It’s been a long and diverse experience for Roel Funcken when it comes to music.

One constant throughout this journey has been his love for the decks and the people moving to them. As the youngest finalist of the DMC NL in the 80′s (age 13), he was pushing wax with some of the pioneers of the now global scene, feeding the floors back the enthusiasm he was feeling for the new music.

From the start of this life-long ambition Roel took his love for funk, jazz, hip hop etc and began applying his own unique take to the dj set, blending an eclectic love of sound with a cohesive form for the live venue. After years of production/live shows in the infamous Funckarma, a maze of other releases/projects, and drawing from his degree in Sonology, he forged a method for live dj work that is fiercely unique, impeccable in its sound quality, memorable and crowd energizing.

Roel has now moved to digital methods for mixing live, putting all his production/studio skill into creating versatile and dynamic sets that traverse genres and keep the sound fresh for today’s evolving dancefloor.

Having just released his first full length solo album "Vade" on Ad Noiseam records (home of Enduser, DJ Hidden etc) to critical acclaim he draws from a mix of his own work and the latest in Dubstep, Techno, Acid and DnB as the vectors for his sessions.

2010 forward is a fresh path for Roel, still maintaining his work with Funckarma but also taking his own vision to a new place. His recent sets at festivals and clubs across Europe attest to this new angle, and the packed floors resonate with his ability to move the crowds.

A microsite for the album Vade is up here, this url is soon becoming a full blown artist site, while a bio page at Funckarma serves up a production slant. Dig through the new funckarma.com for full release data.

Funckarma is the long standing project of Don and Roel Funcken, Dutch brothers notorious for their bass heavy groove filled IDM and experimental approach to all forms of electronic music. Since 1995 their prolific output under various names has found them homes on labels around the world, from Warp to n5md, Skam to !K7 and many more . Always forging new sounds in their constant sonic evolution, they’re breaking into the dubstep and DnB scenes as well, bringing their own unique form to these ever shifting landscapes while staying true to what built their fanbase .

Funckarma live is a spontaneous fusion of material from their amazingly broad catalogue of production sources. They feed the audience their infamous intense ground shaking moments as well as something minimalist and stripped, all in one smooth transition. This gives a totally unique perspective on the work, and guarantees a fresh set every time by providing a tremendous amount of freedom to its creation.

With their DJ sets they integrate music from other artists with their own. Genres mainly flow through dubstep, techno, acid and dnb but are not limited to these forms. he DJ sets are renowned for their approach using digital mixing and controllers enabling them to alter tracks into a new blend.

No matter which set they play, it’s all about bringing innovation and new dimensions of sound to the system by blending their own production with the finest in the new wave of artists warping dance floors and minds around.
