Funckarma is deuce brothers, Don and Roel Funcken, hailing from the Dutch working capital of The Hague. Though they tin sound like to the likes of Autechre and Funkstörung, with a former DMC commixture champ and a bookman of "sonology" (a distinctly European blend of scientific principles and electro-acoustic and musique concrète recording and compositional practices) between them, Funckarma is anything but. The brothers' number one material appeared in 1999 through Djak-Up-Bitch, a label parodying comrade Dutch label Djax-Up-Beats, a comparatively more than dancefloor-apologetic imprint and the content of contempt among Dutch producers with a desire to push the envelope of data-based post-techno. The group's number one EP featured a Funkstörung remix, which seemed to pitch them as the latest outcropping of the EP's montage of textures and sophisticated hodgepodge harmonics far transcend that association. A second EP, highborn simply 2, followed a few months on, just didn't achieve the same level of innovation as the first. The 2000 full-length Parts self-contained tracks from their early EPs along with some newfangled material and was followed a class later by the completely new album Solid State. More singles and EPs were issued, and then gathered on the 2005 spillage Elaztiq Bourbon 5. That same year the desegregate CD Refurbished One arrived with another original album, Bion Glent, landing in 2006. By this time the brothers had decided that the name Funckarma should represent a certain reasoned, so numerous aliases were created for "style geographic expedition." Shadow Huntaz were created for their work with American rappers, Quench made ambient music for chillout suite, Scone was a project with Kettel, and Automotive featured the brothers' electronics adjacent to live jazz musicians.
