DECENNIUM15 - Adapta (Frustrated Funk)

The 15th edition of our DECENNIUM series comes courtesy of the mastermind Steve Conner, aka Adapta (Frustrated Funk).

Amongst the discerning heads in the underground electronic scene, Steve has gained almost mythical stature due to his unique, twisted style and productions of the highest quality, releasing as Adapta since around 2011 and much earlier as one half of Bitstream since around 1999, with his Brother Dave Conner.

Adapta is well known for being one of the key artists on Frustrated Funk, a label of royal importance in the Electro world, for which he has released a string of records since around 2016. As Bitstream Steve has had numerous achievements and releases on heavyweight labels such as Frustrated Funk, Signal Recordings, Touchin' Bass and notable claims to fame with Modern Love's first ever release and a remix for the mighty Depeche Mode.

Adapta and Bitstream have performed their forward thinking live sets all across Europe and we were honoured to have Steve play for Natural Selection at FOLD as Adapta in March 2019, alongside Claro Intelecto, Sterac, dynArec, Antigone and our co-founders Kodah and Funk Ethics. This was one of the most memorable events in our history and we can't wait to have Steve back in future.

We knew Steve's exclusive set for our DECENNIUM series would be a special one and he has not let us down with this recreation of his FOLD set from back then, which is one of the most well informed selections we have ever heard.

Further information: bleep.com/features/bleep-mix-164-Steve-Davis-and-Kavus-Torabi

Former prog columnist and World Snooker champion Steve Davis joins his Utopia Strong collaborator Kavus Torabi (Gong, Knifeworld) for a blinder of a Bleep exclusive mix full of little-known and would-be prog classics, with nary a nod to well-trodden ground. The tone of the hour is one of ebbing and flowing forces; beginning with the tentative modular synthesis of Peter Frohmader’s ‘Spiral’ and the raga-esque melodies of Hama’s ‘Ataraghine’, the undercurrent of rhythms reaches its peak with the heavy, Neu!-flavoured space rock of ‘Underglass’ by OLD and some liquid Frippertronics from French cult legends Heldon.
