Funkst?rung - Rosenheim, Germany - K7! - 90-minute live PA
The duo of Michael Fakesch and Chris De Luca first made acquaintance at a
techno nightclub in their hometown of Rosenheim, Germany. Their first six
records produced were recorded under the moniker Musik Aus Strom and
consisted of distorted Techno tracks released by the Dutch labels Bunker and
Acid Planet run by techno legend Unit Moebius. After redefining their
approach and sound they settled on a new name, Funkst?rung, which translates
to "Radio (Funk) Interference (St?rung) in their native German tongue.
Having released dozens of singles and with remixes of everyone from Wu-Tang
Clan and East Flatbush Project to Bj?rk and Plaid to their credit,
Funkst?rung has gained great international cult notoriety in music circles
all over the world. They have collaborated with the likes of DMC World
Champion DJ Craze and labels such as Chocolate Industries, I-F, MASK (a
collaboration between Skam and Musik Aus Strom), and Compost have released
12"s to much acclaim and critical praise. Their complex song arrangements
often consist of over 400 different sounds and effects which the New York
Times described as "sparse, brittle, nearly atonal tracks (made) out of
blips, static, buzzes, snippets of distorted sound and stray sampled voice",
although they may be better characterized by their innate ability to mesh
the crunchiest hip-hop and fractured beats with a delicate blend of
melancholic knob-twiddling samples and warm synth tones to match. In
describing the recent release of "Additional Productions", Spin Magazine
might have put it best when stating, "Funkst?rung makes static sexy again."
