Funk D'Void Mixes Balance 022

Scottish techno impresario Funk D'Void, aka Francois Dubois and real name Lars Sandberg, has mixed the latest entry into the Australian mix series, Balance, due for release on September 24th.

Breaking through onto the scene in 1995 on Soma Records with a sound that combined techno beats and percussion with soaring melodies and chords to scintillating effect, Sandberg has since become one of Glasgow's finest exports of electronic talent.

Having previously mixed compilations for Cocoon and Soma, Sandberg says that his inspiration for recording Balance 022 came from "listening to the “Back To Mine” compilation series of the previous decade."

“I didn’t want too many of the latest hottest tracks in the mix, so I basically made a selection of moments that have had the biggest impact on me and attempted to weave them into a cohesive structure that might connect on the same level that I had experienced them," Sandberg explains. "Every track has been edited by me so I wasn’t held back by overlong arrangements built for the club, opting instead for the immediate impact that could still be attained as one body of work.”

To support the release, Funk D'Void will be heading out on a three date tour of Australia in October. Dates below.

19.10.12 – Melbourne, Brown Alley
