German electronic act BUNT deliver party-friendly dance jams that honor the spirit of the late Avicii and channel the early material of funky forebears Justice, Basement Jaxx, and Calvin Harris Debuting in the mid-2010s, the duo expanded their Avicii-esque folk-house sound by incorporating horns, banjos, and fiddles, and drawing from soul, pop, and Latin music BUNT's most well-known songs include "Unbreakable" (featuring Clarence Coffee, Jr) and "Crocodile Tears" (with Jens Hult)Hailing from Stuttgart, BUNT was formed by Levi Wijk and Nico Crispin, high school friends who teamed up at the age of 16 to craft dance anthems inspired by Swedish House Mafia Taking SHM's propulsive festival house approach and enriching it with folksy elements like banjos and harmonicas, they adopted a style strikingly similar to Avicii's on early tracks such as 2014's "Journey" and "Harmonica" BUNT
