about
Putting the Peaky in pounding, mister funk it up himself creates the ultimate hard techno vibe of explosive energy on the dance-floor. After a short and stirring career in techno, Peaky Pounder (Jeffrey de Gans) came into contact with The Third Movement in 2002. His vision and style of music was so unique that TTM was instantly the ideal home. With a background in techno, a fictitious Finnish appearance (he is truly dutch, life's in The Hague) and a teckel named Kurkuu, Peaky created a raw and powerful blend of percussion, beats and distortion. A funky sound, positive and yet so strong, there was no genre to blend it with. Traveling the edges of techno and industrial as well as incorporating his typical funk into the mix, Peaky Pounder is one of those artists who managed to define a new sound. His first release (‘Hermosto’, 2002) at the Third Movement label was unique and ground breaking. When the vinyl was released it was clear that Peaky’s sound had evolved into something so hard and pure that it created appeal with both techno and hardcore audiences. Pushing his own limits with further releases every year like ‘Fasttalking’, ‘Viimeinen’ and ‘Positiivista’, Peaky Pounder continued to develope his music. The definitive acceptance of the Peaky Pounder vibe came with the release of his first album in the summer of 2006 titled ‘Kippis!’. An album featuring both the dancefloor funk which Peaky is known for and deeper more break-beat related experiments in electronic music.
