biographical info
The confluence of refined experimentation with noise (and conversely silence), funk rhythm and pure pop melody marks many of Akufen's projects. With releases on the Oral, Hautec, Perlon, Trapez, Revolver and Background labels, his debut full-length for Force Inc. entitled ‘My Way’ took this underground sensation to a level beyond any of the ‘new school’ of techno / house producers infecting the dancefloors. Since the release of My Way, Akufen has gone on to remix Craig David, Massive Attack, Thomas Dolby, and Yello to name a few. He now co-operates his own label, Musique Risqueé, handled and distributed by Cologne’s Kompakt collective.
Also, hear him perform "5mm" @ X Avant NM Festival, 9/14/2007, recorded by CBC Radio 2.
