FUNCKARMA
Made up of the two Dutch brothers, Don and Roel Funcken, Funckarmas’ first EP appeared in 1999 on the Djak-Up Bitch (DUB) label. Since then they have unleashed a fury of releases on labels from Neo Ouija, n5MD, U-Cover, to Hymen, not including their work under other guises such as Cane, Quench, and their hip hop project with a trio of US MC’s under the name Shadow Huntaz on Skam records.

Their signature bass-driven precision sound compositions, encompassing influences from hip hop, jazz, reggae, dub, soul and all forms of electronic music, are carefully crafted and constructed into tight rhythmic forces with a keen ear for texture and structure.

With the dubstep virus infecting all forms of electronic music, it was a natural evolution for the Funcken brothers to take strands of the meme and splice it to the dna of their own productions, creating a mutant hybrid of lurching instrumental hip hop with floor shaking bass and super punchy intricate razor sharp rhythms.

FISK INDUSTRIES
Mat Ranson has been developing his Fisk Industries project for the past few years, and is truly on top of his game at the moment, as the bass gets deeper, the beats get dirtier and he pushes himself into further realms of evil instrumental hip hop.

His recent sets have been nothing short of floor shaking in their cavernous resonance. With three EPs on Highpoint Lowlife, and various web releases, all of which were collected on a double disc album by Mush Records last year, Fisk Industries will be showing off his latest works, set for release in 2008 on a new album.
