I have noticed that people don't really ever mention these guys around here... I think they definitly deserve some more attention. Funkarma is also known as Quench sometimes. they totally rock. Also nobody ever mentions l'usine icl around and i can't imagine why. l'usine is the fantastic. oh btw funkarma got signed to warp so thats pretty cool i guess. |

give em a search on soulseek and download anything you can, its bound to be great. also check out Quench and Cepix (i think thats how its spelled). Funkarma is two brothers, Quench is the same two people, and Cepix is just one of the guys. |

oddio, you're going to hear a funckarma track in a few days. so make sure you don't waste your 56k downloading that one. |

quench stuff is wayyyy better than funckarma imo. and i believe it's CENIK not CEPIX |

having only heard quench "exclude" and the track from the "men with boxes" album, i definitely prefer the funckarma material (of which i've heard a lot more, the first four parts, the comp album "parts," and "solid state" as well as compilation tracks here and there). i think funckarma were tagged early on as ae imitators by some people and despite their talent they've been relegated somewhat to the background. their skills have developed a lot, and they've added details like voices and violin, but stylistically they've stuck pretty closely to the "cut up beats and long drawn out minor inflected melodies with plenty of fx" approach whether as funckarma or quench. |

you should really try out "a journey into electronix" and "punctuated" from quench... |

i absolutely love LUSINE ICL!!! pretty well everything that fella's been doing of late is utterly brilliant! for the time being however, i think lusine remains a rather underground pheonmenon for "those in the know", so to write. one of the main problems is the fact that lusine releases on so many different labels and aside from getting his music through say, soulseek, it's pretty difficult to come by in the shops. the music's amazing enough though that it's only a matter of time before the world catches up. |

lusine is good. some of his works i got bored with but generally its nice. i liked "sustain" ep the most, though im a sucker for the funkstörung mix ill admit. as far as funckarma is concerned, i really dont find them that special. i wouldnt necessarily call them an autechre rip off or whatever they were dubbed with at first, since they dont sound anything like them, but a lot of their tracks were just uninteresting to me (minus a few). lawk, zean, lolola off of solid state were my favorites. also the song noir off the the expertise compilation (which im on, actually) is quite nice, and just got re-released on delikatassen i think. but the others just didnt do it for me. its like they put a noise oscillator on their sound and bit crush all their drums. im not saying they are bad really, because theyve made stuff i think is great, they got obvious skilzzz. but i think they can get a lot better. least i hope so |

yah i agree there. but funckarma are a great role model for us fellow dutchie music makers. they're about the biggest idm artist ever to come from the lowlands. btw l'usine gets mentioned relatively often considering his popularity. he should release another full length soon, though |
