Hi, this is Punks Jump Up, one of them is called Joe and the other one's David. They are making music and also playing records really loud in public places like clubs. They started out arranging amazing parties in east London in 2004 and began making music shortly after that, mainly because they thought there weren’t enough tunes around that sounded like what they wanted to hear at the time. The first 12” came out in 2004 and is called Be You (Beep Beep) on their own label Cassette Records. It was a total DIY release with hand screen printed sleeves. James Murphy, Erol Alkan, Annie Mac, Rob Da Bank all supported it . After hearing the song Britney spears people got in touch and wanted tunes. Cassette Records built up a great reputation & released a handful of 12”s by Simian Mobile Disco, Meatboys (now Jackpot), Elektrofant & Zongamin. All releases amazingly packaged with hand screen printed sleeves. In 2007 PJU released their second 12” called Dance To Our Disco on the Kitsune label in Paris. It turned into an immediate underground hit and was played on national radio in the UK, Australia, France, Germany, Sweden and more. Rumor has it the mysterious guest vocalist is a famous rock singer from Sweden, and goes by the name of Howlin’ Pelle, The Hives. No one knows if this is true or not... Lots & lots of (official) remixes followed, some of them were Gossip – Listen Up, Digitalism – Pogo, Peter Bjorn & John – Young Folks. Yelle – A Cause Des Garcons, Lykke Li – Breaking It Up and then there was also Robyn’s number one UK single With Every Heartbeat. The Tiga – Beep Beep Beep & Miike Snow – Animal remixes caused a bit of a storm. Tiga's Beep Beep Beep remix stayed more than 10 weeks on Beatport’s Nudisco/Indie top ten chart, and was No1 for 4 weeks. Miike Snow – Animal PJU remix has had massive response on the blogs, Youtube & among countless DJ’s all over the world. The PJU remix of Miami Horror - Moon Theory has just come out & the remix of Zongamin's track Azzazza is currently being played by 2ManyDJ's on their summer world tour. Now latest the PJU remix of Kele (Bloc Party) - Everything is just about to come out. Punks Jump Up have been DJ’ing all over Europe the last couple of years and visited places like Germany, Mexico, Turkey, France, Spain, Lithuania, Belgium, Italy, Finland, Greece, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway. Last year PJU also did a two week Australian tour. Some of the people PJU have played with are 2 Many DJ’s, Erol Alkan, Chromeo, Crookers, Breakbot, Peaches, Joakim, Hot Chip, Bloody Beetroots, Boys Noize, Herve.., SebastiAn, Busy P, Kavinsky and loads more. They also did a 2 week German Levi’s tour with MSTRKRFT and Shit Disco, heavily fuelled by Jaegermeister…...Then there was also the UK/Europe Kitsune tour with Digitalism & Beni among a few. PJU are currently in their studio in London, W10, working most of the time when they’re not touring. Now they’re finishing off new material which will become their first album. Oh they got their own t shirt label too! It’s called Stiff Couture. They’ve relased three t shirts so far, each designed by Kate Moross, European Animal & Jiro Bevis. The designs are so distinctive they have been heavily bootlegged.There will be more t’s, because t shirts are fun!                            *Wyatt Donnelly* PUNKS JUMP UP   -  BOOKiNG REQUEST (exception: G/A/S + UK) TO: ingo@freakz-me-out.de
