Interstellar Funk

We’re pleased to welcome reputed musician, selector, and tireless seeker of underground music, Interstellar Funk. A key figure in the Dutch scene, he’s joined forces with well-known initiatives Rush Hour, Dekmantel, and Red Light Radio. He now runs his own record label, Artificial Dance, which has quickly gained momentum both thanks to his dedication to unearthing old gems and to releasing forward-thinking contemporary dance music. No stranger to production himself, Olf lives up to his moniker through his own distinct productions, in which he lets his passion for analogue gear and futuristic sonic journeys come to life. We look forward to seeing what the future has in store for this bold label and artist, as well as to his anticipated forthcoming debut LP.

INTERVIEW & TRACKLIST

Endless Illusion Mix #42 | Interstellar Funk

The Netherlands has no shortage of celebrated DJs and producers, but now it is time to shine a light on one that is deserving of a much wider audience. Amsterdam’s Interstellar Funk is a young record hound and talented producer who loves real melody in his music. He releases on (and works at) Rush Hour and has put his textured sounds out on his own Tape Records label - it ranges from slow and absorbing to more urgent and physical, and his DJ sets are just as brave and far reaching. 

As a former Trouw resident, Interstellar Funk reaches far and wide for the records that make up his DJ sets. This tight one hour selection proves that as it transitions through cosmic melodic jams to corrugated electro and deep acid house. It makes for a mix that operates in a rich synth galaxy full of space dust and retro-future nostalgia. So, enjoy his absorbing mix and then get ready for his debut track on the Dekmantel label, a contribution to the Patta x Dekmantel compilation.

This recording is from a very special evening where we celebrated Ace & Tate’s 5th birthday from the basement of Red Light Radio’s new store. A 5 hour listening session took place in which we asked 5 artists to select records for an hour each. The setting was extremely personal – guests sat cross-legged just a few feet away from the DJs and listened to the session through Red Light Radio’s fantastic Klipschorn speakers. What they got to experience was truly magical. 

Do sit back and enjoy these uniquely special trips into some weird and wonderful realms of music we’re not always given the chance to explore. 

We hope you enjoy these as much as we do. 

Thank you to all the artists, and to Red Light Radio for having us in their lovely new home.

To kick things off, the Amsterdam-based Interstellar Funk takes us through a series of cuts that are hard to place – at times cosmic and wave sounding, there’s a distinct industrial feel to his set. We get to hear hypnotic minimal synth ventures, tribal drums, disembodied guitars and haunting vocals. It’s a listen that is at times tense, but totally enthralling.

Back with a new EP for Jennifer Cardini and Noura Labbani's @dischiautunno, Marseilles-via-London based producer @abstraxion heads for a darker rhythmic vein this time, serving up a pair of steadfast, EBM-infused electroid rollers supported by two revamps from ace floor transgressors Black Merlin and @interstellarfunk - both crisply hitting the mark.

Here is the recording of my set at Rural Festival in Nagano, Japan. Its a magical festival located on top of a mountain with the most beautiful surrounding. I played an early Sunday afternoon set after a wonderful ambient set by Chris SSG.

Gorgeous synthwave music and sci-fi-esque backdrops, layered with hard-hitting drum patterns.

Still independent. Help us keep it that way: crackm.ag/support
