Please give BinaryFunction an especially warm welcome to Compatible Music Radio. Making his first appearance, the Manchester-based selector delivers a 60-minute all-vinyl trip steeped in acid breaks, electro, breakbeat and electronica.

Known across the UK underground for unearthing rare pressings, he keeps the needles locked on pulse-driving grooves—razor-edged electro funk, bass-forward breakbeat and rave-tinted acid rollers—each blend showcasing why a BinaryFunction vinyl set is always special. It’s a fitting catch-up after his 2018 Compatible release “Primary Slave,” refreshing ties with the label and crew. We’re thrilled to have him join the Compatible family.

UK-based producer and DJ, BinaryFunction, is no novice to the scene. 
Moving on from Manchester, he relocated to the island of Mauritius in 1991, where he lived for 12 years. He began producing music from 1995 onwards, and took part in a DMC competition coming first. He began DJ’ing on the island of Mauritius the minute he arrived and quickly built a reputation as the first underground DJ on the island. His Acid House influences took over and he began DJing in most of the islands biggest clubs, leading him to warm up for French legend Laurent Garnier in 1998 on the neighbouring island Reunion. Since 2004 BinaryFunction returned to his hometown of Manchester and has been honing his production craft and DJing skills, waiting for the opportune moment to release his music.
BinaryFunction has recently graduated from Mathew Jonson's Freedom Engine Academy.
