About
Funckarma is two brothers, Don and Roel Funcken, hailing from the Dutch capital of The Hague. Though they can sound similar to the likes of Autechre and Funkstörung, with a former DMC mixing champ and a student of "sonology" (a distinctly European blend of scientific principles and electro-acoustic and musique concrète recording and compositional practices) Over time they have grown in their diversity of style from an almost purely IDM core to a wide array of genres of music - both through their exploration of new styles as they develop and collaborations with other artists.
The brothers' first material appeared in 1999 through Djak-Up-Bitch, and the group's first EP featured a Funkstörung remix, which seemed to pitch them as the latest outcropping of the busy-drums-and-minor-key-melodies set, but the EP's collage of textures and sophisticated patchwork harmonics far exceed that association.
Later the brothers had decided that the name Funckarma should represent a certain sound, so numerous aliases were created for "style exploration." Quench made ambient music for chillout rooms, Scone was a project with Kettel, and Automotive.
