Jóvenes y Sexys - Bruno Remixed

Hey everybody, we're coming very close to the end of our netlabel & Blogspot "era". That sounds pretty wicked, right? Well, it is. But don't mind that, for we have an entirely better and rather more interesting surprise for you guys. Oh, don’t worry. We will tell you all about our "good bye" within the third surprise we have planned for you, but before that (again), let’s go back to the true meaning of this post.

Our Venezuelan "panitas", Jóvenes y Sexys, are back. Were they ever gone? Not really, well, in a way, yeah. But don't get shaky, here's the update: After their "Bruno EP" release, Cheky & Loo came to Mexico, met a bunch of talented people, and somehow, they did not only end up appearing in two soundtracks (for the Mexican films "Rudo y cursi" and "Voy a explotar"), in case you were wondering, JYS just got back home from playing a few gigs in Brazil a few days ago.

Remember their last release? Well, María y José (Tijuana), pepepe (Guadalajara) and Nuuro (New York) certainly do. Don’t worry if you don’t. We’re done with the words, anyway. All you have to know from now on is that, because of artists like Jóvenes y Sexys, we have decided to take Poni Republic to a whole other level. But please, remain tuned. Don't drop out!

Anyways, starting from this release...

Well, kind of...

Argh.

OK, OK. We hate surprises; so let’s just say we sort of have another Venezuelan release ready for you to enclose our official "farewell", but before that, please, go ahead and enjoy these fine tunes (and artwork)…

Fuck Her, or the Terrorists Win

"Fuck Her, or The Terrorists Win es un dúo de pop electrónico compuesto por dos pilares de la nueva ola regiomontana en el que podemos encontrar increíbles reminiscencias de música presentada hasta hoy sólo por bandas como The Cansecos, o en el más popular de los casos, The Postal Service. Y no es de sorprenderse, ya que de algún modo Roberto Polo (60 Tigres, Mr. Racoon, Club Comfort y En Ventura) vendría a ser algo así como un Ben Gibbard mexicano, mientras que Roger Cámara (Álbum, Los Re Sostenido, Zozaya Mariachi DJ, etc.), sería ese prolífico –pero a menudo discreto– Jimmy Tamborello, el que lo acompaña en esta encantadora y contagiosa aventura musical."

Full-Source, Dinner Table Conversation EP

Fortunely, every once in a while somebody like Tim Dwyer contacts us and shocks the hell out of our minds.

Hello,

It's not often that I come across a netlabel where I actually feel like my music would fit in.

I'm looking for a place to release me newest EP. It's 3 electronic pop songs with lots acoustic samplings. I guess some would call it indietronic or folktronic?

Anyway, I've been making music for about 10 years now, refining and reinventing my sound. I really hope you like this EP! I'd love to have it released on Poni Republic.

Best Regards,

Tim
