Hipodrome 4 Years Anniversary with Delta Funktionen
Δ November 9th, 2013, Hipodrome 4 Years Anniversary, Bohemian Flow Pub (Sibiu, Romania)
It’s that time of the year when celebrations are coming around and this year we have one more reason to celebrate. In November 2008, being in a trip to Amsterdam, I’ve attended a party at the famous club Studio 80. There, in the small & dark backroom of the club, I was absolutely mesmerized by the eclectic session of a young DJ that crafted together techno, electro, Chicago and italo. Now, exactly 5 years from then and 3 years of trying to book this man, finally we made it!

Delta Funktionen – Sun Storm / Onkalo [99DSR]
Still fresh from his debut full length Traces last year, Delta Dunktionen is back with his first EP of the year. As well a new track, it features a special Karenn remix of ‘Onkalo’, a track previously released on Traces, as well as ‘Challenger’ from the same album. The first original is ‘Sun Storm’ with its tumbling Chicago drums, chattering claps and sci-fi swirls all adding up to something that’s as heady as it is futuristic. ‘Challenger’ – previously cd/digi only – on the other hand sounds like a much more calm and serene trip through the cosmos, with slowed electro stylings and plenty of occult details coming over like the soundtrack to a film as much as a darkened dancefloor.

The Exaltics – Node EP [MA002]
After a very promising debut Modal Analysis strikes back with its second release, from The Exaltics. The mysterious electro master delivers two original tracks. Node#1 and Node#2 are mind-twisting tracks suitable both for home listening and club use. The EP finishes with a killer dance-floor remix of Node#2 by Delta Funktionen.
Delta Funktionen – Traces [93DSR]
After four years of techno EPs for Delsin and Ann Aimee, Niels Luinenburg aka Delta Funktionen has finished his debut full length, Traces. Though still very much couched in techno, the album sees the Dutchman explore plenty of new sonic territory, as he often does in his long ranging DJ sets. It’s adventurous, basically, and is an album that doesn’t loose itself in intricate sound design, but instead pairs a raw, machine made aesthetic with plenty of real human soul and palpable earthly emotion.
“Traces is about my long time research into electronic music. It covers tracks that make reference to my favourite subgenres within electronic music: techno, house, electro and (Italo)-disco. There was no specific idea behind it because the album contains tracks made over a long time. Some are 3 years old, others were made this year, but in the end I think it sounds like a coherent piece of work.”
Made using a mixture of drum machines, FM and digital synthesizers, various bits of hardware and digital FX units, the whole thing was sequenced in Ableton with plenty of sample use to finish it off. From the atmospheric openings of blissful electro joint “Frozen Land” through the sultry and searching acid of “Enter” and on to more forceful cuts like “Redemption”, this is an album for listening to as much as it is for dancing. Mood driven landscapes like “Onkalo” prove that, but you’ll have to check it out for yourself to get a real appreciation of the story Delta Funktionen is telling.

VA – Field 06 [FIELD006]
The sixth release in the Field’s various artist series showcases four peerless Dutch producers – Delta Funktionen, ROD, Mark Du Mosch and Roberto Auser. Delta Funktionen turns in a dry, concrete techno track, ROD a more frantic and amped up number whilst Mark Du Mosch goes for some heavy bass swing with his clipped and heavy house effort. Auser closes out a nicely rounded EP with some glistening ambient synth sounds that swirl around in your head like a calming breeze.
Dieptepunt – Feeling Deep [DIEPTE002]
Dieptepunt was responsible for a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it 12″ on their own self titled imprint last year. Now, “Feeling Deep”, the title track from that EP gets two superb reworkings from Delta Funktionen. On the A-Side, his “Mono Mix” of the title track sees a churning bassline sitting inside some devastatingly simple kick drums, taken into more atmospheric territory with some heavily processed, silky pads. On the flip, his “808 Mix” begins with the kind of sparse tom and snare arrangement, before launching into some deep, squelching acid licks that sound like they’re wrapped beneath a swathe of damp mist.
VA – Inertia #1 [INERTIA001]
The first of 4×4 vinyl releases from the Ann Aimee compilation, Inertia. This opening volume includes cuts from Delta Funktionen, Peter Van Hoesen, Roman Lindau and Sawlin. Delta Funktionen goes deep and dramatic, Peter Van Hoesen offers up his usual dub-wise textures, whilst Lindau pairs icy hi-hats with a heavy stomping beat. Sawlin offers the trippiest techno with his delightfully disheveled ’Excipidial’ and closes out what is an essential.
The Echelon Plan – Black Dots In An Ocean Of White [INCH001]
Surface Records announce the launch of new sister label – Inchoate. On the debut release, The Echelon Plan drop 3 tracks of pure deepness while Delta Funktionen reserved the remix duties.
