Roel Funcken ()

Roel Funcken officially popped up on the scene in 2010, with his solo debut, titled Vade, out on Ad Noiseam. But fans of electronic music, and IDM in general, have been tracking this Dutch musician for over a decade prior, on such labels as Funcken Industry, Outside Recordings, Schematic, Eat Concrete, aD Noiseam, ShipWrec, Tympanik Audio Combat Recording, Analogical Force, Igloomag, Headphone Commutes, Data.Wave, A strangely isolated place...

Roel Funcken proves to be a master of technoid, bass heavy and intelligent dance music that defies any genre. His ambient textures maintain a cinematic quality throughout, while his percussive arrangements retain a constantly mutating framework, always reconstructing its rhythm and structure, contradicting complex configurations and minimal design. It's always a pleasure to taste the latest treat from this aural engineer, and find the latest gem in his never-ending arsenal of sound.
