Galactic Funk co-founder Bertram lands on Dead Channel with his debut EP Kibra Cadena. Literally translated as ‘break chains’ in Aruban creole, and broadly referencing the breaking of colonial chains of imperial oppression, this six track EP of tense, brooding rhythms is driven and gritty. Spanning mutated psychedelic dub, Giallo-tinged cinematix, frenzied insidious acid, and methodically churning crispers, this stunning work is singular in its execution and focused in its vision. Visceral, heady, and relentless, this dark, genre-defying gem is a tour de force in sonic mastery.

Releases on limited cassette and digital March 18, 2022.

Bertram - The Last Sound You'll Ever Hear [DC014] (Snippet)

Born in Stuttgart, Germany, grew up in Oslo, Norway in the 80's -  listening to the likes Men At Work & Kraftwerk. Shipped off to the U.S. in 1985.  Christian started Dj'ing at the age of 15 circa 1989, playing his way into clubs and rave parties.  Soon he found himself organizing events which would draw 1000's dancing until sunrise. Taking hiatus around 2000 to raise a family, Christian brings his experience back to the decks of today.

À la recherche de dates ! / Searching for some gigs !

Music maker, procedant sur machines (Synthé, groovebox, sampler), Auto/Car fabrique minutieusement des morceaux d’IDM, hypnotisants, nostalgiques, lunaires, lourds et legers, parfois sombre, parfois brillants, ou les deux à la fois, inspiré principalement par Amon Tobin, Aphex Twin ou encore Dan Deacon, Beck, GnG.

Musicien, pratiquant la M.A.O., la basse et la guitare depuis des temps anciens, il est passé sur machines pendant un long confinement, et après la perte douloureuse d’un ordinateur. S’en est suivi une période de création intense pour aboutir, après quelques mois, à un premier live.
Depuis, il consacre la majeur partie de son temps à la musqiue.

Musician, using computer, bass and guitar since a long long time ago, he cames to use music machines during a long lockdown, and since its computer break down. Then there was a period of intense creation for playing, after a few months, a first gig.
He uses, since, the most of his time to create and play music.
