Function New Album Incoming!

Func­tion is all set to release his sec­ond solo album to date, Exis­tenz. His pre­vi­ous full-length land­ed on the pres­ti­gious Ostgut Ton and with this out­ing, he adds Tre­sor to his heavy­weight list of labels. Exis­tenz is com­piled from a series of record­ings from late-2016 to mid-2019 and fea­tures col­lab­o­ra­tions with house icon Robert Owens and Func­tion​’s part­ner Ste­fanie Parnow. 

 ​“The album focus­es on themes of reli­gion, sex­u­al­i­ty, trau­ma and heal­ing and is said to be more ​‘expan­sive and cel­e­bra­to­ry’ than the Berlin-based artist’s usu­al style of tech­no.“
