Delta Funktionen - CHAØS Festival, Athens Greece 2021-12-04

Futuristic electronics by Niels Luinenburg (Delta Funktionen) under his new guise Immediate Proximity - in collab with Diana Napirelly. Ambient, Bass, Electro and Techno are the main identifiers for their output. Deep and emotive is the mood, but at the same time the music is playful and has a robust and confident character. This distinct direction, which was laid-out on the pair's debut LP '2334', has now led to the start of their own label: IMPROX - on which they'll release a series of EPs.

On IMPROX, the duo experiments vivaciously with color, rhythm, space and tempo. Hi-tech, yet tribalistic rhythms are interlaced with elusive sci-fi themes. Big stage anthems are comfortably combined with cinematic ambient excursions. And through self engineered audio-gen modules, backed by a stark focus on sound design, the IMPROX series marks a powerful upgrade to Luinenburg's production capabilities.

All IMPROX releases are pressed on white vinyl with black label. Additional artwork will be added by hand. Personally pressed at Deepgrooves Vinyl Pressing Plant. Distribution via Clone and the Radio Matrix Bandcamp. IMPROX is a sub label of Radio Matrix.

Immediate Proximity is available for DJ sets. A live show is currently being developed and is set to be ready in the second half of 2023.

IMPROX 1 - STAR MAP

The second release in the IMPROX series features two powerful and archetypal tracks that serve as the central characters of this captivating EP. Both tracks exude a fierce and piercing energy, ready to strike with unrelenting intensity. On the flipside, the stage is set for their ultimate battle, resulting in a clash of violent beats and crystalline otherworldly landscapes.

IMPROX 4: The Grand Cassette-astrophe

Rewind your expectations and fast-forward your ears, because Immediate Proximity - Niels Luinenburg (Delta Funktionen) and Diana Napirelly - are unleashing their fourth IMPROX release, a gloriously unhinged beast landing on digital platforms and gritty cassette tape. IMPROX 4 isn’t just a release; it’s the full-on DIY culmination of their three prior expeditions into the wildlands of futuristic electronics. Think of it as the trilogy’s epic finale—except, you know, with four parts, because who’s counting?

This time, the duo’s throwing everything into the mix like mad scientists at a cosmic rave. Picture this: the tribalistic hi-tech grooves of IMPROX 1, the unrelenting beat-brawls of IMPROX 2, and the nano-melody mutations of IMPROX 3, everything’s here - resequenced into a quirky, unpredictable flow that’ll keep your brain guessing and your speakers sweating. It’s deep, it's at times intimate, it's emotive, and it’s got the kind of truculence that only comes from two sonic pioneers saying, “Yeah, we built this with our bare hands—and maybe a soldering iron.” Big-stage anthems collide with crystalline soundscapes, breakbeats wrestle with microscopic rhythms, and somewhere in there, a cassette tape rewinds itself in sheer disbelief.

With their self-engineered audio-gen modules cranked to eleven, Immediate Proximity delivers a release that’s as much a victory lap as it is a victory leap - straight into uncharted territory where tempo twists, space expands, and your speakers might just file for overtime. Available digitally for the streaming masses and on cassette for the hipsters who still own a Walkman, IMPROX 4 is the ultimate proof that Luinenburg and Napirelly aren’t just pushing boundaries - they’re breakdancing on them.

So, plug in, press play, and let this honest-to-goodness ear-abductor take you for a ride. Spoiler: it’s a one-way ticket, and the snacks are all-you-can-eat beats.

Bandcamp Exclusive

IMPROX 4 - PREVIEW

Delta Funktionen returns from a 5-year hiatus with a fiery new EP on his own Radio Matrix label. Four powerful, yet deep and somewhat dubby cuts that perfectly balance techno and stronger house. With this new EP, Delta proves he's a unique voice in the world of electronic music, one who maintains consistent quality in his output while being very diverse in his sound palette. The music is often straightforward, though there's still plenty of depth to be found. It's serious, yet very playful. It's grounded, but also very spacey. And all is presented in very solid mixdowns. All these ingredients combined make this an EP that will fit perfectly into the DJ bags of the true DJ soldiers.

Mastering by Dave Miller at Audiosculpture ~ Subterra Studios
