So, you may simply not like it, you don’t understand it or you don’t know what it is? Honestly, I have not heard anything sounding like this, ever. I have never heard bass as crisp like this.

Funckarma, Smizm EP [DUB Recordings – DUB30, 2004]

The supreme masters’ are back on vinyl as well as on DUB recordings. Complex beats, plenty of bass, as you would expect from the outstanding and untouchable Funckarma.

Funckarma, Bourbon Sounds [Delikatessen Records – PLATE4, 2002]

After the blinding opening done by this relatively new label the plate number four offered by delikatessen is delivered by none other than Funckarma. The Bourbon 10″ contains four tracks and starts of with the previously released “Noir” and it’s crunchiness defined giving the track a hint of harshness however lush strings creates a soothing… Continue reading Funckarma, Bourbon Sounds [Delikatessen Records – PLATE4, 2002]

Complex beats, plenty of bass and the lushest sounding melodies, as you would expect from this outstanding group: Funckarma. They are releasing records in a furious tempo right now, and this, the fifth part in their parts’ series is simply brilliant. It doesn’t get any better than this (well that’s my opinion anyhow.)
