Then:
Two Babies separated at birth by a freak hurricane have been re-united 26 years on, scientist have not been able to explain the phenomenon but have claimed it could possibly be due to the kryptonite belt running underneath the bee hives in the Mogadishan Valley. Luckily, Billionaire & Asteroid Property Tycoon, Lex Luther, had it removed and reconstructed as a Green Sun Roof on his pimped out sedan so no further reports of babies being separated have come to light. Some think he's using it as some kind of Designer Green House Window to cash in on the global warming phenomenon. The neighboring Zutonites have expressed their views and the controversy continues… (FOR THE FULL STORY & MORE INFO VISIT: WWW.2PHUNKEDUP.COM

2 Phunked Up - 2 South African imports hailing from the infamous city of Johannesburg. These two lads came overseas looking for their own piece of the musical pie and are steadily cutting a portion for themselves, (One of them eating more than the other it looks like) and they are being talked about as "one of the hottest young house duo's in the capital"...
The past few years have been a manic arrangement of twisted, mashed up, phatt beat filled weekends and late week nights spent promoting themselves, their projects and their own nights Comfortably Numbed and Elek2ronik which have both played host to DJs such as D.Ramirez, Deepgroove, Alex Kenji, Jaimie Fanatic, Azzido Da Bass, Jan Driver, Lee Mortimer and others at venues such as Inigo, the Whitehouse, Medicine Bar, the Key and the Golden Jubilee Boat. Gigging all over London they have touched wax in the company of many local and international Big Name DJs and Artists including Erick Morillo, Tim Sheridan, Paul van Dyk, D'Julz, Mike Monday, Sebastien Leger, Stanton Warriors, SOS, Herve, the Catz and King Roc to name a few. Playing regularly in some of the most renowned venues such as The End, Turnmills, The Egg, Ministry Of Sound, Brixton Academy, KOKO (Former Camden Palace), The Key and so on, proving that they can hold their own in the competitive "Everyone and their Auntie is a DJ" era... There is no denying that Baltazar and Greg have stepped into the world's network of respected DJs and rightfully so...
The last year has seen them launch their own Label Comfortably Numbed Digital on the back of their Comfortably Numbed Brand with partner Jon Fynn to build their own platform for worldwide artists and as producers in their own right. "Comfortably Blissed" for the deeper and downtempo side of house music and "Comfortably Twisted" for the dark and twisted side… They were winners of the M-Audio/Hat Club Ableton Live Mix Competition and also the iDJ Raw Talent comp in April 2007 where they impressed Nic Fanciulli, who commented: "This is Wicked! It's Very much the Sound of now!". The next year will see them focusing on their own productions and label, and if they put as much fun, passion and energy into their musical productions as they do in their DJ sets, we can only expect great things...
It would be wrong to pigeonhole this duo into something you have seen or maybe heard! Not because you can't classify them but purely because it is their unique and electric vibe that sets them apart. Playing their self branded sets of "Blissed 'n Twisted" House in all its guises makes them appeal to people of all dance floors. "It's all about sounds that make you move, irrespective of genre's of sub genre's of sub genre'd crap, and entertaining showmanship that makes people feel a part of the whole experience". Playing everything from deep, grooving warm big room beats through to throbbing, 3am, twisted peak time belters, their ability to adjust & suit what is required to make things happen on any floor has helped them gain respect & trust with promoters across the board. They play and make music you can party to, music you can dance to, & music you can definitely rock to.
