Funf is a stirring soundtrack of glass synths and whirring machine sounds, with broken drum rhythms and celestial pads all interacting with each other to uplifting and cathartic effect. Gabe Gurnsey is the man who founded the Factory Floor band and since then has served up sleek industrial techno and acid basslines on labels like Phantasy, who put out his album last year. Here he remixes 'Funf' into a collision of dancehall kicks, endless reverb and contorted synths that will freak out the floor in twisted fashion.
Sechs an 11-minute opus with haunting lead synth lines that hark back to John Carpenter's best work, as IDM textures and twisted drums build the intensity and drive things forwards. It's an epic track that is genre blurring and excellent in equal measure. In the hands of Gurnsey it becomes a downbeat piece of experimental beat work. Sci-fi synths, doom laden pads and broken drums all make for a perfectly dystopian vibe.
