Donk Boys "Hoppetoss" Floppy Funk 16
Roar! The Donks follow up the Karaoke destroyer EP "Sing Along With" on Floppy Funk with another jackin 4-tracker. This time presented to you as a nutricious meal. Hehu! "Poing poing" is a deep bowl of rolling aquatic minimal house. Seasoned with sharp-as-knives percussion, klonks, owl-like bleeps and the obvious cut-up biz, this is full-on for the mini (M-nus) heads. Poing! Next up is the main course, "Hoppetoss". A spicy tech dish that grooves totally in its own league. Bim-ba-bam, a-a-ah, oh, that stupid noodling hook recalling "Geht's noch". Still hungry? Flip for "Acid Boys Horses Girls" as the boys take on a beefy slab of acid house. Slow, dirty and gritty, with just enough phat to make it succulent! Nice. Watch yourself for the freaky parts (features the demented vocals of Martin Donk). "Bladen Bus" is the busy little dessert that finishes off the EP. A cute, but brutal (whole grain), Chicago house onslaught. Loosen your belt and throw those funny fists in the air! Till next time - eat your greens and party on boys, girls, and horses... :)

Although every Donk Boy EP I've listened to was heads and shoulders better than most of the noise out there I find each EP has one track that is the stand out. For the Hoppetoss Ep it's the 'Acid Boys' track (A1) which has Martin on vox rockin' it out in a old school DBX/Green Velvet manner. Don't let it fool you into ignoring the other three tracks though. They're all welcome additions to the box of puzzle pieces.
