sascha funke: zug um zug

This is Sascha Funke's first Kompakt outing under his proper name in more than a decade. Zug Um Zug will please fans of both his solo productions and his work with Saschienne, thanks to the artist's knack for stylish and hypnotic techno that successfully combines the straightforward and the uncanny. The title-track boasts just a few drone pads and a straight bass drum, but that's all Sascha Funke needs to establish a rather complex atmosphere. "Alles In Allem" opts for a more direct approach, ditching the embalming pads of the title-track for some serious sub-bass dwellings and those trademark guitar strums.
