“Berliners Dirty Honkers played at the Old Street club I went to last Saturday, and did just that. In midday tropical heat at midnight, they bust up the joint with artful screeches and an entertaining set which veered like an insane drunk driver between modern club and old time jazz.” (Swing report www.theothersideofeverything.com)
Dirty Honkers combines elements of electronics with swing, topping it all off with raps, sexy vocals and uplifting big band melodies. The multi-national crew based in Berlin (Gad Hinkis, Israel; Andrea Roberts, Canada; Florent Mannant, France) cultivates an explosive, creative and authentic sound.
Gad (DJ Neckbreaka) is a corner stone in the Israeli hip hop scene, producing a number of inspirational rappers and projects. Andrea & Florent are the animated front men of the most adored nu-swing band in Berlin Haferflocken Swingers. Both projects have been tearing up stages and gaining reputations for killing crowds all over.
Their first Album “Death by Swing” is out on the french Label Banzai Lab and more tracks are soon to be released. Their song “Gingerbread Man” also appears on two compilations: “ELECTRO SWING vol.3” (Wagram, France) and “THE ELECTRO SWING REVOLUTION vol.1” (Lola's World, Germany).
A compilation of the best stages in 2012.
