To describe C-mon & Kypski's music is as hard as playing soccer with a banana. People might find it even harder to describe what they do when they play their studio-recorded music live. They compose and produce in their home studio (El Crib), like any other producer does, we all know that method by now. But that is just one method of how C-mon & Kypski create their songs.

The other is this: C-mon & Kypski can also compose AND produce a song from 'scratch', on stage, in realtime. This includes live sampling, looping, the effects, the filters....and of course monstrous scratching action by six times national turntable champion Kypski. Starting with absolutely nothing, ending with freaked out booming skratchadelic funk dance. No sequencers or pre-recorded samples are used. Together with strong visual action the live show is complete. With this improvisational concept they played the gigs to promote their debut album Vinyl Voodoo, with great, great succes. It's only just begun.

Now, with the new album, Static Traveller, C & K wanted to come out heavier and take everything more to the extreme, pushing the limits (if there are any) of their potential even further. Where Vinyl Voodoo was primarily studio-made as a duo, this album will have more live-made tracks as a quartet, and more explosive than ever! Same goes for their liveshow, as you will see and hear when you go to one their shows promoting the new album. Still don't get it? Let the music speak for itself and check the player below!
