The ultra-funk-ular Funkwerkstatt
The electronic music scene is like a cloudless night. Countless, equally
brilliant stars light the sky. Many new acts are quickly discovered and
disappear soon afterwards, like streaking satellites or pulsing comets. Still
others are like space junk, spinning aimlessly through the nether. There are
a few, however, that shine brighter than the others and despite their
perennial presence, continue to burn brightly. Following a supernova in the
year 1999, the constellation Funkwerkstatt appeared on the firmament of the
Party Galaxy. The project, called into life by Derrick Porter and Nicola John
on their own label, Superfancy, is well known for its individual, fresh and
novel style of electro, minimal and tech-house sounds. Numerous releases and
remix projects, for fans of italo disco and kraftwerk sounds, are evidence of
the artistically demanding accomplishments. Singer Dan Morro has woven his
vocals into the instrumental tapestry of Derrick and Nicola since 2004,
expanding the spectrum of the group's sound. Through their energetic live
acts, the trio keeps winning the enthusiasm and sweat of their audiences. After
countless gigs both in the party scene of their home region and beyond, they
are setting off, like a celestial storm, to course through the national and
international club universe.
The ultra-funk-ular!
They walk with the funk,
they talk with the funk,
they eat with the funk,
they sleep with the funk,
they live for the funk,
they die for the funk.
So now what do they say,
when they walkin up the block?
Boom shaka lak there goes the Funkwerkstatt!
