Funboys music has always been informed by dancefloor dynamics and the club environment. Two of the trio are gigging DJs, with club experience dating back to the nineties, and the other is a multi-instrumentalist and record producer of similar vintage.
Over the years, however, the music made by this trio has taken on, at once, both a panoramic view of the electronic music landscape and a microscopic lens to the human condition affected by such music.
At times there’s an almost dystopian air of dark claustrophobia about these tracks. Restless anxiety is evoked by eerie transformations of beats and bass, seemingly disjointed synth rhythms coalescing into ferocious grooves.
But despite the darkness, you can never predict when it might pitch you into warm nostalgic reverie, or memories of more innocent times.
How can this be? Maybe it’s because the music references the unexpected against a
framework of the familiar. Abstract cinematic elements, suggesting an epic, even Brutalist, dimension, are woven into rhythms that fortify our frail and precious humanity.
Oh, by the way, in case any passing Stormtroopers happen to ask, yes, it’s true, these ARE the ravers we are looking for. Systems On!
