Outsider artist, John Peel favorite, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada based AARON FUNK describes his surroundings as a kind of "Frozen Ibiza" where people love house music and he's added "Coming from Canada, specifically Winnipeg has been a real advantage because whatever you do, nobody is gonna like it." He's probably best known to you as VENETIAN SNARES. Under that alias he has been releasing music since 1999 with an output that has made him arguably the most prolific Canadian producer of electronic music out there with over 22 albums to his name. In fact he's so prolific that after releasing thirteen albums on Planet Mu between 2001 and 2009, Mu even gave him his own label Timesig. Funk has been credited as reinventing Breakcore, and is noted as one of the most eclectic and often abrasive electronic music producers around. His approach to sampling is legendary and was heavily featured on his 2010 Timesig album My So-Called Life but his new album LAST STEP (320 iTunes ready download below) to be released next week under the new project alias SLEEP on PLANET MU reflects an unusual side of his work - more hardware based and in a different pure electronic / IDM realm.
