Booster Shot

Recorded in the early morning at CHAØS Festival, a project from Temple Athens & Cosmonauts Athens. Held in the Athens Conservatory on the 4th of December 2021.

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 3

IMPROX 3 - PREVIEW

Hello children, for this year's excursion we have organised a fantastic trip: a one week journey to The Parallel World! A world where its leaders decided to go back in time rather than moving forward. It will be a mind bending excursion. It will be great. We will ignite the Delta Craft torpedoes next Tuesday 8am sharp and leave one hour later with warp drive towards The Parallel World. We shall experience the power of at least 17 trillion Frisian horses, can you possibly imagine?

Once we have arrived, you can choose from one of these three activities: 

1) Take part in a sting operation where you will be able to sneak into the offices of the corrupted leaders. Detect their intrusions, scams, lies and all other highly dubious activities they’re infamous for. 

2) Participate yourself into these scams and become part of the classified sector. Explore first hand if this line of work applies to your ambitions.

3) For those of you who already gave up on humans, there’s the chance to take care of the last surviving animal; the hyena!

Isn’t it exciting? So kids, take a good rest and prepare yourself for an amazing journey to The Parallel World!

==============================

After the analog-retro-MS-Dos spirit of the 2015 Wasteland project, Delta Funktionen returns with a new journey directly forward to - or from - the parallel world!? Presented on 2x12" inches on his own Radio Matrix imprint, it sees Niels Luinenburg handling his trademark techno-electro sound: strong beats combined with futuristic sounds and atmospheres. Whether the beats are broken or straight up four to the floor, the atmosphere always has the vibe of an interstellar journey and a melancholy of longing for better worlds. Where the tracks on the first disc focus on lush melodies on top of rounded grooves, the second disc sees a more rough and somewhat abstract side of Delta Funktionen.

Release set somewhere in June 2017 on Radio Matrix on 2x12" inch.
Distribution by Clone.
