While his band are recording the next album, Andy Hung (one half of Fuck Buttons) is keeping the clubs jumping with an intoxicating blend of cosmic dance music. You can check one of his DJ sets here which takes in Kraut Rock rhythms, techno and far out club tunes.

Fuck Buttons exploded onto the scene in early 2008 after being signed to ATP Recordings (the people behind legendary international All Tomorrow's Parties festivals and Dont Look Back events). The release of debut STREET HORRRSING album whilst touring non stop has earned Fuck Buttons cult status as one of the most exciting new experimental acts around. Young and refreshing, Fuck Buttons "straddle the wall of sound that lies between the beginning of destruction and the end of birth".

Fuck Buttons was conceived by Andrew Hung & Benjamin John Power in the winter of 2004, Bristol UK.
Initially the group was born as an outlet for their nihilistic-noise tendencies but quickly, the two Fuck Buttons realised they could harness the use of noise as a tool to immerse and evoke. No longer afraid of melody or rhythm, the group started fusing all these elements to the point when drone becomes melody becomes rhythm.
With their electric live performances sealing the notion that the two Fuck Buttons are attempting some kind of transcendence between the listener and the Universe itself, one could easily envisage one’s psyches being shaken by the very rumbles of the earth’s motions.
Tribal beats and subtle beautiful melodies weave amongst contorting Technicolor drone-scapes while preaching distorted-vocals scream for dear hope herself…
Fuck Buttons straddle you between the wall of sound that lies between the beginning of destruction and the end of birth. This grand noise will fondle you into a state of immersed euphoria.

Press Quotes for 'Street Horrrsing' Album
“adrenaline pumping, ear purging slab of towering, pristine noise…” Time Out
“One of the more exciting things to happen to experimental electronica in some time….” The Observer
“Fuck Buttons are loud, because oceans are big and mountains are heavy and death is final. Not Because they Hate you” Plan B
“This is music that delivers elation and, although they’re indebted to Wolf Eyes’ industrial decay and Black Dice’s fractured dance patterns, they’re fast marking themselves as a unique proposition” The Stool Pigeon
“a droning post-rock behemoth. [The album’s] six tracks reign supreme over 40 minutes, lapping against the mind like an electronic tide disorientating and drowning the listener” Drowned in Sound
