██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ ôI am Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk/I have always ██▓▓
██▓▓ been devoid of funk/I shall continue to be ██▓▓
██▓▓ devoid of funk,ö sang Parliament main man ██▓▓
██▓▓ George Clinton on 1977Æs seminal ██▓▓
██▓▓ æFunkentelechy Vs. The Placebo SyndromeÆ. An ██▓▓
██▓▓ album with a wild concept, it tells the ██▓▓
██▓▓ LSD-inspired story of the conflict between ██▓▓
██▓▓ the not-much-fun Sir D'Voidoffunk and his ██▓▓
██▓▓ laugh-a-minute nemesis Starchild (aka ██▓▓
██▓▓ Clinton, who eventually triumphs in getting ██▓▓
██▓▓ the old misery guts to feel that funk and ██▓▓
██▓▓ shake his booty). ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ ItÆs no coincidence that Lars Sandberg has ██▓▓
██▓▓ flipped Sir NoseÆs handle around for his ██▓▓
██▓▓ Funk DÆVoid alias, because heÆs most ██▓▓
██▓▓ definitely got the funk. Much in demand as a ██▓▓
██▓▓ DJ around the world, heÆs a critically ██▓▓
██▓▓ acclaimed producer as well, with two albums ██▓▓
██▓▓ to date û æ1997Æs æTechnoirÆ and 2001Æs ██▓▓
██▓▓ æDosÆ(both on Soma) û not to mention a ██▓▓
██▓▓ string of killer singles and remixes. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Now Lars has his third long-player, æVolume ██▓▓
██▓▓ FreakÆ, ready to go; and itÆs a beauty that ██▓▓
██▓▓ sees Lars up his game, not to mention the ██▓▓
██▓▓ decibel level. ôIÆm known to listen and ██▓▓
██▓▓ produce music at abnormally loud levels, so ██▓▓
██▓▓ I thought the title was fitting,ö says the ██▓▓
██▓▓ 32-year old. Picking up where it ██▓▓
██▓▓ predecessors left off, æVolume FreakÆ is ██▓▓
██▓▓ grounded in techno: the majestic opener ██▓▓
██▓▓ æEmotional ContentÆ distills 15 years of ██▓▓
██▓▓ DetroitÆs machine music legacy into eight ██▓▓
██▓▓ minutes; the sublime mood music of æAll That ██▓▓
██▓▓ MattersÆ, æSueno For SomebodyÆ and æElectrix ██▓▓
██▓▓ 313Æ lap at your ears like rose-scented ██▓▓
██▓▓ surf; and the massive Heavenly Mix of ██▓▓
██▓▓ æDiablaÆ, with its gut-butting bass and ██▓▓
██▓▓ swirling, euphoric keys, provides a healthy ██▓▓
██▓▓ dose of contemporary club oomph. The ██▓▓
██▓▓ decision to include æDiablaÆ a brave move: ██▓▓
██▓▓ in its Heavenly form (different from that ██▓▓
██▓▓ included on 2001Æs æDosÆ) it was one of the ██▓▓
██▓▓ biggest tunes of tunes on 2001; and none ██▓▓
██▓▓ less than The Chemical Brothers used to ██▓▓
██▓▓ close their DJ sets with it. ôIÆve spent the ██▓▓
██▓▓ last 18 months trying to figure out how to ██▓▓
██▓▓ follow a record that successful,ö says Lars, ██▓▓
██▓▓ who nonetheless appreciates its role in ██▓▓
██▓▓ propelling him to the top of the dance music ██▓▓
██▓▓ pile. ôItÆs always fantastic to get great ██▓▓
██▓▓ feedback about your music, especially so ██▓▓
██▓▓ with æDiablaÆ, because I really put a lot of ██▓▓
██▓▓ work into that track. It also helped my DJ ██▓▓
██▓▓ career when it became successful and opened ██▓▓
██▓▓ my sound to a wider audience.ö (LarsÆ new ██▓▓
██▓▓ found profile has also had its amusing side: ██▓▓
██▓▓ with heavy irony, the origins of his nom de ██▓▓
██▓▓ plume came back to haunt him this year at a ██▓▓
██▓▓ festival in Belgium, where he was announced ██▓▓
██▓▓ as æFunk AvoidÆ.) But æVolume FreakÆ sees ██▓▓
██▓▓ Lars move his sound on with vocal tracks ██▓▓
██▓▓ like æCanÆt Get Enough Of A Bad ThingÆ and ██▓▓
██▓▓ æWay Up HighÆ (a move thatÆs sure to make a ██▓▓
██▓▓ Lars a festival favourite next year û heÆs ██▓▓
██▓▓ working on a kick-ass live show). ôItÆs ██▓▓
██▓▓ still a very electronically-based album with ██▓▓
██▓▓ the usual melodies and strings, but thereÆs ██▓▓
██▓▓ more depth and the vocals,ö he says. The ██▓▓
██▓▓ result is like a good time, sun-kissed ██▓▓
██▓▓ Underworld, and a world away from the ██▓▓
██▓▓ soulless techno scene in which Lars cut his ██▓▓
██▓▓ teeth. ôTechno ended up becoming extremely ██▓▓
██▓▓ lazy and soulless for me,ö says Lars. ôIt ██▓▓
██▓▓ became very rhythm-based, too cold and ██▓▓
██▓▓ abrasive for my liking. IÆve always been ██▓▓
██▓▓ into the more emotional, melodic side of ██▓▓
██▓▓ techno anyway, and I think itÆs coming to ██▓▓
██▓▓ the fore again. The deep and musical sound ██▓▓
██▓▓ has more longevity and substance than ██▓▓
██▓▓ loop-based percussive tracks. The whole ██▓▓
██▓▓ experience was extremely enlightening, ██▓▓
██▓▓ having words put to your music. Everybody ██▓▓
██▓▓ loves a song, and I felt as if I needed to ██▓▓
██▓▓ take the next step with my sound.ö The ██▓▓
██▓▓ emphasis on melody and vocals has got to be ██▓▓
██▓▓ something to do with the fact that ██▓▓
██▓▓ Glaswegian-born Lars now lives in Barcelona. ██▓▓
██▓▓ öIt was a case of ædonÆt think about it, ██▓▓
██▓▓ just do itÆ, and I havenÆt regretted it,ö he ██▓▓
██▓▓ says of the move. ôWhat are the plus ██▓▓
██▓▓ points?ö he continues. ôThe climate; the ██▓▓
██▓▓ beach; palm tree; bars; clubs; architecture; ██▓▓
██▓▓ girls in the summer; tapas; San Miguel on ██▓▓
██▓▓ draft; Sonar; siestas; the laid back ██▓▓
██▓▓ attitude; cheaper, bigger apartments; and a ██▓▓
██▓▓ hundred parks.ö Indeed, it seems the only ██▓▓
██▓▓ thing he misses about his home town is the ██▓▓
██▓▓ great clubs and cheese & onion pasties. ██▓▓
██▓▓ Another plus point of Barcelona almost ██▓▓
██▓▓ turned out to be a certain type of ██▓▓
██▓▓ gentlemanÆs nightspot. The hot climate ██▓▓
██▓▓ inflamed LarsÆ blood û he almost ended up ██▓▓
██▓▓ opening a lap dancing club. ôI investigated ██▓▓
██▓▓ it,ö he says, ôbut the Spanish mafia wanted ██▓▓
██▓▓ an enormous pay-off, and the whole situation ██▓▓
██▓▓ was becoming really seedy. I was going to ██▓▓
██▓▓ call it æFlaps In Your LapÆ.ö Spanish lap ██▓▓
██▓▓ dancingÆs loss is your gain. æVolume FreakÆ ██▓▓
██▓▓ is a panacea for the winter blues; a ray of ██▓▓
██▓▓ Mediterranean sunshine brightening up both ██▓▓
██▓▓ your stereo and the dancefloor; an antidote ██▓▓
██▓▓ to insubstantial excesses of electroclash ██▓▓
██▓▓ (ôItÆs just not my thing: zero funk factor,ö ██▓▓
██▓▓ says Lars); one in the eye for the ██▓▓
██▓▓ dance-musicÆs-dead brigade; synth music ██▓▓
██▓▓ concerned with the future as well as the ██▓▓
██▓▓ past; a record that sounds dead good if you ██▓▓
██▓▓ crank it up to ten; eleven tracks that make ██▓▓
██▓▓ you happy. Funk DÆVoid is going to make you ██▓▓
██▓▓ freak. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ The days spent listening to jazz-funk in ██▓▓
██▓▓ Fopp records (where they both worked at one ██▓▓
██▓▓ time or another) ingrained a love for "jazz ██▓▓
██▓▓ with a beat". It was obvious they would want ██▓▓
██▓▓ to begin making their own jazzy sounds. In ██▓▓
██▓▓ the winter of 1995 they did so, and Chaser ██▓▓
██▓▓ was born. For their debut they released the ██▓▓
██▓▓ unforgettable "Sides Of Iron". Causing quite ██▓▓
██▓▓ a stir at the time, this highly seductive ██▓▓
██▓▓ jazzhouse cut is still regarded in some ██▓▓
██▓▓ quarters as a classic and remains in the ██▓▓
██▓▓ boxes of some of the world's finest DJs. ██▓▓
██▓▓ Almost two years since the release of "Sides ██▓▓
██▓▓ Of Iron" the guys hook up to record "Life In ██▓▓
██▓▓ Loisaida" (New York slang for Lower East ██▓▓
██▓▓ Side). This nu-jazztech record appealed to ██▓▓
██▓▓ music lovers across the board with its tough ██▓▓
██▓▓ techno, subtle house and funky jazz rhthyms. ██▓▓
██▓▓ ██▓▓
██▓▓ Partly recorded in New York and completed in ██▓▓
██▓▓ Glasgow, Chaser released their long-awaited ██▓▓
██▓▓ debut album "Game On". This superb album ██▓▓
██▓▓ received full support from the likes of ██▓▓
██▓▓ Giles Peterson, Kruder & Dorfmeister and ██▓▓
██▓▓ Laurent Garnier. ██▓▓
