sascha funke: genex 1

Ever since his first exposure to euro-dance pop as a twelve year-old kid, Berlin native Sascha Funke followed the siren call of electronic music. By now he has carved out a spot at the forefront of leading-edge dance music through delivering the goods. From his early Bpitch and Kompakt years (Tracks like "Bravo" or "Mango" became some sort of all-time classics), The Saschienne project with his partner in crime Julienne Dessagne (aka Fantastic Twins), his synth wave and post-punk-inspired album Lotus Land, twisted piano house on Turbo, Krautrock spheres on Multi Culti to hypnotizing psychedelic on Hippie Dance. Genex 1 is his first full on EP for Permanent Vacation; here, Sascha proves once more that he definitely needs his own record shop section: three genre-bending tracks, full of quirky yet poppy melodies veering among cosmic trance, space techno and leftfield Italo to light up the Bengalos on any dance floor.
