Support our new album on Kickstarter!

We are ready to record a NEW ALBUM!

...But we can't do it without your help!

We still have a lot of fundraising to do in order to make the project happen! That's why we made this really awesome PLANET RUMP KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN to help get the word out about the album and our fundraising goals!

Check out our AWESOME video that features cameos from members of fellow electro bands Great Tiger, Tayisha Busay, and Vinyl Life!  Get a load of all the crafty rewards we are giving out for each donation level! You'll even get to meet our guest artist Chris Mulligan and take a tour of Butcha Sound Studios where the magic will happen! To get a taste of the new music to come on the album, check out our single Daydreams.

If you're as excited about this project as we are, please help us spread the word to anyone you know who may be interested in supporting! All we want for Christmas this year is the chance to record some solid gold for all you good people :)

We'll keep you updated on our progress and hope to see you again soon!

New single "Daydreams" out now for free download!

Daydreams by Planet Rump

Fresh from the depths of Brooklyn's underground: Planet Rump presents a new hyper electro banger Daydreams [free download]! Lots of synths and breakbeats to keep you amped on this one with tasty vocals from Miss Strawberry and contributions from Sherm Sherm. Made with the help of Emmy-nominated mixing engineer Joe Colmenero and mastering help from international producer Jeffrey Swart. A prelude of what is to come from Planet Rump in 2012!!

Saturday show just announced!

Hey rump-shakers, good news! We just got asked to perform live this Saturday at Cafe Orwell (247 Varet St in Bush-burg). Another Disco Mike production, this show will most definitely get hot and sweaty real quick! Come check out our brand-new live set, which now combines our original dance jams with our fun-loving DJ set! It's a non-stop body-rocking booty odyssey, so come rejoice! We hit the stage at 9pm. See you on the dancefloor!

Also, video and photos from Tuesday's rager at Fat Baby coming soon, but until then, here are some stills to get a taste of the mayhem...

News flash from Planet Rump

Things are really starting to heat up here on Planet Rump. Freshly inspired and empowered by our mecca to Burning Man, our proverbial pot of water is on the brink of boiling and will soon be spilling over with tons of new music! We are days away from releasing our new single Daydreams, and soon we'll be getting back into the studio, recording and mixing our upcoming album due out in early 2012! In the meantime we'll be shooting the Daydreams music video and remixing tons of jams, delivering them straight to the dancefloor. We also have a few live and DJ gigs lined up (check the right column >> ). So stay tuned, we're about to serve up some brand-spankin-new funk for that rump!

Perpetual love to our community of artists, musicians, supporters and gurus: we couldn't do it without you.

Only 1 week left to support the Bio-Pop movement with Suspicious Package!

Emily & Ashlynn of Suspicious Package are FUNraising for a great project on Kickstarter. They are producing a video for their next Bio-Pop single, "Bird of Prey," featuring live falcons trained by Mike Dupuy, a raptor specialist. With infectious and inspiring music, these ladies are inviting us to dance and celebrate the vast and beautiful bio-diversity of Earth.

Check out their videos below and contribute what you can! Spread the word for a better world.

Suspicious Package's 1st Bio-Pop video, "Hummingbird"


Kickstarter video proposal for "Bird of Prey" video


From Emily of Suspicious Package:

Following your dreams takes determination, forward thinking, and humility. And sometimes it takes asking everyone you know to throw down a few bucks for the cause.

We only have 9 days left to FUNraise for creating a crucial Bio-Pop piece, and you can get neato prizes if you pledge some support. If you can even spare $5, it would mean so much to us in moving forward with our art and our dreams of Bio-Pop.
