Pop Stuff by Dun Dun & Nástio Mosquito

Diogo and Nástio’s paths crossed more than 15 years ago, long before the former had ventured into music making and the latter had burst into the zeitgeist of the international contemporary art scene with his defiant and corrosive stance. The curiosity they initially felt for one another grew over time, allowing their friendship to spill over and expand into something far deeper. Nástio Mosquito is family.

The invitation for this record came about naturally. Diogo and Nástio have frequently collaborated on hybrid projects involving performance, photography, music — but, above all, community. So when the original Dun Dun record reached Nástio’s ears, the initiative for this new proposal was his:

- FODASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEE!!!!!!
- BASS UPPERS A DAR SURRA NO OSSO.
- É MESMO ISSO.
- SHIIIIIIIIIIT.
- Diogo CARACOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- this shit is speaking to me boy
- Porra tens que me deixar “remixar” pelo menos 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By that I mean, place some vocal ideas… and you may put it out whenever you see fit after you have followed your initial plan!!!!!!!!! What do you say?

Of course I said “Yes”. The result will be now on plain sight.

Let me be VERY CLEAR, these songs - if I may call them such things - had absolutely no need for my words and voice. I needed them...

When I first heard Diogo's DUN DUN, I had the feeling that that's exactly what pop music should be sounding like right now! There was an intensity, an organized fragmentation of intentions, and a hint of a "fuck it" kind of celebration. I wanted to be part of it...

Both the lyrical content and the delivery of these words and melodies are a gathering of visions within a disturbing scenario. Imagine if you were invited to sing, while a diarrhea outbreak is happening, in real time, all around you. You will shit your own pants today. There's no escaping it... You've got a gun pointed at your face, and you are rudely demanded to sing or die. How do you find and nurture dignity in such a predicament? Pop at its finest, if you ask me...

"... I judge my friends./ is it because there's a crack in my relationship with a good God? ..."

"... I wish I'd feel the taste/I wish it would not go to waste ... it ain't about love, honey... we are trading love for trust ..."

"... Get them/ ... they've abandoned the muse/ there comes space for abuse ..."
