In the summer of 2017, Kees Berkers (Baby Galaxy, YAYAYA) & Yves Lennertz (Bounty
Island) started writing and recording songs in a ballet school in a remote village atthe foot
of the Plateau of Doenrade near Alpaca Mountain. Being avid record collectors, with both
members having a collection spanning almost every musical era and genre, details from
many different genres seep through in their music.
Using South East Asian music from the 60´s and 70´s as a main inspiration, whilst also
bringing their individual musical backgrounds and interests to the table, the recording
spree resulted in a remarkable set of songs mixing world music, disco, funk and electronic
music.
The back-and-forth between the two members during the creative process is symbolized
by the name of their debut tape, ´Pingpxng´, which describes how two seemingly opposite
or contrary forces may actually be complementary. The number of songs on the
debut, twelve, symbolizes the member‘s drive to discover and create new music, not being
bothered by any boundaries or limitations.
