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.

Roel Funcken, one half of Funckarma, just released a new album. It’s good. This track is in line with some of the Dubstoned EP work from the past two years — only Funcken brings the baroque, chromatic aspects to the forefront on this track. Yeah, some of you out there might be tired of the dubstep bpm these days. But I think it’s hard not to enjoy the swirling candy coating of the synth lines here….
