Normally I would come up with such a smashing intro about the artists that all of you dear readers feel like reading the whole damn interview. Well...I am not gonna do that today with Ninjasonik, I am just gonna say what popmontreal.com said (the truth!):
"Ninjasonik are tha future. Jah Jah's the punk, Telli's the rapper, and Teenwolf keeps the beat spinning. Easy to love hard to hate (unless you're a hater), Ninjasonik come from a place of pure adulation for what they get to do and the good people they get to do it with. Rhythms and synths so filthy they make songs about pregnancy, aids, and tight pants seem like odes to the dancefloor and the company of friends. You already know!" -popmontreal.com
