Snares Trap

While some critics have referred to the amen break as Funk's crutch, he is quick to point out otherwise. "You don't have to play the same beat with the amen," he insists. "It's just a sound — a color to paint whatever you choose with. It's taking something familiar and fucking with it. I think there's no surrealism if you don't get a peek at something real as well. But I don't wanna feel like I am defending my use of a breakbeat. I love it. If you don't, that's fine."

Continuing, Funk at least partially explains how his music runs while most electronic music walks. "I've always been interested in doing things you shouldn't do with music, because if that's what I want to hear, I gotta do it myself," he says. "I use all non-4/4 time signatures in my music. It's still not something you hear in electronic music. But these days it's gone far beyond that." Exactly where, however, will remain a mystery for now, owing to the "haters and little snotfucks" who criticize Funk's music. "I don't really want to reveal what I've been up to lately, but it might get heard one day. There's some stuff I like too much to put out in the world for a bunch of retards to hear."
