dunst "odéur"
Sounds from the queer underground
Compilation CD on Useless Salvation

Useless salvation, the Danish cutting edge label that brought you Geeza, releases first compilation album from Danish queer underground movement dunst.

dunst is, to say the least, notorious for their outrageous all night-dancefloor trash-drag performances. Since the beginning in 2001, their highly visual , provocative and entertaining shows have blown the tops of ecstatic crowds all over Europe.

The past four years dunst has made numeouros parties and events. E.g. poppers and darkroom party in a sightseeing bus with DJ. Bondage party at the HQ of danish boy scouts, co-arranged COMA party feat. KLF and the ultimate queer contest Mr & Mrs dunst.
Abroad dunst has thrown a number of parties in Stockholm, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Berlin, latest at the new year homophobia event with Snax of Captain Comatose.

This compilation gathers the best tracks produced for these events.
The sounds are a vivid and innovative cocktail of contemporary underground and popular styles ranging from indie, electronica, electro, punk to disco….
Even though every artist has an individual style, the music is connected by the same nerve. It comes from an innermost wish to express a personal approach to queer lifestyle, identity, sex madness and the right to exist. These performances smell of what they are, hence the title odeur.
The looks and trash drag performances by dunst are highly unique, and have been compared to legends like leigh Bowery, Divine, Boy George, Dead Or Alive, Minty and Sylvester.
