Vielen Dank an das 3001, Düsseldorf und alle die dort waren.
The Young Punx have taken part in the legendary Buffet Libre “Rewind” project, in which 100 artists do cover versions of tracks from the 70s, 80s and 90s for a free online digital download compilation. The Young Punx chose to cover the Belle Stars version of “The Clapping Song” from 1982, which is itself a cover of Shirley Ellis’ 60s original. Featuring vocals from Laura Kidd and virtuoso guitar from Guthrie Govan the track starts out as a fairly faithful cover version, until Phonat takes the helm half way through and it turns into a kind of electro drum and bass freak out version! Hal Ritson of The Young Punx comments,
“What attracted us was the combination of the innocence of the playground rhyme pop style with the sulky thatcher-era vocal delivery. Also it seemed fun to do a cover version of a song that was ALREADY a cover version of a 60′s song. A cover of a cover.”

Contrary to popular belief when the above phrase is used, it hasn’t actually gone horribly wrong and we haven’t been invaded by the coke badgers either. It’s good news. No, it’s great news… Tracking us down through the power of good-taste (and great PR), Pete Tong will be playing the Shir Kahn remix of ‘Mash It Up’ on his Fast Trax show this week (Friday 5th).
The phenomenally good remix from Shir is exclusive to the launch of the mobile version of the ‘Pete Tong’s Fast Trax’ show, which roughly translates as meaning dedicated viewers can now get all the good stuff (innit) straight onto their mobile.
Go to www.fasttrax.tv and download either the Full Show or Hot Trax for your mobile.
