Sweden seems to be quickly redefining its status as a purveyor of fine music - not content with proffering quality Chip Music and Metal, there are bands and DJs spanning every genre emerging on to the global scene at an astounding rate. It’s no surprise then that The Donk Boys hail from that part of the globe, Malmö - southern Sweden - to be specific.
The boys have been collaborating since October last year, having found previous success solo. Martin Abrahamsson, aka Bauri, has released a deluge of tracks over the past decade or so and been featured on labels such as City Centre Offices and, more recently, Expanding Records. Thomas Jaldemark had his inaugural release on net label Thinner and, earlier this year, was featured on Norway-based techno label Lordag.
The music Thomas and Martin make as The Donk Boys is stripped-back, spiced occasionally with freakish sounds and utterly accomplished: both boys have been busy and both boys certainly know their techno. It’s almost painful not to groove along, their tunes are chunks of pure electronic chocolate - your brain unwrapping the glistening packaging before your body devours the moreish contents. It’s that damn yummy.
This is the beginning of something really good then - the live shows are causing a major stir over in Sweden and they have forthcoming releases on a couple of labels, including Kreatur Musik. It seems that The Donk Boys don’t need too much to keep them happy either, “Our plan is to do some more live shows, release a bunch of kick ass records and drink some beer .” So if you enjoy the live set on Defunktion, contribute to making The Donk Boys happy - all you have to do is catch their live show, listen to their records and buy them a beer.
