Two of the UK's most innovative forces in electronic-jazz collide on CHONK — the new album from drummer/producer Chiminyo and synth wizard Wonky Logic. Born out of a spontaneous live jam, the duo locked into a deep improvisational flow, blending live percussion, heavy synths, and intricate beats into a sound that's as raw as it is futuristic.
Across the record, you'll hear the pulse of London's underground — from thunderous drum energy to glitchy electronic textures — all tied together by the duo's unmistakable chemistry. Featuring guest appearances from Brother Portrait and Nadeem Din-Gabisi, CHONK sits somewhere between jazz, club music, and cosmic experimentation. It's wild, unpredictable, and full of life — a snapshot of two artists pushing rhythm and sound to their limits.
