent a Londres pour produire une musique a leur image : rythmes ponctues par une ligne de basse originale, synthes repetitifs, entre turbine & hymne club, cultivant un effet de danse hypnotique. A chaque fois que Punks Jump Up se produit dans les clubs, la foule commence a faire des mouvements de danse saccades, spasmodiques avec la musique, comme s?ils etaient possedes !

Presente dans sa version radio edit sur la compilation Kitsune Maison 10, ? Blockhead ? sort le 31 janvier 2011 avec 5 remixes exclusifs de Zombie Nation, Hey Today !, Stopmakingme, In Flagranti et Symbol One.

? Blockhead ? est un veritable cocktail survitamine, indispensable pour bien commencer cette nouvelle annee !
