@gunkbeats

With the new year comes a slew of new beginnings, and for Josh Kipersztok and David Westbom, that means unveiling the start of their new co-produced GUNK project. Josh is near and dear to us here at The Rust under his Smigonaut moniker, and David’s reputation precedes him as the mind behind Asteroids and Earthquakes, so it should come as no surprise that we’re incredibly excited to host the premier of their first minted EP for our 92nd release. Combining their creative talents to explore a frenetic new direction, the fruits of their efforts are bared full in Now That’s What I Call GUNK.

Brolic, energetic, and brackish where it counts, Now That’s What I Call GUNK is injection-molded for the dancefloor. Meaty bass lines meet dense, percussive breakdowns for a vibe that punches above its weight class. Searing synthesis takes the spotlight for the EP, with every track tearing through the mudpie of patches on the ingredient list. It’s an engaging and fresh take on upbeat Neuro Hop, bringing sound design back into vogue through bodacious groove and production finesse. Available wherever good tunes are found, Now That’s What I Call GUNK is sure to stay in rotation throughout 2025 and beyond.

Now That's What I Call Gunk!
