VENETIAN SNARES
Aaron Funk (Venetian Snares) makes a welcome return to
Dublin to
perform in
the Hub on june 22. He tore up the music centre with
his own fucked up
brand of spliced up breakbeats last april. this event
is co-presented
with
the darklight film festival which takes place that
week.
Aaron Funk (aka Venetian Snares) hails from Winnipeg
in Canada. Since
his
debut 12" in 1999 on a small Minneapolis label he has
risen out of the
drill'n'bass/breakcore mire to become one of the most
astonishing (and
popular) musicians working in the experimental
electronic sphere
(alongside
Squarepusher, Aphex Twin and boards Of Canada). Each
new album from
Aaron
brings with it a new sound, a new atmosphere, a whole
new world - he
never
repeats what's gone before. "Chocolate Wheelchair",
his 10th
commercially
available album, is his most hook-laden opus yet -
five out of the ten
tracks include a vocal performance (of some
description). It could be
described as a mutant post-punk ragga-jungle pop music
for an
alternative
reality. Aaron just calls his music surrealism. For
those who enjoyed
"Higgins Ultra Low Track Glue Funk Hits 1972-2006" -
this is the
stylistic
follow-up. Full-on punk-rave jungle breakz with lots
and lots of pop
sampling attitude in 7/8 (and 5/4). As well as the
future classic
single:
"Einstein-Rosen Bridge" with its funk guitar, sci-fi
vocals and salsa
trumpets, the album is also choc-full (ho) of other
poptastic delights.
Such as the shouty post-punk vocal hooks of
"Abomination Street" whose
melody is based on the TV theme of a well known &
long-running
Manchester
soap opera; or Too Young - a glitch-hop reworking of
the Motley Crue
hit.
"Hand Throw" - in which a gruff (Belgian) MC shouts
out to "Antwerp
massive"... or "Epidermis" in which another more
tremulous post-punk
chanteuse pairs up with spooky drexciyan chords,
titanium breaks and a
buzzing reese bass. The album concludes with Aaron's
most daring
de-construction of the amen break yet - "Herbie Goes
Ballistic" with a
guest performance from the little vw beetle who cared.
NME:
"Venetian Snares is to Music what Satan is to
Christianity: a
profoundly
malevolent force who looks great, intimidates a lot of
boring people
and
is, despite everything, insanely popular... It's like
experiencing The
Empire Strikes Back on 3D IMAX on LSD..."
