Ambivalent (M_nus) "I've played nearly every track on the EP so far. Every one is a crowd pleaser. I'll keep playing these for a long time, for sure."

Hot on the heels of their debut for Frankie Rec (Cpstyre EP), the swedish newcomers Donk Boys aka Thomas Jaldemark and Martin Abrahamsson presents four new hot trax for your favorite label Floppy Funk! “Mongoponny” shoots off this parade of sing along hits with its haunting rhythm and damaged, yet addictive, rubber-like melody, complete with a low pitched YEAH sample, its almost like a soundclash of Claude vonStroke vs m_nus on horse… mental that is. For the sick floors that just can’t get enough! Next up is “Zonky": Almost tripping over itself with the booming sub bass, wet blops and suggestive melodic elements, this one should do the trick if you’re into more minimal sounds. Moody, but still crazy funky! Flip to B-side for trunkfunk with “Elephant": Starting off with a steady shuffled beat and crisp percussion combined with warped vocal snippets, this one does not wait for anyone! Jumping straight into the mix with the pop like lead melody, again extremely addictive, like an elephant needing to score a fix from the dealer pig… Not for the faint hearted! Full on zoo disco action - video game style! The finishing track is “Gump Nymix": Bringing in the old skool elements of Joey Beltram (Game Form-era), Neil Landstrumm (circa Praline Horse) and Sweden’s finest Börft Records, this wonky bit is in its own way the most deranged of the four. Stripped distorted drums (aah the RZ-1 hihat!) plus a really really stupid bassline that just keeps on going and going and going like a circuit bent childrens toy. Add some farty beat boxing to the mix and you are all set to keep you bobbing til’ dawn! Sounds really silly, and you know you want it… So, gather your friends, treat yourselves to a couple of beers and sing along with Donk Boys’ karaoke smashers! Knäck-pscht!
