In 2015, Dutch DJ and producer Prunk founded PIV Records with the aim of creating a platform to promote gifted producers who share a passion for sophisticated US house music. The label is dedicated to reviving the timeless sound of this genre while infusing it with a contemporary European flair. In addition to regularly releasing music, PIV Records also hosts events within Amsterdam's bustling nightlife scene, allowing its artists to showcase their unique sound.
Review: For the latest musical missive on their offshoot label, party crew-come-clothing brand-come-DJ agency PIV has decided to serve up an expansive album from founder Prunk. 'Le Funk' is undoubtedly his most eclectic and well-rounded musical statement yet, with the collected tracks confidently shuffling between head-nodding instrumental hip-hop ('Mushroom Jazz', whose title references Mark Farina's similarly styled compilation series of the same name), warming and subtly disco-tinged house headiness (MR V collab 'Friday Night'), classy deep house ('New Genesis' and the refreshingly bumpin' 'Incrdible'), solo-laden collaborations (the brilliant 'Story of House' with M-High and Jovonn), US garage/New Jersey deep house fusion ('Drive', with Dennis Quin) and sub-heavy peak-time anthems ('Incredible (Club Mix)').
