The long-running Kompakt imprint will release an EP by German DJ and producer Sascha Funke in September. Sharing five tracks that traverse quirky house and techno, Treets marks Funke’s monumental return to Kompakt since his Zug um Zug two-tracker in 2014.

Speaking about Treets, Funke says he is "very happy to be back on the mothership Kompakt" after an eight-year break. As one would expect with Funke, the EP fits the cosmic world of Kompakt to a tee. The title track conveys a weird, tripped-out atmosphere as an alien-like vocal burbles between an acid bassline and squeaky percussion. It's a tantalising glimpse of Funke's freaky underworld. E_Plus follows a similar wonked-out vein, only this time, the vibe is ominous. Funke pairs an orchestral vocal with bleepy pads and signature acid-drenched melody — a solid offering oddball of energy. On Alles Paletti, a 2-step drum pattern and string of bright claps create a sunny soundscape, complemented by a robust bassline and ethereal synth notes. It's fairytale house music, the kind only Funke can produce. The penultimate track Haus More is subdued, as chugging drums slither between a wobbly melody. The Other Version feels futuristic, as Funke goes full-force electro. Extra-terrestrial vocals return, but the pace is cranked up by strident sound FX and thudding drums. An eccentric end to an eccentric EP.

Sascha Funke is a Berlin-based producer and DJ with two decades' worth of releases building his back catalogue. BPitch Control, Turbo Recordings, Endless Flight, Running Back, and several more esteemed imprints have released his work. Today, he continues to create sleek sounds that weave various genres from house, techno, disco, Krautrock, wave, electro and unclassified anomalies. As a DJ, Funke is just as free-wheeling as his productions. He's played E1 in London, Caos in São Paulo and Renate in Berlin, amongst others, displaying his sweeping sound to a worldwide audience. Having been exposed to euro-dance pop as a youngster, you can hear flashes from the genre stitched throughout his work but blended in a way that's quintessential to Funke. Never one to change his sound according to the latest trend, Funke stays true to his creative vision — one of the most significant challenges for producers today.

Sascha Funke - Treets (Kompakt 449)

Summer's gone for sure but why not get back a bit of that summer feeling by having a delicious lemonade fizz? Frank Music label head honcho Johannes Albert comes to the rescue with four splendid recipes.

Lets start right away with »Lemonade Fizz« where Johannes manages to put the ingredients needed for refreshment just in the right balance: Glasses clink while the bass drum pays a slight homage to Manchester's all-time heroes New Order and dancers are driven straight to the floor again by that menacing yet subtle siren.

Listening to »Dorschd« aka thirst feels exactly like the title suggests: You're on the floor, dancing, sweating and desperately yearning for a drink: You want more and you can't stop drinking as soon as you've put that glass to your mouth - yet this yearning feeling stays with you while getting back on the floor.

»Wimbledon« is pure enthusiasm. Johannes dominates the game like no one else. It's fast and cheery building up to a rousing climax: Game, set and match.

After such highs it feels just right to join Johannes for »Laurenzi Blues«, the melancholic wistful closing track of this beautiful 4-track EP - Johannes Albert's first for LARJ - but hopefully not his last.

Now let's have another drink.

Studiodue Future - Mixed by Lorenzo LSP

Italian artists I-Robots and Lorenzo LSP have put together two new mixes inspired by the legendary Turin club Studiodue, at which they were residents back in the 80s. The mixes feature an array of timeless deeptechno and eclectic electronic sounds from I-Robots' Opilec Music label, as well as one of his new and exclusive remixes.  Gianluca Pandullo, aka I-Robots, was a resident at the club - formerly a vintage cinema - from the late 80s until 1993 when it closed forever. At that time, Lorenzo LSP was also a DJ and one of the key party promoters. The club first opened in 1979 and soon became internationally renowned for its club nights, live concerts and events. It had a proudly eclectic sound that took in everything from disco, new wave, rare groove, acid, new beat and house to rock, hip hop, acid jazz, reggae, ska and dub.

The club was a foundational space for many in the city, championing black music and providing a safe space for people from the LGBTQ+ community. As a result, Studiodue became home to many vital promotions such as Lorenzo LSP (Latin Superb Posse)’s PopPlanet, House Train, Double Face and the I-Robots’ Sound Of Blackness Thursday. Over the years, many international stars visited, such as Ice-T, Todd Terry, Paul Weller, Frankie Knuckles,DJ Cash Money, Norman Jay, Pete Heller & Terry Farley, David Morales, Desmond Dekker and many more.

Studiodue helped shape several artists, including Lorenzo LSP and I-Robots, which is why the latter conceived this project and his Opilec Music label to mix up past and present influences and take them into the “Future”. 

The mix from Lorenzo LSP is also dancefloor facing, with Italo melodies lighting up the sleek techno and retro electro. There are peak time passages with chunky drum funk and moments of richly soulful techno, all masterfully mixed and sequenced. Tunes from François K, Schaltkreis Wassermann, No More, Gene Hunt, James Kumo and I-Robots make this a serious selection.

These two mixes are a perfect homage to one of Italy's most vital but sorely missed clubs.

"Ah, John Noi (aka Style of Sound) the smooth-accented purveyor of the unusual. Since meeting John, I have flattered barmaids who were once, albeit not quite, much famed models in the panda-eyed 60s; drunk eye-crunchingly strong liquor from a hip flask, subjected myself to his mixes on Sexy Dinosaur From Outer Space and Disco Suicide, not to mention dancing the night away in hidden away dance clubs with revolving dance floors. London certainly takes a fluorescent shade when you're hot-footing the nightspots with John."

Sascha Funke - Treets

Mexico City-born, Joze Arce aka Jocan Dekä (1985) is a DJ/Producer with more than 15 years of experience in the local underground scene, becoming one of the most versatile DJs of his generation. Since the beginning of his career, he learned how to break down the preconceptions and patterns used by conventional DJs, always trying to create mixes that can be differentiated from others on the stage.

He has established House & Techno roots, but his vast influences allow him to flirt with a wide range of genres such as Downtempo, Ambient, Electronica, Lo-Fi, and even Funk, Nu Disco, Afro, also reaching Bass Music, Footwork, Drum & Bass and ending up with Experimental music. His great skills for combining genres and expertise on how to mix them all together have defined his work, allowing him to play in most of the emblematic clubs within the underground electronic music scene throughout the country as well as in Mexico City’s signature club scene. 

2014 was a breakthrough year for a bright future; he was chosen to be a part of Boiler Room’s Ballantine’s Journeys #StayTrue in Mexico City, a global event hosted in the most representative cities regarding the world’s electronic scene. Also, during this year, he was awarded in the category of Best Techno DJ in the DJ World Music Conference, an event that takes place in the Mexican capital city.

In 2016, he became part of the SUNDANCE movement, a project that is leading the DJing world to the next level, both physical and spiritual, influenced by the #EcstaticDance movement. This idea originated in Hawaii & Portland, quickly expanding across the Globe, creating a new Yogi scene from the Dancing Music point of view.

João Braga, also known as JGB , was born and raised in Niterói. He began producing his music with no particular intention, simply as a way to express his momentary feelings. Currently, he seeks the "deconstruction" of environments in his productions. Intense loops and somber soundscapes are key elements of his music.

Incorporating both analog and digital equipment in his productions, he usually records his creations live on a multi-track tape recorder. He believes that limitations, to some extent, can help achieve more direct and concrete ideas in his "jams."

JGB  is a solo project but engages in collaborations with other artists. He has participated in various projects, such as the TRAFO project with Alex Sheeny, producing music with Ak Thunder, among others.
