Performed entirely by the band and their guests without any audio samples, and with a wry sense of cheeky humour and pop art sensibility, the album features tracks such as "Rockall", ‘Young And Beautiful’ and a surfer breaks track ‘You’ve got to...’ which is featured on the FIFA '07 EA computer game.
Today, The Young Punx are among the most highly demanded remixers in the UK. They have remixed artists such as Chicane and Tom Jones, Scissor Sisters, Hound dogs, Dario G, Tina Turner, Space Cowboy and many more. The Young Punx created the lead radio mix for Studio B’s “C’mon Get it On” which spent several weeks on the Radio 1 Playlist. Their radical Motown-meets-house overhaul of the classic Delacey "Hideaway" has gained a reputation as one of the most daring and enjoyable remixes of recent years, and most recently their mix of Norman Cook's "Mighty Dub Katz - Magic Carpet Ride" hit number 1 in the UK club charts.
Like 2ManyDJs/Soulwax, The Young Punx perform both as DJs and as The Young Punx live band. The full live band includes guitar virtuoso Guthrie Govan (Guitarist Magazine guitarist of the year) and vocals from Tiffany Gore (Medcab / Kraak en Smaak) and Yolanda Quartey (Bugz in the attic / Deekline / Cuban Brothers). In 2006 they performed for 2 nights at the Nano Mugen Festival in Japan to an audience of 24,000. Highlights of 2007 include performing at the Glastonbury Festival, the XFM Remix at Cargo, and SummerSonic Festival in Tokyo and Osaka.
More recently The Young Punx have recorded guest mixes for Annie Nightingale, XFM, Kiss FM, Andi Durrant’s Galaxy FM Network and Ministry of Sound radio, and several mixes for Judge Jules. They are residents at Positiva Calling at The Cross in London and have DJed at Radiohead’s aftershow parties in Earl’s Court
As well as co-running dance label MofoHifi, and performing in dance acts Medcab and Mohito, multi-instrumentalist Hal from The Young Punx also produces and/or performs behind the scenes on many other top 20 dance projects such as Eric Prydz's number one hit "Call on me”, "Shine" by the Lovefreekz, “Ai no corrida” by Uniting Nations and “Fire” by Lethal Bizzle. Hal is the vocalist on the top 20 hit “Tell me why” by Supermode on Data Records and co-wrote 3 tracks on the new album by David Guetta.
The Young Punx are the evolution of electronic dance music, mixing live performance elements into the DJ performance and taking the mashup to newer, higher levels. They perform a live DJ set at Shanghai Club Bonbon on Friday, March 7, 2008.
