Porn Kings
The Porn Kings were a British dance music group, originally formed by Davy T, Paul Rowland, and Dan Evans.
Davy and Dan were members of 2 Funky 2, best known for the 1993 hit "Brothers and Sisters". Davy was also a member of DJs Collective alongside Lee Butler, Paul Robertson, and Joe Da Bone, who were best known for the 1996 single "Rock to the Rhythm". Some vinyl copies were scratched out due to a fallout between Davy and Lee.
The group's first single was released as a white label called "Pumping the Junk". It featured an original sample from Josh Wink's "Higher State of Consciousness". The track was picked up very quickly by All Around the World Productions, where it was reworked and renamed "Up to No Good" in 1996.
The debut release became a hit in Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. The band released the album Up to No Good in 1999, recorded at P. K. Studios and PWL in Manchester, England. They also produced remixes for DJ Quicksilver, Young MC, Josh Wink, and Pamela Fernandez. Their track "We're Watching You" was included on the soundtrack of the 2001 film The Hole, starring Thora Birch and Keira Knightley.
Kenny Hayes joined the group to help write the second single and the group's debut album.
Further UK hits included "Amour (C'Mon)", "Up to the Wildstyle", "Sledger", and "Shake Ya Shimmy".
