We Plants are Happy Plants , a.k.a. Budapest-based DJ Peter Bergmann, just released an awesome remix of Daft Punk's "Human After All". Keeping in line with the repetitive and monotonous nature of the original, WPAHP loops the synth-heavy "human..human..human..after all" until you just about cannot take it anymore, then the pressure releases and the warmth of the bass covers you. That sounds vaguely sexual. Regardless, check out "Human", as well as their remix of "Viva La Vida", which I posted a while back . While we're at it, why don't you just grab yourself a copy of Bergmann's other [...]
A few months ago I raved about two remixes I stumbled upon done by We Plants Are Happy Plants. Turns out his name is Peter Bergmann, he doesn't have a proper website {although he needs one}, he likes his myspace profile quite, well, eccentric, and he has an impressive group of musicians who've influenced his work. Among others he lists Radiohead, Daft Punk, Justice, Sebastian Tellier, DatA, Hot Chip, and James Murphy. With such lofty goals it might be easy to write him off as just another myspace wannabe, but that isn't the case with Peter's music. His [...]

Continuing the tradition which was established with the Stuck in the Sound gig, the autumn issue-party of PEP! (it's a blog too as you know and so they were part of the crazy 2Manybloggas2) will witness the show of the French electro-rock-breakbeat group I Am Un Chien . The name originates from two sources. For one, the Pixies song Debaser , for two, the movie of Bunuel and Dali. The sound of the band is a fashionable and nowdays popular mix of electro and rock. The broken beats are definitive on the [...]
We Plants Are Happy Plants doesn't just have super fun name, he also makes super fun music! I first stumbled upon him through some hype digging and was totally hooked by his "Superheros" remix (which quickly ended up in my deejay playlist, but never quite made it onto Res). As I do, I friended him on his social networking site of choice to keep tabs (as I do with tons of artists). Well the the other day I get an update saying he's got a new original track out called "Trance Steel". And you know what? [...]

Trance Steel is the latest Peng Peng from Hungarians We Plants Are Happy Plants , that is coming quite cozy and cheesy and words like that. I feel like hanging in my mustache with a scruffy mustang in my face and whistle at old horses on the racetrack - my favourite leisure activity. Budapest go further further , I'd place a bet on you! Mp3: We Plants Are Happy Plants - Trance Steel
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 [...]
There are few things I love more than opening up my email to find that our friends over in Budapest, Hungary have sent another grinding electro track, and today is one of those days. The newest track by We Plants are Happy Plants , " Trance Steel ", takes the four-on-the-floor beat out of the spotlight, slapping you in the face with hard grinding buzz-saw synth. Trance steel feels like sunrise, when the tired have staggered home, and only the die-hard are left as the synth swirls around the heavy-dancing, wide pupil lovers of all things electronic. As an [...]
We Plants Are Happy Plants Genre: Electro / Disco House / Club From: Budapest, Hungary In an increasingly fragmented music scene which seems to splinter into new esoteric genres on an hourly basis (christian hip hop anyone?) Hungarian electro disco house should come as no surprise. Daring young electro alchemist We [...]
Well I definitely learned quite a bit from last weeks comments on this post. Here's a sampling of the knowledge laid out: Selbu mittens, named for the Selbu village in Norway, can be traced back to a single knitter: Marit Emstad (born Guldseth in 1841). - Tim Heaney a president is most likely to be assassinated between 6 and 9 a friday night in october. - bernto if youre allergic to dust its not actually the dust youre allergic to.

At long last Friday is here...but another troubling sign looms in the distance...THE END OF SUMMER. Noooooooooooooo....well I guess it was inevitable. So nows the time to suck down that last glass of summer ade, get the sand out of your shorts, and bask in the glow of the sun's warming...glow. Enjoy it while it lasts is what I'm sayin'.

Too often the Kunk boys are looking outside their own borders for shizz we wanna blog about - mostly stuff we play at our parties. And by 'too often', i mean, 'all the time'. And by 'outside their own borders', i mean, 'France'. But in all seriousness, there's some local stuff of late that's worth having a listen to - today that takes the shape of a young jockey with the moniker We Plants Are Happy Plants , and the Hungarian version of a noise pop supergroup, Hammer of Gods .

Artwork by HydroSeventyFour OK. So Coachella is coming up this weekend, and since I don't live in Phoenix anymore it has proven to be a big hassle to put together. Therefore I created a little guide for myself. And since I have a scanner and I woudl be sure to destroy each copy every day, fuckit. [...]
