The Young Punx (Hal Ritson and Nathan Taylor) are the puckish agent-provocateurs of the dance music scene, simultaneously celebrating and challenging everything that club culture can and should be. 　　  　　Emerging in 2003 out of the twin worlds of the London breaks scene and Internet mashup scene, the duo gained rapid notoriety for combining stellar club production with flamboyant musicianship and an ironic pop-culture mentality that sought to deliver dancefloor hits while undermining the assumptions about what a dance act should aim to achieve. Propelled by BBC Radio One champions into the mainstream, within 6 months of cutting their first white label The Young Punx were voted bootleg remixers of the year by Radio One listeners, signed to EMI for a 5 figure sum and placed 25/1 for Christmas Number 1 with a disco house track that, in typical cantankerous form, sampled a TV advert in a manner that left everyone unclear if they were taking this all entirely seriously. 　　  　　Over the following years The Young Punx continued to build their reputation as remixers for the likes of Norman Cook, Scissor Sisters, Tom Jones, De’Lacey and Tina Turner, while releasing a string of tracks that constantly threw wildcards into the clubland scene. Sampling 80s pop hits before “Call On Me” made it acceptable; remaking Mylo’s “Destroy Rock and Roll” as the vitriolic “Destroy Celebrity Crap” – a prescient anthem against the dumbing down of pop culture; collaborating with a young Steve Angello and 80s icon Howard Jones on the same track; adding virtuoso instrumentalists such as shred metal legend Guthrie Govan to electro backings; and constantly striving to push forward the boundaries of mashup music, willfully swapping genres and combining radically different musical forms in unexpected ways.
