The Young Punx return for their second full studio album, a startling and inventive exploration of the deliberate destruction of genre boundaries in electronic music. Probably the first album in history to have toyed with drum and bass, heavy metal, electropop and cuban timba within the first 5 minutes (!)

"Mashpop and Punkstep" is a vibrant manifesto for the next generation of mashup music. Featuring the epic collaboration with Memphis hip hop Don 'Count Bass D' - "Ready For the Fight" (already heard as the theme music for EA Games "Fight Night 4" and as official entry music for world middleweight champion Arthur Abraham), the J-pop electro disco of SugarCandySuperNova and the Ragga House of "Juice and Gin" the album spans Puccini Opera, Punk rock, hip hop, synth pop, Japanese rock and much more... 

What the blogs are are saying about Mashpop and Punkstep: 

Blastercase - "An epic breakbeat-dancehall-techno-rocking-hip-hop-electro-mind-fuck... Highly recommend grabbing their debut album" Disco Demos - "You You You has easily convinced me to mention the album on my site. It's like a cross-section of contemporary music, totally amazing" 

The Culture of Me - "There is no such thing as a great electronic record; there is in fact only a such thing as a great record. Mashpop & Punkstep is that great record... one of the best "pop" records we've heard in years" 

Trash Menagerie - "Full of surprises and a lot of fun" Extra New Music - "One of the Best Indie Party Albums this year!" 

Funky House Music - "With the release of 'Mashpop & Punkstep' The Young Punx could well have produced the first dancefloor focused, must-have album of the year..." 

Robot Pigeon - "There are certainly tracks that we absolutely adore and will repeat to death" 

Feral Party Kids - "We give this album 41/2 to of 5 stars. Young Punx bring the heat" 

The Docking Station - "A fantastically thoughtful and mind bending ride, as one never knows quite what's next... like you're punched in the face one minute only to be coddled to sleep the next." 

I Really Love Music - "An album that will provide smiles for anyone wanting a simple set of straight to the dance floor grooves." 

Atari Cool Kids - "The Young Punx has put out a storm of thunderous beats and compelling remixed instrumentals their latest Studio Album is a punch to the gut with hard hitting melodies with smooth transitions from track to track."

Ready For The Fight

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.
