Pachanga Boys’ Rebolledo and Gomma Boss Munk doing a single together! And when two freaks like them meet for music – the result has to be a masterpiece of craziness!
Surf Smurf – this single sounds like a David Lynch movie soundtrack for 2030. A dirty 60ies Surf Rock song gone electronic. There are 2 versions of the song: Rebolledo did a 12 minute dub techno rockabilly orgy. Munk a more energetic surf hop house track that will people drive crazy.
Check this out.. it’s special. Also the bonus track Got It Baby… haha… analogue piano acid techno for soul boys and girls…

New Munk single “The Beat” first went up high in the Beatport House charts and now finally gets a video for the heavy Kolombo remix.
Munich’s Studio Seidel’s clip takes you directly to Toy Town, where residents include ice-skating bears, xylophone-playing hounds and an elephant on drums.
There’s also a vintage cameo from that mental cymbal-crashing chimp from Toy Story 3, whose wide-eyed, unblinking visage is slightly less terrifying when accompanied by this crisply bouncing beat and Londoner Mona Lazette’s smoothly understated vocals. Plus, with the continuing rise of the kigu, it might not be long before clubs start looking like this anyway…
