Funk D'Void (Outpost, Soma / UK)

Lars Sandberg AKA Funk D'Void, is a DJ and producer who has been involved in the global electronic music scene since the mid-90s. He started Djing at around the tender age of 15, running two under-18 clubs himself – a perfect start to his career. House music changed his life, the early Chicago sound specifically, and hearing the certain sounds during his childhood stirred something inside him; the 808 drum machine used on Marvin Gaye's “Sexual Healing” secured his fascination with these electronic sounds – the turning point over to the Detroit techno sound was almost a spiritual moment as it forged his unique sound that would follow over the coming years – visceral, soulful and without compromise. 

After a string of hits over the years (“Jack Me Off”, “Bad Coffee” “Emotional Content”) plus some killer remixes for the likes of Underworld, New Order and Kevin Saunderson, he is probably best known for the end-of-nighter 'Diabla' which bridged house and techno (and was flogged by everyone from Danny Howells to Sven Vath). Collaborations with such luminaries as Phil Kieran and more recently Sian have produced stellar results - further galvanising his diversity in the techno arena and has led us to the somewhat overdue arrival of his own personal label, Outpost. Much in demand DJ and critically acclaimed producer, his Djing style is everything you expect a true music lover’s taste to be: he is comfortable and adept at moving any dancefloor, the proof being that he is one of the busiest Djs on the circuit today, and has been for the last 15 years.

Funk D'Void @ Moog (2013_01_09)

"We’d thought our last evening in Barcelona was going to be a musical blunder. The events throughout the city were less than appealing, and we were left wandering around aimlessly for a good portion of the evening; until we found our way by disregarding every lesson we ever learned as toddlers"

"Past 3am local time, our options were scant, so we walked down one of the most hostile corridors in all of Europe, Barcelona’s Las Ramblas, rampant with some of the most terrifying creatures of the night. A quick right down some grim alleyway, and there it was — Moog. From the outside, nothing more than rotting stucco, a small congregation of degenerates and random gypsies selling cans of beer. We paid the fare for entrance, descended into the seizure inciting strobes, and ultimately discovered an acid haven that any techno fan would have crowned king"

"If the world does in fact end today, I can sign off as a truly satisfied enthusiast of techno music"
