'Never Been' is the first collaborative release by @loradeniz and @interstellarfunk, a five-track record coming to Amsterdam's @artificialdance this January.

‘Freefall’ opens with crystalline melodies and a brooding bassline, intensified by racing hi-hats and a dominant topline.

Premiere: Interstellar Funk & Loradeniz 'Freefall'

40 mixes in and the Off The Record series has seen a wide spanning in range of artists and styles. Its dug deep into DJ's record bags and has let us hear some of their holiest gems. Our 40th mix comes from one of the most solid selectors Amsterdam has to offer; Olf van Elden aka Interstellar Funk. 
Having started off working at the Dutch institution that is Rush Hour Records as a label manager and playing sets year in and year out at the monumental Dekmantel, Interstellar Funk has taken himself worldwide as well as releasing records on labels like L.I.E.S, Berceuse Heroique, Rush Hour, Dekmantel along with his own Artificial Dance label. A label he has run with a keen ear since 2017 releasing artists like Genetic Factor, June, Black Merlin and more. 
For Off The Record 40 Interstellar Funk takes us in the realms of home and club listening with a well crafted mix that builds and warms us into the floor beautifully. We had a chat with the artist about the mix and about what he has going on:

Eelco's Electro Mixtape Vol. 45

Interstellar Funk - 17 May 2025

Interstellar Funk - 05 July 2025

Eelco’s taste in music has always been eclectic. He has been passionate about music from an early age, drawn to a wide range of sounds, from indie, rock, metal, jazz to hip-hop and drum & bass. But everything changed when he experienced his first AWAKENINGS techno party in Amsterdam over 20 years ago. That day, he had an epiphany! The pulsating energy, the hypnotic rhythms they were a calling.
From that moment on, he became addicted to the raw, driving force of Techno and Electro.
"The first time I stepped into a warehouse and FELT that hard bass, those hissing  sharp hi-hats, and the deep, hypnotic groove of proper Techno, I knew I had come home!"
Ever since then he wanted to share his unrelenting passion for TECHNO with the world!

Eelco自年少时就开始沉迷在音乐的世界当中，与许多Techno DJ一样，他有着自己不拘一格的品味，从金属到爵士，再到古典和鼓打贝斯等。20年前第一次参加Techno派对时，他感受到一种前所未有的顿悟，以至于不可自拔地爱上了这种声音。Techno与Electro是他最喜爱的音乐风格。
“当我第一次走进被低音填满的仓库，尖锐的镲声与令人着迷的Techno之声，我知道自已经回家了，我希望用我纯粹的热情来传播这特有的Techno之声！”
