The Young Punx – Mashpop & Punkstep: DnB Mixes

The Young Punx team up with Croatian drum & bass powerhouse Kodin to reimagine tracks from their cult 2009 album Mashpop & Punkstep through a dark DnB lens.

At the centre of the EP is “Like Dat” (feat. Count Bass D) — a tough, neuro-tinged rework that blends heavyweight low-end with occasional Blade Runner-style synth atmospheres. Bronx-born indie-rap legend Count Bass D delivers surreal, coded verses — retelling The Young Punx’s tour stories in a hybrid of Tennessee/Atlanta slang and clipped London RP — over Kodin’s cinematic production.

Also included is Kodin’s reinvention of the ragga-tinged “Juice and Gin”, the remix that first caught The Young Punx’s ear and sparked the whole collaboration. His distinctive sound design and uncompromising grooves push the track into deeper, futuristic territory.

To complete the package, Phonat’s Punkstep Mix of “Ready For The Fight” is included — a rock-meets-drum & bass collision driven by distorted guitars, perfectly reflecting the culture-clash ethos of the original album. Previously released, it’s included here to round out the DnB collection.

Visuals for the release come from Dutch artist Han Hoogerbrugge, whose typographical chaos of lyrics set against pixelated sea creatures and cityscapes offers a uniquely abstract response to the music.

The Young Punx is the twisted alter ego of Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum producer Hal Ritson — the man behind 25 billion streams for artists like Kanye West, The Chemical Brothers, Charli XCX, Nas, Avicii, Duke Dumont, and Clean Bandit.

This is where the rule-breaking happens.

A wild collision of house, disco, rock, funk, jazz, drum & bass, and anything else lying around the cultural scrapyard, The Young Punx makes high-energy, high-attitude music that celebrates chaos and creativity in equal measure.

From viral bootlegs and remixes in the 2000s, to festival stages worldwide and collaborations with Peaches, Amanda Palmer, Dizzee Rascal, Snoop Dogg and more — The Young Punx has always been hard to define and impossible to ignore.

Now reloading for 2025 with a new wave of music, animation and genre-defying anthems.
The new album WPUNX is on the way. Stay tuned.
