- Aaron Funk has a collection of tracks he made while falling asleep due out next month on Planet Mu.
Canadian producer Aaron Funk, better known as Venetian Snares, will release a new album next month under the name Last Step.
The record is called Sleep and, like many of Funk's albums, will come out on Planet Mu. It's a marked departure from the violent drum & bass that's long been his calling card as Venetian Snares; as Last Step, he delivers left-field beats with a 4/4 beat, all made while he was on the brink of consciousness. He explains the process this way:
"For awhile, when I was really tired and ready to go to bed instead of going to sleep I would make a tune. Get some stuff going on my sequencers, drum machines, patch up my modular and just jam it. Would fall asleep a lot listening to the sequences, few seconds of sleep or a few minutes, wake up in it. This is what I sound like in my sleep."
