Off the new, 4th dubstoned EP, “Kopf” is essentially a triptych. The first part is classic acid machinery laid atop a minimal garage riddim. At 1:45, however, the claustrophobic swirling squelches go subterranean in preparation for shimmering, expansive synth chords that float, for a minute plus, nicely over that same percussion. At 3 minutes the acid and chromatic aspects are both brought to the foreground, blending the first two stages. I think this track has such a beautiful progression, albeit modest in its aims, that it works even without some of the more exploratory rhythm editing you come to expect from a solid Funcken bros. track.
