Ephwurd Drops “Phunky Beats” & Launches Label, Eph’d Up Records!

Pioneering bass house duo Ephwurd has announced their own label, Eph’d Up Records, and released some “Phunky Beats”!

Two years after Ephwurd first premiered back in October of 2015 at Escape: Psycho Circus, they have officially announced today that they have launched their very own record! Dubbed Eph’d Up Records, the duo of Datsik and Bais Haus will have a hot streak of fresh, original releases that they intend to consistently drop until the end of the year. The release cannon will begin shooting off with hot new single “Phunky Beats“, a perfect way to kick things off.

The absolutely funk-filled track includes samples from the famous speech from 1979 cinematic classic The Warriors, which has been sampled in countless other electronic music tracks but now has special meaning in this context. The famous assertion “the future is ours” is certainly metaphoric for Ephwurd’s biggest project to date. It’s safe to say that Ephwurd will have funky and interesting happenings in store for all of us in the near future.

Stream Ephwurd – Phunky Beats (ft. Jvst Say Yes) on Spotify:

“As artists who enjoy a broad range of music going from the most hype tunes to the most chill, we wanted to be able to freely give music to our fans without the time constraints of a label. Sometimes we finish a song and it won’t be months until you, the fans, get to hear what we have been working on and its such a huge bummer. Eph’d Up Records gives us the freedom to give you folks music when we want and when you deserve it because life is happening now and it’s not set on some schedule. With that said, we are launching the label with a tune of ours that we’ve been dropping for well over a year now and it always goes off! Ladies and gentlemen, we give you Phunky Beats.”
