Shaping forward thinking sound with constant quality, DONKONG has become an focal point of the
german bass music scene and beyond. Their taste and skills in song writing and sound design
brought international attention to their work.
With releases on imprints like Confession, Heldeep and lately Musical Freedom their songs got
played around the globe by names like MAJOR LAZER, DAVID GUETTA, STEVE AOKI, DON
DIABLO and DJ SHADOW and their „You Don’t“ remix for MARTEN HØRGER was voted Tune Of
The Month in Mixmag.
But Johannes (Cop Dickie) and Thomas (Tom Finster) did not come out of nowhere; they've been
working with some of the most successful german singers and bands like KRAFTKLUB and were
credited with a platinum record for the music on CASPER’s "XOXO". Both started as hiphop
bedroom producers 600 km distant from each other, as their taste for electronic music gravitated
them in 2012.
Donkong dives deep into the realm of dystopian cyber punk and future vibes. Themed around the
topic of artificial intelligence their „Breathing“ EP series weaves you into a conversation about love
and slavery. Their recent titles like „Simulation“ and „Battery Life“ continue that story in a housy
framework. With ultra-synthetic sound design & profound musicality, Thomas and Johannes are on
their way to quantum supremacy.
