Frustrated Funk Holland

Review: More Harbour City Sorrow from the Frustrated Funk crew. The Rotterdam based label now presenting a reissue a decade on of Dcast Dynamics' The Giant Returns. This is a lesser known alias of Miami electro legend Shad Thomas Scott - who some of you may know of from his work as Gosub, Metal Beat or Phrunt in addition running the hugely underrated Isophlux imprint. From the noir-ish Dopplereffekt vibe of the title track, to the slowly submerging/deeply aquatic vibe of the lush "Under Current", Scott's classic works are still relevant as ever in today's newfound love of the electro sound.

Review: Frustrated Funk is the chosen medium to release the next phase in Dataphysix's research and experimentation of electromagnetic radiation. 'Cherenkov Radiation' is 4 takes of electromagnetic waves that are constricted to travel trough different sequences. This is the universe of Der Zyklus, the evolution and experimentation of electro physics that never seem to stop. Highly recommended

Review: Frustrated Funk's latest missive boasts cuts from two of electro's most reliable artists: Convextion man Gerard Hanson (under the deep electro E.R.P. guise) and Rotterdam scene stalwarts Duplex. Hanson handles the A-side, delivering a punchy, club-ready electro workout rich in intergalactic electronics, Egyptian Lover style synth flourishes and restless drum machine cowbells. Interestingly, it's a far bolder and retro-futurist affair than we've come to expect from the dreamy and emotion-rich E.R.P. project. Ironically, Duplex's atmospheric and spacey "Molecular (Ovatow Reclock)" is undeniably deep and sumptuous, matching Hanson's most melodious and evocative moments.
