Funk D'Void: Reveals his Influences on „SCI.FI. HI.FI Vol. 4“
Lars Sandberg aka Funk D'Void is joining a league of illustrous acts by presenting the next volume of Soma Records' „SCI.FI. HI.FI“ series. Originally born in Scotland and now residing in Barcelona, Spain, Lars Sandberg has been a steady member of the Soma Records' crew since he released his first 12 inch „Jack me Off“ with them twelve years ago. After publishing his third full-length, „Speed Freak“ in 2004, he is now back with a Dub-infused mix which presents his own work as a remixer alongside artists like Ski Oakenful, Artec, Alex Moran and King Britt. Even though Sandberg mainly focusses on other people's tracks for „SCI.FI. HI.FI Vol. 4“, the album has a warm and pulsating vibe to it not dissimilar of his own music. Alex Moran's „Earth Women are Easy“ is dubby and dreamy, „Joe Mull's „Klangfarben“ spaced-out and krauty, while the Francois Dubois treatment of Dirt Crew's „Deep“ takes things into House-territory. All in all, „SCI.FI. HI.FI Vol. 4“ is is a drifting collection which displays all the skills which have caused others to call Funk D'Void "a true music connoisseur, a partyman and a DJ's DJ.“ Lars Sandberg has also been referred to as „One of the finest, sonically trustworthy and consistent selectors on the planet."
Lars Sandberg has certainly made use of the label's free-form policy on „SCI.FI. HI.FI Vol. 4“: „The artists have no parameters to their selection“, Soma Records said when presenting the first edition of the series, „they are free to represent themselves in any style they choose, portraying influences past, present and future.“ With previous artists including Ewan Pearson, who has carved out his own niche while contributing to big acts such as Depeche Mode or Moby, the „SCI.FI. HI.FI“ concept has lived up to this claim. „SCI.FI. HI.FI Vol. 4“ now shows that Funk D'Void is essentially spinning the same tracks at home as on parties and that his own compositions are closely aligned with the music he loves listening to. If there is anything missing from the sampler, it must be a track by George Clinton, whose character Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk famously provided Lars Sandberg with a suitable prject name.
After the release of „SCI.FI. HI.FI Vol. 4“ on February 18th and a performance at the famous Tresor Club in Berlin, Funk D'Void is now focussing on a tight schedule of DJ sets worldwide.
