Cane

Cane is the Techno-Acid-Electro alter ego of brothers Don and Roel Funcken, aka Funckarma, Shadow Huntaz & Quench. Where Funckarma has an experimental focus within electronic music, CANE takes aim at the dance floor, interlacing Acid, Electro, and Techno infusions with an IDM flavour. Cane distinguishes themselves within the Techno world by their intermittent use of the 4/4 pulse,having it constantly morph into alternating rhythmic forms without ever abandoning that pulsating dancebeat. With releases on the worldwide renowned WARP records from London (Arcola series), Manchester's SKAM records (home base of giants Autechre and Boards or Canada), Oscar Mulero's WARMUP recordings, Colony Records (Dave Tipper), Athens' Creative Space and Utrecht's own 030303 ACID posse, CANE has proven to be no fly-by-night act. With these releases they show the established order of the Techno scene that true innovation has a special place in the slowly developing world of techno music. The CANE releases have gained respect from such international DJ's as Surgeon, Christian Wunsch, Dave Clark, Sven Väth and Oscar Mulero.
