Having delivered the goods for 3 weeks running now (with the Fuckarma 12" for the "On" label, the mighty Shadow Huntaz album for Skam and the Cane 12" for Arcola), the brothers Funcken of Funckarma fame return to these pages for the 4th week in a row, this time with their latest album under their occasional pseudonym - Quench. "Dyn" is an incredibly dense, dark journy through electronic sound structures that every so often stumbles into thick beats, squashed percussion and complex rhythms. You get the feeling with many of the tracks on board that much self-restraint was absorbed into the writing of these pieces - evident on the magnificent second track "Polar" with it mighty broken machine beat rumbles and incredibly simple 3 note melodies - complex and beautifully simple at the same time. While the album is undeniably a strictly IDM affair, the brothers Funcken are at the moment at the very top of their game, "Dyn" being another reason to investigate their increasingly essential output with haste. Good stuff.
