Review

Roar! The Donks follow up the Karaoke destroyer EP “Sing Along With” on Floppy Funk with another jackin 4-tracker. This time presented to you as a nutricious meal. Hehu! “Poing poing” is a deep bowl of rolling aquatic minimal house. Seasoned with sharp-as-knives percussion, klonks, owl-like bleeps and the obvious cut-up biz, this is full-on for the mini (M-nus) heads. Poing! Next up is the main course, “Hoppetoss". A spicy tech dish that grooves totally in its own league. Bim-ba-bam, a-a-ah, oh, that stupid noodling hook recalling “Geht’s noch". Still hungry? Flip for “Acid Boys Horses Girls” as the boys take on a beefy slab of acid house. Slow, dirty and gritty, with just enough phat to make it succulent! Nice. Watch yourself for the freaky parts (features the demented vocals of Martin Donk). “Bladen Bus” is the busy little dessert that finishes off the EP. A cute, but brutal (whole grain), Chicago house onslaught. Loosen your belt and throw those funny fists in the air! Till next time - eat your greens and party on boys, girls, and horses… :)

FLOPPY016 in the media

Dj Misk (AltroVerso): “excellent tracks from these two rocking guys. my favourite track is: "bladen bus", but i will play often also the title-track and poing poing. playlist.”

Debug (GER): “Die Donk Boys sind auf ihren letzten beiden EPs, die hier mitgezählt, fast schon zahm geworden. Dafür sind ihre nuancierten Chicagotracks aber um so deeper. Bevor hier wer denkt, halt mal, keine Kicks mehr... weit gefehlt. Das blitzt, rockt, und holt einen genau dann ab, wenn das Scheppern ein Ende haben muss. Feinstes Voguen auf den LFOs und dem klirrenden Sound der Nachdenklichkeit eines einsamen Spielautomaten mit Blitzlichtern hinter den Augenlidern. bleed••••”

fabrice lig(versatile, f-com): “ love the hoppetoss track ! really funky/funny once again ! will have a good effect on the dancefloor. nice bassline ! bladen bus is great too. ”

Geoffroy Mugwump (Hiphen/mood/: “acid boyz is very funny...best trk for mein strasse here.”

Groove Mag (GER): “Gleich zwei neue Releases der Donk Boys, die sich damit gleich doppelt den Wahnsinn auf die Fahnen schreiben. Mit sichtlichem Enthusiasmus werden die eigenen Verrücktheiten kultiviert, bis es aus allen Ecken nur noch fiept und bleept, Stimmschnipsel auf einen herunterregnen und die verquirlten Drumpatterns Arabesken ins weich gekochte Gehirn schrauben. Das, was mal Chicago House war, muss hier erst in alle Einzelteile zerfallen, um anschließend zu einem wackeligen Zitattürmchen gestapelt zu werden, das in seiner Hysterie permanent vornüber zu kippen droht. Albern ist das bestimmt, dafür aber auch Balsam auf die Seelen verspielterer Gemüter wie mich. Dekonstruktiver Minimalismus sollte einfach immer so Spaß machen wie auf diesen beiden Platten, die voller Funk und Soul die Grenzen des gesunden Verstands permanent zu überschreiten gewillt sind. TEM”
