Funkstörung

The electronic music duo Funkstörung from Germany consists of Michael Fakesch and Chris De Luca. Formed in the mid-1990s in Rosenheim, Bavaria, the duo quickly gained recognition for their approach to electronic music, blending elements of IDM (Intelligent Dance Music), glitch and hip-hop.

Funkstörung's early work was heavily influenced by the emerging glitch movement, characterized by fragmented beats and digital noise. Their distinctive sound caught the attention of the electronic music community, leading to collaborations and remix opportunities with notable artists such as Björk, Wu-Tang Clan, and The Notwist.

They continued to explore new sonic territories, incorporating elements of pop, R&B, and ambient music while maintaining their signature glitch aesthetics. Their music often features collaborations with various vocalists, adding depth and diversity to their soundscapes. In addition to their studio albums, Funkstörung is known for impressive remix work. Their remixes have added a distinctive edge to tracks by a wide range of artists, further establishing their versatility and creativity within the electronic music genre.

Despite taking a hiatus in the late 2000s, Funkstörung reunited in 2015 and released a self-titled album, reaffirming their relevance in the ever-evolving electronic music landscape.
