Borrowing the title from Hot Chip, it is my pleasure to announce that Kunk is not blogging so often because we have a lot of Kunk-related activities. Since it's officially autumn, club season is already underway. Leaving behind the highs and lows of the cruel summer, we now move inside weird buildings, basements, theatres and bars. For this reason, we have a pair of surprises, well not so surprsingly we made mixes to please you. One is longer and it's titled as this post is titled and has many hits of recent Kunk sets as well as blogged remixes and [...]
The mega-fun occasional party series we started a couple years back and throw together with local art/music/fashion/design blogs, better known as 2ManyBloggas, will come to life again this October 1 at Merlin. On the occasion of Budapest's annual design week activities beginning that week, we've labeled this edition as "Well-Designed" and the participant blogs will accordingly make some creations they consider to be... er... well-designed, all of which will be displayed at the venue. In addition to the blogger contributions there will be some bitchin' live and dj sets per usual, along [...]
Kunks not dead! Seriously though, we're alive and kicking and happy. Bloggy not so much. But back in the game again, we shall be. To prove our sincerity we've blended up a summer mix for y'all. Chock full of tunes that are rocking our world these days. Hope you enjoy. Full tracklist after the jump! Kunk-This is Summer mix by kunk (more...)

Kunkers are still in recovery mode after last weekend's shenanigans - however, no rest for the wicked as we've got quite the barnburner coming up this April 30, at Merlin, presented together with our mates, Kollektiva . Joining us in Budapest will be no less than the so-called 'Andy Warhol of dance music' and godfather of all things filthy, dirty, and electro: Larry Tee ! In typical Kunk pre-party fashion we've got some tracks to share and an interview with the man himself. So, get your fill after the jump! [...]
We Kunkers are of course super excited about this weekend's party with the excellent Xinobi , coming all the way from southwest Europe's stunning enclave of Portugal. As is occasionally customary, we've done a lil' interview with the man himself in advance of the festivities. For those who are music blog lovers but also simultaneously living under a rock, Xinobi is one of the founders of the super-rad Discotexas label and has been burning up parties worldwide with his live/dj sets in addition to a long list of juicy recorded material. This Saturday [...]
Music making is in Justin Faust 's blood, so it's no surprise that he's been busting out fresh tunes since he was an lil' apple in his daddy's eye. Speaking of lil', we made a pint-sized interview with the man himself in advance of our long anticipated party, this Saturday in Mappa Club. The flyer basically tells the story. I'm sure you've also gotten wind of the tasty morsel which was just released by the stellar DiscoTexas guys, of Faust's Holdin' On single, with accompanying remixes by Moulinex, and [...]
So in a couple days Kunk's next edition is coming up, where we'll have the brilliant Justin Faust aus München als Gast. Please be sure to RSVP at our Facebook event if you haven't already done so and if you're in Hungary. Of course, who'd be better to support the elegant disco-energy of Mr. Faust than Kunk's favourite and chosen protegé, We Plants Are Happy Plants . WPAHP is our resident support guest for many many reasons. Everyone should probably have noticed by now that we are hardcore suckers for nu-sentimental synth originality and epic [...]

Yeah yeah, we know. Are blogging has been, let's say, less than prolific of late. No excuses in particular other than the usuals. Day jobs, night jobs, hand jobs, etc. However, just cos our post count is down, doesn't mean our mojo is. In fact, quite the opposite! To wit, tomorrow, mega-excited about 12.12 with The Twelves, Kunk'n it down . Those in Budapest know there'll be no other place to be. Support sets by yours trulies, Brandon and Cigi, plus local soaring-electro wunderkid, We Plants Are Happy Plants . It'll be a whale of a time. And [...]
Previous Kunk-guests of the marvellous Valerie crew, Anoraak from France and Russ Chimes from London, return together to Budapest, after their huge tours in the USA and Australia. Bring your dance and bring your romance to Mappa Club this Saturday night because we present the magic and dreams of the pseudo-80s nu-disco synth-revolution. Lovers and misanthropes will both be blown away. RSVP on Facebook! DETAILS What: Kunk presents Anoraak + Russ Chimes (Valerie, FR/UK) When: Saturday, November 21, 2009; [...]
Kunk's epic Season Opening takes place in 2 days. We managed to catch Designer Drugs on their European Riot tour. They will bring the dj set that provides us with one of the coolest season openers ever and it will shake the foundations of a newly renovated and renamed club, Mappa. RSVP the event of Facebook, you're all invited: Kunk and Datascent present Designer Drugs (USA) . Supporting DD with additional sets: Headshotboyz (Ektiv), Datascent and us. Kunk readers must know Designer Drugs well, we've posted quite a lot of their [...]

So we do these periodic blogga parties... the last one was 'pretty epic' so we decided to upscale the venue a bit and team up with fellow budapest-promoters Kollektiva to bring the 3rd edition to y'all. Usual deal: local art/fashion/music/culture blogs, lots of live projected stuff, 'wall twittering' (which will show up here: http://2manybloggas.com ), and a helluva party. We have the feeling if Annie was Hungarian, rather than Norwegian, that she would totally be in attendance. We also have the feeling that if this version of [...]
[Image: The Cobrasnake ] So, I'm heading over to Le Poisson Rouge tomorrow night to check out The Golden Filter , Heartsrevolution , Pink Skull , and Finger on the Pulse . The event is being hosted by Friction NYC and should be a great night for New York City disco. Do you know what you're doing this weekend? ***Week in Review*** This has been a busy week for bloggers, with [...]
Er... you catch my drift. Unless you've been under a wet rock you haven't been able to avoid the awesomeness emanating out of this young man's lappy in the last half-year. His edit of Anoraak's Nightdrive with You vaulted the track into iconic status, while his broad assortment of other remix work has been no less solid, and we've touched on it round here before . Now his originals have been burning it up as well, it wasn't long ago he topped out the hypem charts on the back of the infectious, cowbell-laden, Woah , which [...]
Kap10kurt is coming! And we're stoked about that. Although, they'll be travelling via Iceland so let's hope they don't drown in an expanding pool of hyper-inflated Krone in the Blue Lagoon before coming here. Assuming that doesn't happen, however, you can expect an Opal -fueled keytar and synth orgy in less than two weeks time in our fair city by the Danube and not-yet-collapsed-into-financi al-oblivion-but-give-it-a-few- weeks economy. Of course Moulinex needs no introduction. The Munich-based, Portuguese-born remixer extraordinaire pretty much lovlies up everything he touches. In this case it's the latest to come out of Kap10Kurt [...]
If you've noticed it's been slightly slow here in kunka-land over the past few days, you're not alone! We've noticed too. But we hope the 'ole "working our asses off almost 24/7 in the past week in anticipation for saturday's 2manybloggas2 party" is gonna cut the mustard as far as excuses go. Because, frankly, it's the only excuse we've got. But srsly, Cigi and I are gonna have to mainline some adrenaline this evening to keep the brain circuits zapping. Red Bull ain't got nothing on pharmacy grade adrenaline. Among tonight's music acts will be a [...]
Well, hell, being busy is no excuse, it's about time the Kunkers get the shizz going on 2ManyBloggas2. So here it is! The flyer pretty much says it all, but just to make things all certain, here's a excerpt of the press release blurb for you corporate types: Budapest's virtual conversations once again go real life: Kunk presents 2ManyBloggas2, September 20 at Trafo Bar Tango Part schmooze-fest, part fashion show, part tech convention, and all awesome, Kunk's 2ManyBloggas2 will see the collision of art, music, culture and fashion blogs wrapped into [...]
