Shrouded in mystery and dressed up in an enigma, The Loneliest Hunk thrives on forging connections through the electric pulse of sound. Blending house, disco, indie dance, and electronica, entwined with timeless melodies designed to evoke joy and happiness. All underpinned with a hefty amount of grunt. It’s the kind of sonic sorcery that compels your body to move and your face to break into a wild, uninhibited grin.
For the past few years, he has been a clandestine operative in the realm of edits and reworks, leaving his mark on free samplers from Discoholics Anonymous and That’s Not an Edit, and of course his by now legendary Soundcloud. His sonic craftsmanship has not gone unnoticed, amassing a cult following that spans the globe.
The Loneliest Hunk’s tracks have infiltrated the playlists of legendary spin doctors like Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, Peter Kruder, Craig Charles with his BB6 Funk and Soul radio show, Birdee, Rimarkable, Yolanda Be Cool, Fingerman, and Ladies on Mars.
With his Reworks on Danish Discoholics Anonymous Recordings label, he continues to up the ante.
“Shrouded in mystery and dressed up in an enigma, The Loneliest Hunk fuses the sounds of house, disco, indie dance and electronica,” or so his bio tells us – and it is at least a fair description of the three tracks here, wherein he reworks three dancefloor bullets from days gone by. The tracks in question are US soul, funk and jazz legend Idris Muhammad’s ‘Could Heaven Ever Be Like This’ from 1977, Sweet Daddy Floyd’s ‘I Just Can’t Help Myself’ from 1978 and Canadian disco diva Gina Soccio’s ‘Dancer’ from 1979, with Mr Hunk giving all three a chunkier, struttier but respectful contemporary disco polish for maximum modern floor appeal. – Juno Download
