Punks Jump Up To Beat Down Lykee Li

'Punks Jump Up' to get beat down is one of the best lines from 90's Islam Hoppers Brand Nubian. I fell in love with their classic east coast productions which challenged me to think more and not just absorb. Allah U Akbar. Since the release of 'Dance To Our Disco' on Kitsune Punks Jump Up have shared the stage with Sebastian, Klaxons, Peaches, Soulwax, Busy P, Sinden, Hot Chip, Rapture, Digitalism, MSTRKRFT, Erol Alkan, Kavinsky. Quite a cast of production characters to be sure. Currently PJU is in studio mode whilst still touring with a forthcoming single to be released on Oct 8th. Lykee Li is everywhere - you know all the bios - you are aware by now that shes another alumus from the Swedish pop scene, so I want even bother.

I have some other interesting music today from Bobby and Klein. Bobby and Klein are French duo GIOM and VINZ, from Niort, France. Originally a drummer and a bass player influenced by Funk, Disco and Hip-Hop, they started DJing and making beats together in 2001. At first inspired by the French Touch sound of the late 90s, it was discovering the likes of Derrick Carter and Dj Sneak that really got them hooked on House music. We have a couple of choice cuts from the 'Jackzilla' EP that was released earlier this year on Guesthouse Music. 'I Want Sax' is a groovy house stepper with big analogue finger pluck basslines slammed together with moogy sounding organ top key sections. 'Jackzilla' is a gigantic horn laden monster with all the positive house party feel any self respectin plate spinner could want. Garagey basslines here work to perfection with the classic house vibe.
