"Drummer and percussionist, Art Konik is an accomplished musician working in different musical fields from jazz to world music and leftfield. While pursuing his numerous collaborations with various bands, he starts working on his own project, based on home-made samples and loops, ranging from ethnic and traditional music to more jazz structures. The versatility of his talent is particularly reflected in jazz pieces like 'Finger', 'Hum' or 'Mingpark', three nu-jazz floor-fillers based on heavy bass lines, subtle keyboard work, vocal samples, free blowing horns and the particular Art Konik off-beat. With the release of his first album Vendetta Society, including some guest such as free-jazz legends Bobby Few (piano on 'Finger') or Jef Sicard (saxophonist and leader of the cult band Full Moon Ensemble) and a couple of remixes by the like of Meitz, U.F.O., Playin'4 The City or Abstract Soul, Art Konik is now building his live project, with the help of Smadj (French artist signed on Melt2000, long-time friend, collaborator and producer of the album)."

Deepness is the word to describe their work, a great job that keep the vibe of the original but brings the track to a more 'dancefloor' oriented attitude. Side 2 offers us the possibility to work with Volker Meitz. In his now usual trademark style, his remix of 'Mingpark' is definitely funky and 'for the floor', sounding like the meeting of Herbie Hancock & The Headhunters with the new millennium..."
