  • This March, Kompakt will release the first album from Saschienne, a project by Sascha Funke and his fiance, Julienne Dessagne. Entitled Unknown, the record will be the first yet from Saschienne, though the duo reportedly got started two years ago in Bergundy, France. "It was was born out of spontaneity," say the artists in a press release. "No order, no rules... It took us quite a lot of time and reflection to give it a shape that others could see and hopefully appreciate." A long time staple of BPitch Control (though his first EP was on Kompakt), Funke's DJ and production style often balances pop and club sensibilities. Dessagne, meanwhile, is a trained pianist with a background in contemporary classical music. Both sides seep through on Unknown, a low-key pop album with a 4/4 pulse. The record will be Funke's first on Kompakt in over a decade. Tracklist 01. Unknown 02. November 03. Knopfauge 04. Grand Cru 05. La Somme 06. Caché 07. Aile Mut 08. Neue Acht Kompakt will release Unknown on March 26th, 2012.
