About

Inter­stel­lar Funk is always explor­ing dif­fer­ent sounds. It would be easy to repeat the tricks that saw him break­through, but instead, he prefers to have fun mix­ing up the old with the new and join the dots between inspi­ra­tions from the past and take risks on unknown futures. That way, he man­ages to keep both him­self and his dancers on their toes.

As a producer, he continually explores the fringes of the electronic universe. Working under this alias but also Private Eyes and Faster Action, he effortlessly switches up the mood, tempo, and atmosphere of his music on labels such as L.I.E.S., Berceuse Heroique, Rush Hour, Dekmantel, and until recently, on his own, Artificial Dance.

As a DJ, he is shift­ing away from strict­ly club sounds to inves­ti­gates his own world of synth-based tex­tures, ambi­ent music, and effer­ves­cent beats. This love of transcending sounds and scenes, genres, and generations comes from years working at the famously influential and eclectic Rush Hour record store, as well as traveling the world and picking up his own global influences. Next up for the former Trouw and De School resident is a debut artist album, Into The Echo, on Dekmantel in 2022. The innovative record mixes up pensive melodies with haunting post-industrial soundscapes and euphoric synth arpeggios. It is the latest chapter in the ever-evolving story of this restless musical investigator.
