Pre-order the Punkers EP
Stream the title track “Punkers”






The Punkers EP, the debut release from Portland, OR’s Freak Out!, tunes in from a frequency emanating from a loosely parallel timeline bridging the past, future, and eternal: a far mellower mirror of our own reality where punks, freaks, and benevolent stoned wanderers still walk the Earth; where the “electronica” section is still stop #1 at the record store; where prismatic big beat sample-driven bangers still rainbow together dancefloors across oceans.

This manner of casual cosmic time-and-space-tripping now comes confidently as second nature to the Certified Bad Boys™ of Freak Out!, who have been growing their amorphous and genre-fluid sound-Pulse globally of late with mixes for heavy-hitting musical collectives such as Sound Metaphors, Dream Chimney, and Test Pressing.

Those hailing from the mirror timeline will immediately recognize the titular Punkers off the OST from Playstation 1 classic Burrito Run: Venice Beach; others will have less context but be no less stoked for this loose-limbed rave anthem flinging the EP down the rail with force quite impressive indeed. Lucky Stoned pumps the brakes but rolls the top down, welcoming a cool breeze of pop-shoegaze sleaze before a glittering flock of synth-gulls alight across the backseat, cruising into smoggy coral under the credit roll.

Time for a cheeky snack: Herbs and Spices smears a proprietary blend of over 45 local and international flavors (patent pending) all over a high-energy Elektro-Kebab certain to provide critical energy and nutrients. Not a moment too soon, as EP closer The Answer wrings out every ounce of protein and emotion you’ve got left with an elegantly harmonized French house-flavored midtempo thumper shutting things down with vocoded sunbeams of love blasting through the stained-glass windows.

But that’s not all! Well-befitting a recorded item so reminiscent of the time of Little Plastic Discs, we have been graced with a stellar BONUS TRACK. As revealed by the squelchy classic techno version of the track delivered by Los Angeles legends DX3, the Punkers are dropping acid—and they love it.

More on Freak Out!

Fueled by an outlaw spirit, Freak Out!—the DJ duo comprised of Break Mode and Palm Pilot—compels dance floors to do exactly that. Their sets stitch together rock & roll attitude with house, electro, EBM, and disco, creating a sound that’s as unpredictable as it is dance inducing.

Based in Portland, Freak Out! plays regularly in their hometown while also branching abroad—most recently bringing their energy to Sameheads in Berlin. Along the way, they’ve shared the booth with kindred spirits such as Niklas Wandt, Xica Soul, and Sound Metaphors, further cementing their place in the underground circuit.

They also hold a monthly residency on Noods Radio in Bristol, England, where they let their hair down with selections that push boundaries while staying true to the Freak Out! Pulse.
