Following in the footsteps of Outplay’s offshoot 24 Carrot’s number one iteration published last year, Fouk & Junktion are back with the second volume in their carotenoid-rich series - again soberly titled, ’24 Carrot #2’. Known for their juicy blends of low-slung house and tribal funk, the Dutch duo take an outright peppy shot at the news threads’ continuous doom-and-gloom with four delectably carefree cuts that’ll boost your lockdowned arses to proper upward feelings.

Moving the cursor from Afro polyrhythms to sample-heavy house and everything in between, ’24 Carrot #2’ serves up a quartet of jacuzzi-warm treats, starting with the fun-loving ‘Winner Winner’ - an effervescing, Fela-meets-Ethiopian-jazz-inflected fusion of groovy piano, percussive friskiness and further classic Chicagoan-derived programming.

True to the classic filtered house recipe, tasty slab ‘Chicken Dinner’ gets the vibes flowing and swing swirling cheeky-fowl-style, with its savvy mixture of snappin’n’slappin' cello, straight shuffling patterns and FX-altered vox sampling.

Flip sides and here comes Junktion with the piquant ‘Mustard’ - a breaksy, drum-driven number merging pizzicato’d punk-funk with typical padded deep-house atmospherics and further wonky downtempo electronics.

Rounding off the package is the rewarding after-dinner ’Smokes’, better tasted with a glass of quality whiskey in one hand and a flock of friends by the dancefloor. Taking us on a helluva cinematic, B-movie-friendly jaunt, Fouk & Junktion dish out a fine blend of acidulous bass, rowdy boogie and solid cosmo-discoid pulse pouring over from distant spaces, as they keep the swing-o-meter ticking its way smack dab in the incendiary zone.

PREMIERE : Fouk - Chicken Dinner

We just say Fouk.

For Daniel Leseman & Junktion (Hans Peeman), successful producers on their own merits and friends since childhood, a collaboration was inevitable. Their house sound infused with disco and a lot of funk has been proven to be very infectious.

After the infamous Detroit Swindle signed them to their Heist imprint and released the booming Kill Frenzy EP their name was established firmly to a broad and quickly growing audience. The result was requests for DJ sets across Europe, the America’s & Australia with personal highlights including Glastonbury, LoveBox, Concrete Paris, Output New York, Club Space Miami, Claire and De Marktkantine in Amsterdam.

Their first vinyl release as Fouk, on their own Outplay Records was met with great enthusiasm, the brilliant reactions to ‘Stuff Your Dad Liked’ and ‘Cat Lady’ propelled Fouk and Outplay firmly into the scene as the ‘one to watch’. Since then they’ve released EP’s on Room With A View, The House of Disco and Razor-n-Tape and made a string of strong remixes for the likes of Kraak & Smaak, Smoove & Turrell, Groove Armada, The Brand New Heavies, Luke Million, Joey Negro and Mayer Hawthorne.

After releasing ‘Release The Kraken EP’ featuring Thumpasaurus on The House of Disco, ‘Truffles EP’ on Heist Recordings in 2019 and two EP’s on their own Outplay offshoot ’24 Carrot’ they return again on Heist in 2021 with ‘Blue Steel EP’. Continuing to build on the sound they have evolved throughout the years with a new impulse of creativity.
