Drunken Kong step up for their Drumcode debut. 

Residents at Tokyo’s legendary Womb, the duo has notched up a string of quality releases on labels including Tronic, Terminal M and Octopus over the years, reinforcing themselves as one of Japan’s most treasured techno acts. 

Drunken Kong have a distinct sound signature, as dreamy melodic and vocal elements rub shoulders with the pair’s trademark groove-orientated rhythms to create hypnotic techno outings that span the breadth of the genre, from heads down rollers to peak-time pleasure.

Their maiden outing on Drumcode is an inspiring four-track work ‘I Want To See’ that lays down this sonic manifesto, with each track built around different vocal samples used to skilful effect. EP opener ‘It’s Then’ brings atmosphere in spades, mixing up a chugging bottom end, a sleek synth line and a sublime vocal that simmers throughout. The title track is another late-night dancefloor affair that shifts between function and fun, as a slick mix of polished grooves and hypnotising melodies build towards 
a thrilling crescendo. ‘That’s It’ brings peak-time energy against a plump electro backbone and ’90-tinged vocal. The EP rounds out with evocative ‘Need It’, as a stirring vox and metallic drumlines propel the track forward. 

Tracklist:

1. Drunken Kong - It’s Then
2. Drunken Kong - I Want to See
3. Drunken Kong - That’s It
4. Drunken Kong - Need It

The relentless force and boundless creative spirit behind the duo Drunken Kong has heralded much attention and DJ love. A firm fixture with renowned labels and top Tokyo nightspots, they finally come aboard with this hypnotic and fast paced thrill ride. Tightly focused and tough as hell, they set their sights on the harder edge of the dance floor. On remix duties we harnessed the exciting trajectory of Michael Klein, a fast rising meteor, deeply submerged in the Berlin underground. His genuinely unique interpretation is both complex and lethal on the floor.

We recently had a remix competition for one of Drunken Kong's tracks called 'Peace'. Over 300 producers submitted their remixes and we chose three winners. Japan's Hisashi Aochi delivered a Balearic piano infused remix, whereas Italian's Stiv Hey and The Southern gave the track a more peak time treatment. To finish off the winners, UK's Ettica delivered a sublime melodic interpretation. We are very proud of all the remix submissions and want to congratulate the winners for a job well done!

While Tronic Radio recently had its 400th episode Laurent Garnier delivered a storming set for us. One of the stand out tracks was undoubtedly the elegant Detroit influenced track by Jules Wells and Mason Rubinstein - Revolutionary Time. We decided to license this track from the well-respected label, Hijacked, to give the song a new life and add some modern remixes. For the remixes, we recruited our favorite Japanese artist, Drunken Kong. While staying true to the original, Drunken Kong added some percussion and their trademark energy, with an epic break. Much love to Detroit Techno!

Having crushed the charts and elevated crowds online with Kronos, Hi-Lo now gets the remix treatment from the label boss man, Sian, and the extraordinary Tokyo based talent, Drunken Kong. Sian takes the mix into dark, 80's bassline territory, whipping from acid to euphoria in the drops. Drunken Kong give the track a sublime workout, adding a specialist aspect, and warping the original elements into a futuristic after-hours landscape.
