Function - 'Existenz' Premiere

Late sum­mer Func­tion announced his sec­ond solo album, Exis­tenz, which will land on Tre­sor Records this com­ing December. 

”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.”

Ahead of its release next month Trax Mag­a­zine chose to pre­mière the sec­ond cut on the album ​‘Plea­sure Dis­ci­pline’. Tun­ing in below you will get the sense Func­tion has a lot of emo­tion to express in this one. Soar­ing pads orbit the sound of a heart mon­i­tor that’s bleep­ing rhythm gives the impres­sion of feel­ing alive but only just. Grad­u­al­ly per­cus­sive ele­ments build on top of one anoth­er while strung out melodies fur­ther sell the nar­ra­tive. Around the mid­point of the track, the heart mon­i­tor slows down along­side the tem­po giv­ing a tense moment of unclar­i­ty before slow­ly return­ing to its for­mer state to see you out to the end.
