Bio
Donk Boys are two mentally okay guys from Malmö, Sweden, who make mentally sometimes not so okay music. The boys, both with a bunch of solo EPs out on their own (as Bauri/Deltidseskapism and Thomas Jaldemark), joined forces in their shared flat to produce their special donk sound. Bored by (some of) todays generic techno sounds, they try to distinguish themselves by incorporating humour, freaky sounds and twisted arrangements to their tracks.
The Donk Boys will definately be something to look out for in the future. Their debut wax was released summer 07 on Frankie Records and more releases has followed on labels like Frankie, Floppy Funk, SiteHolder UnCut & Plak.
Previous Donk gigs include:
CPH Distortion @ Örestad (Copenhagen/DK),
tWaDlLe @ MyHouse (Leeds/UK),
CheekyChoice @ The Hive (Zurich/CH),
Oh Baby I Like It Raw @ C/O Bar (Malmö/SE),
Delete @ Dusk Till Dawn (Bournemouth/UK),

Kill Your Telly @ Culture Box (Copenhagen/DK),
Silenced @ Silo (Leuven/BE),

The Rumble @ Inkonst (Malmö/SE),
Donk Club (Malmö/SE)
OUT NOW - JAMBALAYA!! (14/04/08)
Yeah! Our debut EP for mighty Cologne label Trapez is out April 14th. Three tracks, all packed with heavy dancefloor destruction. "Soffliggare" on the a-side is the peak time monster, a jerky chicago number. "Swipper" on B1 shows more of a melodic side than you are used to, and Foolfox on B2 is a nice techy DJ tool track. Enjoy!
