VA - Dys Functional Electronic Music (2017)

Dys Functional Electronic Music is a compilation release from Repitch Recordings, celebrating the label’s first five years. Its ambivalent title aims to represent the sonic behaviour of its content, often deviating from norms or distancing itself from common club functionalism. For this release, the 3 REPITCH masterminds Ascion, D. Carbone and Shapednoise are joined by a selection of the artists who contributed shaping the Repitch sound throughout the years, along with guests that inspired them in this adventure. During the past 5 years the main focus of the label was to set up a platform for experimentations across the dancefloor canon, establishing a standout musical identity. A spirit that resonates within each artist’s personal approach: from Ascion’s dark breakbeats to The Exaltics and AnD’s acid frontalism, Shapednoise’s brooding noise, Sote’s fractured rave, D. Carbone and Gaja’s intrusions into melody, Pinch and the Zenker Brothers’ dub-infused atmospherics, Skudge’s love of gloom and Nuel’s IDM-ish minimalism.
