WE-ARE-MNKY-AND-RYKI

Hi all!

It's been a while since we've done an update but now we have a few things to chat shit about!!

Firstly, you may notice the new paint job! We've gone and given ourselves a bit of a theme for 2009 and that is our "WE ARE: M.N.K.Y + RYKI" campaign. Theres not much else in it to be honest other than a cool slogan and colour scheme but we are easily pleased! lol! We will also have a mix with the same name coming this summer too to give out at our gigs. Stay posted.

Secondly, we did a mix to be aired on Slinky.FM in February! Unfortunately there was a mix up and it never happened but instead we were delighted to hear that Paul Van Dyke filled in for us so thanks for that Paul! hehe! Anyways this 45 minute mix is now available for download, right click the slinky logo and 'save target as' to download.

Thirdly, this month we are in 'Core Mag'! Our profile is featured in Jon The Baptist & DJ Chuck-E's Hard Trance Heaven section on page 92! Unfortunately it doesn't feature our brand spanking new biography (see below) but any promo is good promo! :D Click the logo to get the magazine!

We have a photoshoot with the man the legend that is Charlie Raven aka DSI's 'billynasty' planned in June. Charlie is a jedi ninja with a camera so it'll be interesting to see what he can do with our ugly mugs! Check out www.charlieraven.com for some tog magic!

Finally our 1st track!! We started a track with Species Records label owner Jay Saloman (above) last year when we went up to his studio for a couple of days. We laid down some good work but it has since been forgotten about until Calvin Bloody Harris!!! Mr Harris has released a track recently called 'I'm not alone' which 'conveniently' went to number 1 in the UK charts! Now I reckon Mr Saloman & Mr Harris are bum chums (they both dress the same for a start!) and he must have slyed Mr Harris our toon cuz it sounds exactly the same!!! haha! Only messing! So anyway, we are going to return the 'ripping off' by doing it back to ol Calv! Work begins this wknd (hopefully!)

Anyways, thats all for now. Below we have our new biog for you to read, a list of gigs we are playing at (with flyers) and a link to our current mix 'Frenzy Gets Fierce'.

Ta ta for now, see you on the dancefloor somewhere!

MNKY & Ryki are one of the most exciting back-to-back DJ partnerships to emerge from the UK clubbing scene in recent years, and are fast cementing themselves a reputation amongst the hard dance community for fast beats, energetic performances and fun-packed sets.

Hailing from the seaside resort of Weymouth on the south coast, they have rapidly proved themselves to be too loud for that town and have taken their dynamic act further afield with appearances at Slinky and Nu Religion, not to mention securing a residency with the nationally renowned hard house clubnight Frenzy.

Marc, promoter of Slinky and Frenzy has labeled the boys “one to watch in 2009” and rates them as “two of the most exciting, talented and freshest DJs I’ve seen in years. The fact that the lads are best mates shines through when you see them behind the decks, it’s not just about the mixing with them… it’s also about the performance”.

Their musical repertoire is very much towards the harder end of hard, and their colours are nailed firmly to the mast of euphoric UK Hard Trance through to tough European Hard Trance.

With support from some of the hard dance scene’s leading promoters, clubs, and DJs, MNKY & Ryki are set to make 2009 the year of the Monkey. Catch them in a club near you soon!
