BIO
"They trade in genre-busting, expectation-defying juxtapositions of sound and style that fit the name Punky Fresh." -Denver Westword
Punky Fresh are electronic music producers, DJ’s, and live performers from the house capital of the world, Chicago, IL. They are made of two brothers, Pete and Dan. The two started off experimenting with various sounds after attending Perry's Stage at Lollapalooza 2008. In nearly six months, Punky Fresh went from playing underground parties to playing with worldwide established artists and DJ's such as Mix Master Mike (Beastie Boys), MSTRKRFT, Tittsworth, and DJ Mel.
The duo remixed Passion Pit's "The Reeling" which won the 2009 Dell Lounge: LBS Remix competition. Punky Fresh ultimately landed a coveted spot at Lollapalooza that summer, sharing the stage with Bassnectar, Diplo, Kaskade, Perry Farrell, Moneypenny, and more.
Kicking off 2010, Punky Fresh headlined the first weekend of the new year at the world famous Beta Nightclub in Denver, CO. The duo were selected by Global Inheritance to play the Sweatshop Mixer at Coachella 2010. Later that summer, Punky Fresh went on their first tour that stretched out from Colorado to Pennsylvania, opening up for acts such as Designer Drugs, Le Castle Vania, LA Riots, One Man Party (Soulwax), D.I.M., DJ White Shadow (Lady Gaga), Hey Champ, Lucky Date, Hot Pink Delorean, Midnight Conspiracy, and many more.
Pete and Dan spent most of winter 2010 finishing their debut album 'Like Lavender' which is self described as “Sophisticated eye opening EDM experience that takes you into a journey rather than just party music." The album is currently in post production, awaiting a 2012 release.
In June 2011, after having taken nearly 7 months off from DJing and making live appearances, Punky Fresh threw their first big event of 2011 with Effort Chicago titled "Crazy Ass Dance Party" bringing in Le Castle Vania and Kids At The Bar to co-headline. TheUntz.com hailed the party a success stating that, "The event lived up to its bold promise and then some..." Punky Fresh was later added to Hard Summer Tour with Digitalism, Caspa, & Jack Beats at the Chicago stop of the tour.
Punky Fresh kicked off 2012 with a bang, playing Stellar Spark's sold out New Years Eve show which was headlined by Skrillex, Alvin Risk, Dillon Francis, and Donald Glaude at The Rave in Milwaukee, WI.
