Biography
New York City, they say it's the city that never sleeps. With the world we live in now, with our ever changing culture, we find there is so much to explore so why sleep. Were too busy engaging in our daily life, only to fade away our nightlife, but every so often we stop to smell the roses. We feel it coming as the brink of innovation is near, we hear the tall tales, we experience the next level, and we see the next big thing happen every so often in our very own NYC. With that said, if it's not obvious enough, the cities next big thing is right in front of your eyes.... In early 2011 two artist [David & Jordan] joined together in creating the alias "Phunk Kings". David with a background in Tribal & Tech House, and Jordan with a background in Progressive & Minimal House, the fusion of sounds was like no other. Initally the focus was to create different tracks, not just one style but all styles. For about a year of Bootlegs, Remix's, Mashups, & Originals the goal was to find out what their sound was. Testing different methods, trying differnt collaorations, as the year of 2012 came to close, Phunk Kings had made quite a stir, having already been supported by the likes of Laidback Luke, Thomas Gold, & even Roger Sanchez. It didnt take long for the duo to realize they need to reinvent them selves, not just a new alias but a new brand. After a month or so in brainstorming, they stumbled upon some rare analog gear that was quite outdated. Almost 20 to 30 peices of hardware lying around the studio, primarly due to the fact that Jordan's dad had once been a DJ/Producer himself. Although the gear was junk and unusable, it still made sense to have it around the studio for inspiration. Furthermore, having produced, remixed, & mashed up everything digitally and idea clicked. And so DIGITAL JUNKIEZ was born. Kickstarting the new alias on January 1st of 2013 the duo knew what they wanted to acheive, and they were keen on accomplshing thier goals. This time the focus had been Quality not Quantity. After Months in the studio, countless Bootlegs, Mashup's, & Edit's the level was raising. As the fall had come the fun had started. Early September of 2013 the duo signed a new Single "Let's Go' with PEAK HOUR MUSIC. As the focus was Quality not Quantity, the Duo's first ever orginal release had been supported by the likes of Mattise & Sadko, Axwell, Ferry Corsten, Nari & Milani, and many more. Following up to that they debuted a brand new collaboration with Pacific based DJ/Producer Jason Ross on Mr. JoeySuki's imprint DUBBED RECORDS. Which Managed to get the support of legends such as Eddie Halliwell him self. But they didnt stop there, to close of the year they had a couple records they wated to give out for free, as a token for the amazing support they have gotten this past year. On the 25th of December they release a Free Remix to One Republic - If I lose Myself, which got picked up by Kryder, aswell as a timeless remix to The Temper Traps - Sweet Dispositon which has been supported by non other then Thomas Gold. 2014 is here, and this duo is one to watch.
