Vielen Dank an das 3001, Düsseldorf und alle die dort waren.
We’re back again, this time joining forces with one of our favorite producers of the past year, Riva Starr for a fantastically energetic track. “Juice and Gin” is a blend of electro-acid and fidget with monstrous ragga vocals from Yolanda. This is a pretty good quality mp3, but a full quality version, a dub and an alternate mix will be available on Beatport in a couple of weeks.

It’s about a year ago now that I went to a very very rainy New York city to work with one of the most individual and talented rappers around, MC Paul Barman, to collaborate on a track for the second Young Punx album. At the time the recording session was not particularly an easy one – in retrospect I feel that I was accidentally doing more to put Paul off than to put him at his ease, which was an error on my part. I largely put this down to the challenges of getting rushed into an alien environment, not having time to really get to know everyone involved and how they like to work, then having the pressure of having to create, in the morning, at cost to me, against a ticking clock! It doesn’t make for a relaxed creative environment.
That said Paul is master of words and through a combination of prepared notes scribbled on napkins, and inventive freestyles he gave me plenty of gems to take home with me.
At the time I was really faced with the problem that great though his vocals were I wasn’t really sure how to place them within the album in a way that made them feel like they belonged in the same body of work. However, a year later as the album is nearing completion I feel that the problem is really solving itself. Read more

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.”

A new mash-up for you. I thought these would sit nicely together the moment I first heard “Ghosts N Stuff” ringing through from Phonat’s room next door! I had to re-record the strings and brass for Lola’s Theme myself with live players to clarify the harmony enough to make it gel, but hey, I do these kinds of things for you and you don’t get that kind of dedication from anyone else!
