  Hymen release 035
"de/module" is a track that reminded me of earlier funckarma ("parts" or some of the "solid state") - similar approach to blending multiple layers of heavy percussion with calm, gentle melody.
funckarma's mix of "estrella" is stellar, as expected - spontaneous irregularity, with explosions of percussion and stuttering rhythmic textures among swelling graceful lines; distant small keys and massive fast-paced breaks, suspended in mid-motion.
i think this is where it is interesting to compare and contrast the sound of funckarma and gridlock, both at some point arriving to the same style, both from different directions, and then departing with quieter new funckarma releases ("part 5" and "elaztiq") and increasingly complex and driving sound of gridlock.

 FUNKY GREEN ALIENS
Funckarma are two brothers, Don and Roel Funcken, from the Dutch capital of The Hague.
Funckarma prove they are worthy descendents as they take the compositional teachings of Ae to heart, and in their honor discover new icy planets of sound and phrasing.
And incredible programmers that they are, Funckarma have that luscious three-dimensional thing going on: inside their gigantic dome squishy beats fly around you, wafting melodies project through you.

part 5 is yet another numbered installment in funckarma's vinyl series on dub label (previous ones have already acquired the status of collector's items).
these days funckarma and its side projects seem to exchange more and more sounds and ideas; something you might have been expecting from this album will be found on quench release, or on future cenik vinyl.
part 5, as well as other recent funckarma material, gains more and more of "intellectual appeal", requiring a certain barrier of entry to fully get into the music.

 Grooves Magazine - Reviews: Funckarma - Refurbished One   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Funckarma is the Dutch brother team of Don and Roel Funcken.
Refurbished One, the first in a planned series of Funckarma remix albums, is a collection of previously unreleased interpretations Funckarma created over the past few years.
Funckarma’s version is strikingly different, yet no less mysterious and gorgeous: The brothers keep the synth hook, but transform it into a dreamlike echo of the original.

 [No title]
Flip for the Funckarma remix, the only track on offer to utilise a full-bodied beat under the layers of noise and instrumentation, a stabbing sub bass and crunchy percussion used to rework the track into a more solid structure - a crunchy workout of the highest calibre.
Funckarma is probably the best known name on this CD, together with Slemper and Jonas they represent the Dutch scene on this excellent CD.
Funckarma have already made an appearance today, their contribution here retaining an undeniably rugged and complex percussive structure, tamed with a look to the future circa Blade Runner and it’s apoccalyptic soundscapes.

 Gridface: Funckarma: Refurbished One
First up is an atmospheric, multi-layered version of “Hayfever” by Speedy J. (The original version is on one of my favorite albums.) Funckarma add bass and distort the original industrial sounds while retaining their rhythm.
Funckarma adds beats and subtle computer manipulation for an intoxicating experience.
The Funckarma version of “Duuster and Donker” by Duuster hides squelchy 303 acid behind synth sweeps and flute stabs.

Funckarma has remastered all tracks for this release.
Funckarma's complex synthesizer-centric melodies and similarly complex rhythmic structures place them somewhere between the zesty hip-hop aromas of early Funkstorung and the single malt scotch smoothness of late Bola.
And they're not afraid to venture into symphonic realms as evidenced on their djak-up-bitch album solid state, which at times sounds like Future Sound of London before they went on a bender.

 Sending Orbs | Funckarma
Funckarma is the music of two brothers, Don and Roel Funcken.
Influences on their work are hiphop, jazz, reggae and dub music, soul music and definately beats in all ways imaginable.
Having released under numerous labels (Warp/Skam/dub/Merck) and alter ego's (Cane/Quench), they remixed Funkstorung and Speedy J and received great acclaim for their hiphop project with Shadowhuntaz.

Funckarma are 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 Funkstorung, with a former DMC mixing champ and a student of "sonology" (a distinctly European blend of scientific principles and electro-acoustic and musique concrete recording and compositional practices) between them, Funckarma are anything..
The brothers' first material appeared in 1999 through Djak-Up-Bitch, a label parodying fellow Dutch label Djax-Up-Beats, a comparatively more dancefloor-apologetic imprint and the subject of scorn among Dutch producers with a desire to push the envelope of experimental post-techno.

 WARP RECORDS | SHADOW HUNTAZ | CORRUPT+DATA | SKALD012
After Shadowhuntaz heard only one CD of a few remixes from Funckarma, they knew the album was going to happen between these two teams of men.
If van Gogh was alive today and in Holland he would use his good ear to listen to what's emanating from Funckarma.
Call it electronic nuttiness that never fails to engage or abrasive, lush, haunting sound; a moving and viscerally intense evidence that Funckarma's music is full of emotion, mechanical, distorted and coming from a dark aesthetic funckarma material, displays more of 'intellectual appeal', requiring a certain barrier of entry to fully get into the music.

 Funckarma - Refurbished One (n5md/Couchblip) / Elaztiq Bourbon 5 (Sending Orbs) at Thermostat
Neither are really new albums: refurbished one collects remixes done by the boys between 2001 and 2004, while Elaztiq Bourbon 5 compiles three 12″s between 2001 and 2003.
The remix collection is not surprisingly the more varied release; but that said, the sound throughout is consistently Funckarma’s.
In particular “Lignite”, from dub records’ Part 5, combines beautiful cold synth pads with a deceptively simple 6/8 beat which mutates via every available permutation of effect and syncopation into a virtuoso drum solo that has to be heard to be believed.

About the Chefs: Funckarma's brotherly team of Don and Roel Funcken were so damned hammered when we talked to them last, they couldn't tell us much about themselves.
So, here's what we've been able to glean from their incoherent slobbering: they're in their late 20s, from the Netherlands and have been making music for over two years under the names Funckarma and Cenik for labels ranging from Djak-Up-Bitch, U Cover, Music Aus Strom and Neo Ouija to Isophlux, Toytronic, Eat This and n5MD.
Roel said something about being a former Dutch national DJ finalist when he was just thirteen and having studied "Sonologie" at university, while Don may or may not have been in the IT industry in some capacity.

 Funckarma at Frigid at Thermostat
Holland’s Funckarma are playing at Frigid this Sunday.
Even better are their spikey hip hop beats for hip hop crew the Shadow Huntaz.
I didn’t really rate the rapping or rhymes - I don’t rate very much hip hop these days - but the beats are great, and I hope that Funckarma drop a few instrumentals in their live set.

after a long busy period for the Funcken brothers they finally present their new Funckarma 12".
The brothers have been working on some new projects like a Hip hop project called the Shadow Huntaz (just been released on Skam!) and a harder technoish thing on Arcola (Warp sublabel) as Cane.

The Funcken Brothers went into the studio with the original bits and pieces of the track and came out with two totally different versions.
Beside the original version (and the a capella which is pretty classic hip hop stuff in the eyes of electronica fans (can be compared with Cannibal Ox stuff), we have Funckarma mix 1 (Vocal plus instrumental) which is very laidback almost dubby with a bouncing bass line.
And even tho its not classic hip hop...it still has a very strong hip hop feel in it and it is very relaxed and clean compared to the second mix....
