There are very few as innovative and humble as Sascha Funke, a revered producer, disc jockey and all round gentleman. Since 1999 he has helped push electronic music forwards in more ways than he is perhaps accredited for. Releases on the likes of Kompakt, BPitch and Cadeux helped establish him as a reckonable force amidst a time in which dance music underwent an interesting transitional spell. His sound has evolved with age: exploring the roots between experimental electronics, minimal, house and ambient he has established himself as a figurehead for respectability and his recent output has continued to demonstrate this as such. Last year marked the release of a new album on Endless Flight and followed on from EP's on Multi Culti and Turbo. 

We are delighted to be able to feature him as part of our mix series, a warm favourite amidst the Ransom Note gang

Carlos Chávez (aka CHÁVEZ) is a DJ and music curator from the Canary Islands with more than 12 years of career and over 20,000 monthly listeners on SoundCloud. Long-time resident of Papagayo Beach Club, he has become one of the most recognised names in the islands’ electronic scene.

Carlos embraces two artistic identities within the same vision:

• Carlos Chávez — organic, melodic and sunset-driven sessions, focused on atmosphere, groove and emotional storytelling.
• CHÁVEZ — his club and underground alter ego, delivering dynamic, percussive and energetic sets crafted for the night and the dancefloor.

His sound blends refined technique, elegant selection and rhythmic sophistication, creating immersive environments that transport listeners across sunset, club and after-hours moments.

Founder of Soleá, his own artistic platform, and host on Balearica Music Radio, Carlos continues to expand his presence nationally and internationally with a distinctive style rooted in groove, identity and versatility.

Ransom Note is an online music, arts and culture magazine. We provide a home for readers and writers with boundless enthusiasm, esoteric knowledge, fierce opinions and impeccable taste.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.

Katz steht für tanzbare elektronische Musik. Der Bamberger DJ spielt einen wilden Mix aus Afro-Beats/Tech-House/Wave, der mit einer Prise Soul verfeinert wird. Rhythmus direkt vom Ohr in die Beine. Besonderen Wert legt die nachtaktive Katze auf eine harmonische Symbiose der verschiedenen Genre-Richtungen, damit die Tanzfläche der wichtigste Ort des Abends wird.
