Talking about Dj/producer, there is the one who are only excellent behind hardware producing electronic gems and there is others who feels more comfortable behind turntables with a records collection to share. Sascha Funke excellently gathers these two skills. Back in 2011, he electrified La dame Noir Dancing all night long with an hypnotic set. "Mango", "Ey", "Safety First", remixes for Noze, Superpitcher and more recently "Alles In Allem" are classic pieces of electronic music at its finest.
I, for one, first heard about Sascha around 2006 when I was spending a lot of time through the internet looking for new music … I remember this "catchy" cover compilation shot by Axl Jansen for the Boogybytes vol 2 (BPitch Control) mixed by Sascha Funke which brought me to Sascha's universe... where I heard 72 minutes of emotional and trippy techno.
After a bunch of excellents EP for Kompakt, BPitch and a beautiful project with his partner in
The first one gathers four new hypnotic tracks between haunted house and deep krautrock.
The second is the perfect "reaction" to the first one and offers another original composition : the totally psychedelic "In Reaktionen" plus remixes for Relationen by Kasper Bjorke, Autarkic and Crowdpleaser.
So now, I let you enjoy a playlist of ten "all time" rave classics selected and commentated by Sascha Funke, have a good listening...
1- Tune - "Change The Beat“
Old classic from R & S Records with the typical submarine sound you can hear in many tracks from that period.
2- DJ Edge - "Compnded"
One of my favorite labels at that time. I bought all of them. The sublabel Rabbit City Records was fantastic too.
3- Love Inc. - "R.E.S.P.E.C.T".
Mike Ink aka Wolfgang Voigt in his element on beautiful colored vinyl. Force inc. used to be the most important German label.
4- THK - "France" (Mars Mix)
I would call it trance house. I listened to that track in every club in Berlin around 1992/93.
5- Marmion - "Schöneberg" (Kid Paul Remix)
A real Berlin anthem. Kid Paul was one of the best DJs in town, unfortunately he stopped his career too early.
6- Brainstorm - "TZ9"
I played it lately in my podcast for Trax Magazine. Sounds still young and fresh to me.
7- C.Y.B. - "Now"
Something from Italy. The label UMM released many commercial tracks but sometimes you could found some good music.
8- Edge of Motion - "Set up 707"
One of the first records I bought at Hardwax. This is what acid music is for me.
9- Modular Expansions Unit 1 - "Cubes"
Another record from Belgium. It was the leading country for electronic music at that time.
10- Caustic Window - "Cordialatron"
An early alter ego of Aphex Twin. There is a breakbeat version of „Popcorn“ on the flipside.
