Delta Funktionen



www.deltafunktionen.net/

Niels Luinenburg has been releasing music as Delta Funktionen since 2008. For several years before that, though, he worked in an underground vinyl store in the northern part of his native Holland. It was here that he tuned into, and began to be influenced by, rare early Detroit techno and Chicago house pressings before finally getting infected to the point of needing to contribute to the electronic music community in his own right.

Content to go about his business quietly, the Dutchman now spins a genre-defiant blend of Detroit techno, Chicago-licked house, crafty old school electro and sparkling Italo disco at clubs like fabric, Trouw, The Bunker and Berghain/Panorama Bar… “My DJing is all about serious fun” says the man who gained notoriety recently thanks to a powerful warm-up set ahead of techno hero Jeff Mills. Though that night saw him adapt ably to the situation, normal headline gigs for Delta Funktionen are about showcasing a wide variety of electronic sounds, with each one designed for maximum dance floor demolition.

In terms of the man’s productions, there has been a recent shift away from the conceptual offerings of his Electromagnetic Radiation releases and the stern techno seriousness of underground hits like his Silhouette EP and Setup Series on Delsin and Ann Aimee respectively. The results can best be heard on his debut Delsin album, Traces, which covers a lot of ground - and not all of it completely focussed on the dancefloor. With one eye on the past and two feet firmly stamping forward, it touches on everything from house to acid to techno to electro. In other words, it contains traces of everything that has gotten him to where he is today…


New album just out now is getting great press:

Claro Intelecto



www.claro-intelecto.com

Claro Intelecto – known to the parents who bought him a first synth at age ten as Mark Stewart – is a wise old head when it comes to music production. He learnt the hard way, before the days of downloadable software, instead playing around with tracker programs, wrestling with various sequencers, toying with Octomed and later sampling using Cubase, all the while putting into practice the skills he learnt from his piano tutor.

Not bad for someone who, at the same time and having dropped out of art college, was working as a screen printer during his teens. Music, though, became an ever more important preoccupation for the Manchester man, so it was only natural for him to spend any and all money on a sound recording course at Spirit Studios (incidentally, the same space in which rave legends 808 State had recently laid down their "90" album).

Fast forward to the point where Stewart had completed an Art Degree at University and Claro Intelecto was born – an integrated project of moving images, graphic design and music with a decidedly cinematic bent. That spawned the much later released track "Peace of Mind" amongst others, and it wasn’t long after that some well received demos at Ai Records and Manchester's boutique, Boomkat-associated imprint Modern Love gave Mark his first vinyl release, just after the turn of the millennium.

A heavyweight, dub oriented house and techno framework has loosely characterised Claro Intelecto's output on labels like Modern Love, as well as his live performances over the years. Key releases include his "Peace of Mind EP", "Metanarrative" album, a series of "Warehouse Sessions" 12"s and a career defining remix (having been originally requested by the band's Martin Gore) of Depeche Mode's 1982 classic "Leave in Silence", whilst April 2012 will see a first full length release on Dutch label Delsin.

As well as producing and composing, Stewart takes a bespoke live show across the globe, playing everywhere from Sao Paolo to Moscow via Sonar, Communikey and… Jerusalem! Wherever he plays, though, or whatever he produces, the underlying aim is always the same: to make decent, honest house and techno music that follows no brief or zeitgeist, instead focusing on its own sense of soul and detailed depths.
