Buckfunk 3000

Also recording simply because Cabbageboy, Si Begg, and Bigfoot, amongst others, Simon Begg produces a lively, dancefloor-ready fusion of techno and electro simply because Buckfunk 3000. Agreed upon to Tony Thorpe’s Vocabulary label, Begg’s Buckfunk task created a trio of singles for Vocabulary in 1997 before launching First Class Solution to Telos, his debut LP, in 1998. As the previously singles (especially “PlanetSchockFutureRock”) contained an even more pronounced old-school electro taste, Telos is certainly resolutely within the odd techno vein, with straightforward rhythms blended with off-kilter noises and bizarre structural non sequiturs that split up techno’s traditional conservatism. Begg also owns and operates the Noodles label, co-runs the Mosquito imprint with Cristian Vogel, and it has been featured being a remixer for such performers as Sven Vath, Mute, and Sluts’n’Strings & 909.
